$18.00 for a bag of cat food!!!

**christa** · 09-27-2006, 08:58 AM

I pay $45 bucks for an 8 pound bag of Z/D for Brodie.
I pay $25 bucks for a 4 pound bag of I/D for Josie.

I would LOVE to pay $18 per bag again!

WOW!!

I would pay whatever it took... but you guys really are!

Makes the $18.00 seem even more worth it now!!

I paid $18 for a 4 pound bag of the low pH food for Pouncer.

They're all now on Royal Canin prescription food at $32 for a 17lb bag and I think thats a huge bargain!

If I had had my boys on Royal Canin SO to begin with, it would haved saved me $400 in one month to treat my Oscar for a UTI.

Divide the price by the number of days it lasts...and you'll see it is worth it.
Heck, I spend 5 times that on a cup of coffee or a bottle of pop!

No additional comment, I just wanted to say Hi to Jupiter

. Does he like the new food?

I paid 30 Dollars for an eight pound bag of Medi Cal for Mr Scrappy, and he hated it.
Baby Micheal loved it and wolfed it down, like it was a steak.
Its was a special Senior Diet, but Scrappy and Micheal cant read.

awww so sweet of you! Jupiter says HI back!

Yes, Jupiter does just fine with the new food. What is weird is Tinky and him know the difference in their foods... I put the bowls down and Jupiter always goes to his bowl and Tinky to hers...

Taranis is now on Royal Canin SO, and I feed it to all the downstairs cats when I don't have time to isolate her. Do you know if it's okay to feed it to cats on a regular basis that don't have UTI problems? I know that they like it better than their Royal Canin Indoor Weight Management. I know it's going to be pricey but since it's mostly boys downstairs, I could be saving money by putting them on this type of diet now.

As far as I know, it's safe to feed to all of your cats. I've been feeding all five of my older cats this for quite a while and my vet knows this even though when I order it from them it's under Storm's name. I also have 4 boys so it can't hurt. It makes them drink more water and they pee more so it helps flush out their systems.

Yup - all my guys were on it!

Now since it seems Pouncer had a different issue than previously thought, everyone is now on Royal Canin prescription High Fiber Low Calorie (used to be called High Factor) We all know what the reduced calorie is for

Yep - beats the heck out of cleaning up puke every day and watching Josie drag her butt all over the carpet! LOL Food does make a difference & I have learned to deal with the price.

I'm just glad that I got Brodie on dry food finally . . . he was on the wet Z/D ONLY for a few months, which was $55 for 24 cans. Not even a month's worth! It was terrible! At least an 8lb bag will last for more than a month for him.

We haven't got through a full bag yet, but I'm guessing it will probably last about 2 months. That's pretty good.
