Purina One: Sensitive Systems

[emilysgk]

I also use Purina foods. I feel they are a pretty good company and have felt safe feeding it to them, even through the recall and all that. Righ now we are still doing kitten chow, which is getting pricey with the 3 of them. I may be soon switching to regular. Last time I had to buy off brand but it seemed ok. I bought the Walmart Special Kitty Kitten good. The ingrediants and nutrition were nearly identicle to the Purina kitten. So I think its ok for awhile.

Does anyone feed their cats Fancy Feast? I'm just wondering how it compares to the more expensive brands.

I buy Purina Fancy Feast crunchy and mix it w/Purina Indoor Formula and my fur posse gobbles it up! No vomiting, no nothin'! I don't give them canned food because they just can't keep it down; makes them sick every time. I worried about them getting enough moisture but they drink plenty of water from the fountain so if it ain't broke, I'm not about to try to fix it. Occasionally, I give them little bits of raw organic chicken and cooked chicken for sure because I can't eat it w/out sharing; they won't let me. Anyhow, to answer your question, Purina Fancy Feast Gourmet Gold crunchy in the pouch is a big hit in this household.

I've had our 6 on the Purina One Urinary Tract formula since Oatmeal last had plumbing issues last October. Not only do they like it but his plumbing has been just fine, thank goodness. No issues here!

Thanks for the replies!

I finally found a canned food Magic will eat...Fancy Feast elegant medleys shredded tuna. She actually gobbled it up. I don't know how many expensive natural/organic wet foods I tried that she either didn't like or upset her tummy. I tried a much cheaper brand and she ate it right up! I'm hoping between this and the Innova dry food that it will strike a good balance for her.

Thought I'd post a Dixie update.

We have her on Purina One Sensitive Systems and things looked better for a bit but then the vomiting resumed. I started to keep a record of the times she ate, drank and vomited. She's a big water drinker, sitting at the bowl for up to 5 minutes each time. She always gets a drink right after eating so...

To make a long story short, she's developed an allergy to chlorine in the water, it also put her through a bought of IBS (the frequent vomiting and empty tummy lowered her natural immunities). We're buying filtered in the jugs for now, until my husband can reinstall my tap filter.
Seems some cats are sensitive to it, I never knew that.

She's doing much better and hasn't thrown up for about 2 weeks.
Also, my two boys are on the POSS and for more good news...
less stinky visits to the box so they're retaining more of the nutrients and they're eating fewer times through the day. Even though they are healthy and everything was normal, their box odors could've drained the stain from the wood furniture!

I use the Purina One for Bei-jing, she has been on it ever since she was a kitten, she is on the one for seniors and sensitive stomach, she does great on it, she rarely has to go to the vet unless it is for her normal shots.

The vet has always said it is a highger quality food and if it is working not to change her off of it, she has never had a u.t.i or anything that they might get from some foods.
