Anyone who has been following my food saga for at least a year in here
may be interested to hear about this...

I have had my cat on primarily California Natural with about 25% Science
Diet Nature's Best and a small amount of Innova and even lesser amount
of Iams (very small amount) mixed in with it.

Finally came to the end of that food about 2 weeks ago... well an
imposed end as I still had one container but decided I had it hanging
around long enough and was perhaps getting long on the tooth even though
it may still be good.

I decided to make the gradual switch over to 100% Science Diet Nature's
Best. The food is available locally and switching to this made sense
since the old blend already had some of this in it. After a couple of
bouts of somewhat loose stools everything has settled down nicely. There
has been no throwing up at all. The cat is happily chowing down on the
SDNB with the most noticably change being the decrease in the volume of
stool.

I have a bag of the Science Diet Adult Chicken & Rice formula that I am
gradually mixing in with the SDNB. I will continue this until I have a
50/50 mix and then feed that.

I am strongly considering putting her on the SD Chicken & Rice 100% once
the SDNB is all gone. However, and I'm not convinced this is a valid
consideration or not, the SDNB has different sized & shaped bits which
I'm thinking may help somewhat with dental health. I've noticed the SD
Chicken & Rice are all of the same small size and shape.

Comments anyone? Phil? Steve?


Don't a couple of the SD's have a sticker that they have been approved
as a dental health diet? I know it was talked about in one of the
threads, so maybe mix one of those in? Or, since kitty is doing well
with the SDNB, why not stick with that and start brushing kitty's teeth?
Or does kitty not like this??
