Looking for small bit senior dry cat food.
I have an 19 / 20 year old kitty named "Kitty" that over the years has lost most of her teeth. A lot of them were gone when I took her in at 4 / 5 years old with just the roots left. Thing is that she likes her dry food but the ones I tryed for senior or adult cats have pieces so large that she has trouble eating it. I have started giving her dry kitten kitten food which is small pieces in addition to her canned senior food. Does anyone know of a senior or adult dry food that has small size pieces like the dry kitten food comes in. I do not need advice on the canned because I found the senior type she likes. I just beed help finding a small piece dry for her. TIA |

Looking for small bit senior dry cat food.
Don't know about the senior food but have a cat that shows up here with
absolutely no teeth. Can't get near her but that is what they tell me. I take my cats food which is fairly small, wrap it in a towel and whack it with a rolling pin. Makes smaller pieces which the cat either eats or swallows whole. I watch while she eats on the picnic table so nothing bothers her. "kraut3852" wrote in message ...

I just beed help finding a small piece dry for her. TIA I just switched my cat to Wellness brand dry food. The pellets are little spheres. They are significantly smaller in size than the NutroMax (it was sort of lozenges) I was feeding her. And my vet says that due to improvements in cat food over the past 20 years, there's no need to feed 'senior' cat food, as long as you are using good quality food. When my cat turned 10, I asked her about this specifically; I want my kitty to live as long as possible. I was somewhat surprised at her answer, but she is a very good vet. Wellness is one of the very best dry cat foods on the market: no meat byproducts, wheat, corn, soy or artificial flavors or preservatives. It's kind of expensive, but then, you pretty much get what you pay for. And, I spend more on litter, than on food. Congratulations on your senior citizen kitty; sadly, most do not live this long. |

TIA When I had a senior cat, I had really good results with Royal Canin indoor mature. The kibbles are small, and a tad softer. And the glucosamine and vitamins helped to get him moving better. He took the stairs faster and trotted again. Recently, I got a cat who arrived eating a cheap brand of food, but it was really small kibbles. She didn't seem to like anything I wanted to serve. So, I went to the store and felt all the bags of Royal Canin and found the smallest kibble I could find, and she loves it. I don't have the bag handy, but it was something about hair and skin I believe. |

A friend told me about it and gave me a coupon so I got a bag. The pieces (Kibbles) are really small and she seems to like it and it come in 3 or 4 flavors. Thanks all again. |
