Rank these canned foods!
I am close to a Petsmart and a Whole Foods, can get to a Petco and
Trader Joes. I can brood over prices and look for sales, and my cat can decide the taste, but could you, the more experienced people here, please rank the following canned food brands according to nutrition: Fancy Feast Pro Plan Iams Nutro Science Diet Nature's Recipe Trader Joe's house brand Whole Foods house brand Trying to avoid the least and the most expensive. |

Here's a link that will help if you're worried about CRF, but I don't know if it will help with nutritional values: http://webpages.charter.net/katkarma/canfood.htm This one is by "Consumer Research, but I don't know if it will give you what you're looking for: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/fa...ood/index.html And Phil P's "Max's House" web site is a font of good information on just about anything feline - here's his take on feline nutrition: http://www.maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.htm HTH!

My cat just eats Fancy Feast almost exclusively. They have 50 flavors, and she's tried and likes them all. I never feed her the same flavor twice in a row...as a matter of fact, it's rare if she gets the same flavor in the same week. She has had Iams a few times though. |

Hi, I can empathize with trying to find a way to find the best or most nutritious food for your cat. I recently ran across an article in Animal Wellness Magazine (June/July 2007 issue). The main article is called "Pet Food Recall leaves bitter taste: What they're not telling you." At the end of that article is a link to a pet food report by a vet on pet food ranking according to nutritional values. I think it's very helpful and you might think so to. Just go to: http://www.animalwellnessmagazine.com/art/aV93_62c.htm and see wha you think. |

Of course the cat may not care what the nutritional value is and may actually only eat the least nutritionally valuable food... |

I just want to learn where the best value is. This knowledge can be used for other cats too, each of whom will have their taste preference. |

I know #1 and #3 but didn't know about Consumer Research article. As I said in another post too, one surprise for me was to see Fancy Feast being regarded as lower level brand. I have to believe they are better, if only because I just bought a bunch of them. |

Another thing, I haven't seen the actual product, only its web page, but the ingredient list given there is so short that while it seems "pure" I wonder if all the nutrients are there. In particular I didn't see taurine in the ingredient list. Go to above web page, mouse over cuisine, click poultry or seafood, then any particular entree. Of course food so expensive probably has balanced nutrition, so it must be the web site quirk. Another odd thing is, their product locator brings up grocery stores, Kmart and Target, but no Petsmart or Petco. |
