    Oh I know what you mean! I'm not always very good about reading the labels, but that list of ingredients makes me cringe.......I'm sure hoping I can help her find something better.

    I tried the Maxximum Inside Formula or Weight loss - whichever it was and I took the bag to my vet for her opinion. She said it sounded okay but of course said there is much better. I let the cats try it and the green pieces in it made a couple of my cats puke.
    I've since switched my guys to Nutro Complete Care Inside Weight Loss Formula and they all like it, no puking and there is less poo in the litter boxes and the poo doesn't really smell. All pluses in my opinion and makes it well worth the price for the Nutro.

    I feed mine Nutro too, and they love it. I told my sister about that brand, but she said she can't really afford it right now. I tried talking to her about foods (actually, I was trying to talk her into rehoming her pets, but that's a different story), but I do know that she is really hurting with money right now. Thanks!

    You may also want to let your sister know that if she spends a little more and buys her cats a better premium food, that she won't need to feed them as much food and the bag of food will last much longer than the really cheap brands of food. The cats will get more calories and better nutrition with smaller amounts of food without all of the fillers that the cheap brands have in them.

    I also loved feeding my cats Nutro Complete Care and they loved it too but now I have to feed them Royal Canin Urinary S/O diet because my cat Storm will develop crystals if I don't. My vet also told me that most indoor only cats need about 300 calories a day which isn't very much. Some may need even less.

    Well... of the choices at WalMart, Maxximum seems to be the best available. Purina One is a close second. I feed Double-Oh Maxximum because on anything else we've tried he has had just AWFUL gas and the worst smelling poop, ever. On Maxximum, nothing. We also use those tidy cat crystals instead of clay litter... works MIRACLES, that stuff does. But anyway, back to the food - he is active... very active....... nice shiny SILKY fur, no shedding above the norm. Its actually not bad for the price and compared to the other options.

    However, I DO NOT recommend the dog food.

    Shop around a bit for the Nutro. Petsmart often has it on special.

    Oh really? Why is that? Just curious, I feed all Nurto personally, but my SIL feeds the Maxximum dog food and swears by it.


    I have told my sis about the benefits of buying a better food, especially about them eating less and in the end it actually is cheaper than the cheap foods. It hasn't seemed to work so far. Her situation right now just isn't good, and I kind of have a feeling her husband won't 'let' her buy a better food......but I don't really want to get into that whole thing right now. Thanks for the help everyone!!
