Suggest a cat food for my cats

[jennielynn1970]

I've been feeding Blue Buffalo Sensitive Stomach brand, but I'm finding most of my cats are getting diarhhea from it. Not happy.

Is Blue Wilderness really good??? I was gonna go back to California Natural, but that has grains in it as well. SIGH.


I'm confused with foods right now.

Ok, so after talking to a few people on FB and a few rescue people I'm mixing AVODERM and SIMPLY NOURISH to see if that will help with the looooooooose poos and the tummy upsets. I sure hope so!! Simply nourish has a limited ingredient list, so I thought that would be a good choice, and Avoderm came highly recommended. If it's poos don't clear up, a vet visit will be in order for my new guy, because his is just like soup. YUCK!!

Blue Buffalo canned is a bit rich. I feed it as a treat or a topper ofr their regular canned food.

I feed Wilderness Dry. Avoderm is rich for my kittehs but they like it as a topper and really just like the juice.

What they really like is Eagle Holistic canned, Salmon and Shrimp. I started using it after rescuing Emily, who was having stomach issues from all the garbage she had been eating. hers were like soup, too.

It's a lot better. Not perfect, but better. Probably would be great if I stopped with the toppers.

I don't use any canned at all. I'm talking totally dry.

My new guy came from a shelter, and I never asked if they checked for any kind of stool sample from him. Silly me. I'll have to get him checked at my vet soon. I'm afraid he could have something and pass it on to my other guys, although they are having regular poos except for Sophie, who has always had a mix of loose and regular.

I switched to dry Taste of the Wild a couple of years ago, and I've been quite satisfied. Althea is tiny, so weight is not an issue. Blue has maintained his weight at around 14 pounds. Admittedly, I don't remember Mordred's last weigh-in, but I have noticed a definite increase in his activity since he's been on TOTW. Since he's 10 years old, I'm surprised when he actually *runs* around the house. His weight has been around 16 pounds (down from a high of 18).

They don't like TOTW canned (because it has chunks, and this crew likes only pate), so I recently discovered a wonderful canned food called simply "Dave's Cat Food." (They make dog food, too.) I spoke with the owners of my local pet store (no Petsmart or Petco in the area), and they're going to start carrying it. You can find it online. I found the waggintails.com had the best price - and Dave's is less expensive than the well-known premium brands. You might want to check it out.

NEVER EVER feed your babies IAMS. A few years ago pamela Anderson did a video on IAMS and they do test on animals it was small cages with multiple cats and dogs with chunks of bodies missing out !!!! That day I threw out all the IAMS in my house and went to purina

I've been feeding Fister Royal Canin's "Mobility" and "Senior" for quite some time, and he gets a bit of "Sensitive" too. On the bags it says: Vetenary Exclusive. I cannot buy it in ordinary pet shops, only at the vets. Fister seems to thrive on it. I do give him a bit of Whiskas wet food, the one in pouches that has gelé in it. I pour a bit of boiled water in it also, since he licks the juice off and mostly leaves the rest.

I would like to try some of the grain free, but I have not seen it here. In this link (thanks again, Freedom!) it does say which ingredients are in it, but not what age the various products are for. Fister is 15 and I believe he should not have too much protein. Is that right?
