Hi,
I have recently adopted a domestic short haired and was given Hills Science Diet Hairball Control Dry food to feed her. She loves the food but we were worried she wasn't drinking enough so are now feeding a combination of wet and dry food. Last week I took her to the vet (for checkup and vaccinations) and was told she is a little overweight and to feed her at the top end of the 3Kg range, about 55g dry food a day. However we are finding that she is finishing her food very quickly and seems to be constantly hungry (leading us to food bowls etc to show us there is no food, licking/pawing where food is to show us there is none etc). Also, last week at the vet she was 3.6kg and this week when I weighed her she was 3.2kg. I am currently feeding 50g dry food (in a Catit Food Tree or rolling along the floor so she has to work for it) and one pouch of Felix wet food a day. Does anyone have any suggestions on other brands I could try that are still good quality or advice regarding what to do? I have looked into Advance, Royal Canin, Eukanuba and other Hills varieties but the best I could find is the Hills Optimal Care that would increase the amount to about 65g per day.
Thanks!
