Best cat food.

[Graham]

I have taken my 4 month old kitten to the vets (vets 4 pets - UK) and they
suggest that the Hills science plan is the best kitten/cat food you can buy
at the moment.

Has anyone else tried this and what did you think to it?

I know the 'vets 4 pets' is a big company but I was just thinking that they
might push this food to boost there sales more. At the moment I am feeding
the kitten Whiskers tin kitten food and the vet said that this food isn't
that good as the meat content is very low, I must admit it does make the
kittens wee quite smelly.

There's been a TON of discussion on this subject over at
rec.pets.cats.health+behav

You may want to peruse the archives at Google.

My cats hate SD, so I feed a mix of Nutro and ProPlan.

The problem with Hills tinned kitten food is that there are only two
flavours. While it is not a bad food I do prefer cats to get a good
mix of flavours/brands to avoid them becoming fixed on one brand.

Given the wide range on the shelves these days I would certainly not
go for Hills.

As for their dry - cats do not do well on a dry food diet, especially
kittens. stick to tinned and you will have a healthy cat.

Science Diet is better for kittens in that it has a higher
fat content which kittens need. Also it is one of the lowest
in magnesium.

Compare the fat content in SD to any of the others. Fat
content in canned food, BTW, is very low. So don't feed
it exclusively.

What total and absolute rubbish. Kittens should NEVER - EVER be fed
dry food. While it may be ok to give a fully grown cat some dry food,
tinned food is always the best way to ensure a healthy diet for any
cat.

Following my Vet's advice. - canned doesn't have enough fat content.
so kitten gets a mix.

And all my cats have eaten dry food daily over 35 years.

And they are Indoor cats, all the time.

I hope you are wearing asbestos underwear the next time you come here
- you made three mistakes in that message:

1) you posted a response to BB
2) you disagreed with him
3) that last line - aside from it being obviously untrue (*nobody*
loves him) - I just can't see it not *really* setting him off.

Too bad I won't see his response to this message, but my filters keep
out the worst of the riff-raff, except when somebody not being

Canned food for kittens has all the fat they are gong to need - as

Thanks for all your input, my vet was the one who recommend the 'Science
plan' (dry food), I did think that the dry food may hurt the kitten being
that he is teething but the vet still insisted that the 'Science plan' was
the best food for him. As you can imagine I am really confused now lol.

Not to confuse things further, but does anyone have any information as to the
truth to this? Consider that the vet sells this and several other brands in the
office and makes a commission. That is incentive to push a certain product.
Medical doctors do it all the time (receiving gifts galore from pharmac.
companies to recommend/prescribe certain meds. Just a thought.

You have to ignore anything Brenchley has to say - he's a notorious
net.kook/net.troll wannabe who is never wrong , not even when he
contradicts himself, and knows everything about everything - just ask
him.

Search groups.google.com and the web in general on his name - he even
has his own FAQ: <http://badtux.net/bob-faq.html>. The only place
he's popular is in killfiles - he's in an awful lot of those.

Your vet is 100% wrong.

A kitten cannot drink enough water to make up for the missing water
content of dry food. Your kitten could die if feed a dry food only
diet. Do not risk your kittens life - you vet is only recommending the
SD rubbish because s/he makes lots of money out of selling it.

Stick to a reasonable quality tinned cat food and your kitten will be
much better for it.

It is about time you learnt how to format a proper usenet post/reply.
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html will give you a good start.

Failure to learn will label you either a moron or a selfish,
inconsiderate, illiterate plonker - it is all down to you.

Probably no such thing as "best". And since manufacturers change
ingredients at times, better to feed a variety of brands, flavors, and
quality to keep kitty from becoming picky. After all, what about all the
changes and controversy about the human food groups pyramid? And do we
all eat only what's "good for us"? Here are 2 very good and recent
links.
