Thumper Update Post #22

[rosethecopycat]

I've been feeding her twice a day total of 1/2 can (3 oz) size of Fancy Feast Gourmet Chicken.

Wet food alone is NOT good because there is NOT enough nutrients like dry food.

And, there is no Taurine in Fancy Feast. It is not a complete diet.

Anyone feeding exclusively FF, should feed something with Taurine too.


Prayers for Thumper

We learned the hard way on FF for her to eat soley.
I still provide it to others as a snack (they eat dry food).

Still havent gotten the dry food mixture just right yet. Today I did mix pinch of wet food in eat bit which helped the constancy and enhanced the taste.

OMG! I did not realize that!!! How can FF be considered CAT food without the critical ingredient? (sorry, I am not hijacking the thread, I was just amazed at this fact)

Glad to hear that Thumper is eating!!! However, like Jen, I am TOTALLY shocked that Fancy Feast DOES NOT have Taurine!!!!!!

[Craftlady]

FF lists it by percentage 0.05% in the gourmet chicken brand, but does not name it in the ingrediants list of the product.

Authority (petsmart brand name) actually lists the ingrediant plus the percentage 0.07% of taurine that is included in the product.

What's the difference?
Is Taurine in both products?

I also have recently looked at the FF labels. and it DOES say Taurine .05%. Confused

C'mon Thumper - be a little piggy!

I was told this by the cat food expert at the training session I attended in VA.
Maybe it doesn't meet the recommendations?

Sorry for the confusion, I will try to investigate more before I throw out any information on folks.

Glad to hear that Thumper is eating better. She sure does like to scare ya, huh?
