I’ve been feeding my cat canned food for 8 years now, and he’s still healthy. Another vet told my aunt that pouches are super unhealthy and i wanna know is it true.
had different vets say, never feed wet food, never feed dry food. One vet tried to convince me that we should only feed cats mice. But that vet also lied to me and told me that my cat had kidney failure to explain how the cat nearly died while left at his clinic
I feed my 3 year old girl Smalls shredded chicken and turkey during the day and Open Farm dry at night, she spends most of her days outside and comes in few times during the day to eat and check on me, when it gets close to getting dark I lock her in so she isn’t outside after dark (doesn’t always work out because if she isn’t ready to come inside she won’t but I don’t let her stay outside all night) Wish I knew with other cats growing up what I know now with this one
The right food is what you can afford and what your cat will eat. The high price of cat food makes decisions difficult. My cats have been eating Fancy Feast for years until they changed the formula, now they won’t touch it. I’ve changed them over to Friskies and they love it (wet). This food, so far, meets the affordabiity and cats liking it. Thank you for this video. There are a lot of cat guardians who are unable to feed the high end and high priced food out there.
After working in the back at a private practice and growing up around cats, I sort of gathered the mixed diet conclusion. Unfortunately, Im in a funny pickle where we’re about to start slow feeders for dry to avoid scarf and barf through the week. And then on weekends she gets 1 or 2 cans, but it makes her constipated if not spread out, so we may be trying new brands for that at well. Very sensitive little girl haha
