I've never been a fan of Nutro. Their foods are notoriously high in
phosphorus (among other things) and I believe that all of their feline dry products acidify a cat's urinary Ph output below the normal range of 6.2-6.4. You´ve never been a fan of anything but Science Diet. Not true. But once I've seen the awesome results I obtained by switching to Science Diet (not to mention what others have experience and being impressed by the research they do, etc.) it was not hard to change my recommendation. How much do you get for every bag you sell? I buy it, I DON'T sell it. You cannot state *anything* about urinary pH (small p and big H) output because you do not know the pH of tap water where she lives. Uh, yes I can and I did. Nothing I said was false. Go look it up if you don't believe me. |

I feed both of my cats Iams Hairball formula (dry) - they like it, and
with brushing, we only have an "accident" (a hairball vomited up) about once a month. I also feed them 9-lives tuna (canned food) on the weekends as a treat! Boy, do they LOVE tuna cat food! Jim Alaininsd wrote: Hello All! We've got two tabbies, Spirit and Angel, each is about 3 years of age. They both eat the same food but Angel has an on-again, off-again sensitivity to the above food. Sometimes she'll go two weeks without vomiting, another time it's twice a day! It always comes up yellow...so we presume it's the food. Is there another food, with "hairball control" that we can give her that you'd recommend? We groom her regularly; without the hairball control she vomits hairballs. You see, she grooms her sister, as well. Spirit grooms Angel too, but apparently is not as sensitive. We also give them "Eucanuba Lamb and Rice" which they both love and keep down. For weekend treat, they love the "Fancy Feast" in the tin that we give them. Angel keeps that down as well. It's only when we mix a small ammount of the Science Diet with the Eucanuba, that Angel gets sick. All suggestions will be most gratefully received! Many thanks for taking the time to respond! Lois |

From: (GAUBSTER2) My previous cats got sick on Science Diet too Lauren, my cats (and dogs) thrive on Science Diet. Numerous other people that I know have both cats and dogs that thrive on Science Diet as well. Well that was NOT my experience. My cats had dry coats and stinky poops from Science Diet foods. We fed SD maintenence at the vet because the vet got such great kick-backs from them. Over 50% of the cats wouldn't eat it, and those who did had notoriously stinky poop - it was just gross. Consequently I hate the stuff. The smell of it nauseates *me*. I once tried it on my cats when they were kittens. They wouldn't eat it either. Smart cats. -L. |

When I used to feed SD my cat Audrey was *always* leaking anal gland liquid hell, on top of other problems. Now, she only does once in a blue moon *thank god*!! Especially back then she slept right by my head. I can't tell you how many times I was woken up in the middle of the night by *anal gland*. And I sleep like the dead. It kind of reminds me of my friend who used to have *really* bad gas because she ate so much Prego spaghetti sauce. Now that she eats other kinds of spaghetti sauce, we can now safely be around her when she indulges in pasta... Go figure. |

The worst was when I worked for the vet and would get "squirted" before 7:30 AM, and changed into my only other set of scrubs, and then would get squirted again right after lunch - couldn't go home to get another set since lunch was already over. I finally just started bringing 4 sets of scrubs with me to work. I hated that! Another time, I got squirted and thought I got it all cleaned up/off, but people kept smelling it on me. It was in my HAIR. EEEEWWWWW!!! -L. -L. |
