PetGuard food for Espy and Nipsy?
I passed a new pet store yesterday so I stopped in to pick up some
whatevers. They had a brand of food I hadn't noticed before called PetGuard. The label seemed reasonable and I bought a few varieties. No Turkey. The boys just don't like turkey and I won't waste money on it. I tried out the first can this morning. Rabbit and Rice. Rice I figure they can do without but maybe the Rabbit would be ok. I peeled the lid off and stuck a fork into it. Very hard stuff. Perhaps a chisel would work better? I chipped it out with the fork. They each approach their bowl and start eating. They stop eating. They switch bowls. Let's see what you've got. Oh, same thing. Espy wanders off to check out the dry food area and see what's up over there. Nipsy starts trying to scrape porcelin off the bathtub to cover up the food. Not a good start. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Hopefully better results. On the plus side of the ledger, I did find a refill for that circular toy thing with the ball in the outside track. They ripped that cardboard out months ago. Now if I can just locate the toy. Plus, a new scoop. I noticed the old one has a crack and isn't long for the world. The joys of the new pet store. |

I buy Petguard, but not the rabbit and rice (ick, yes it is VERY hard for
some reason). My cats love chicken and wheat germ, beef and wheat germ and premium feast. Both the chicken and the beef and wheat germ are very juicy, which is what they love best about it. PF is the first canned food of any kind I could ever get in them. Karen "dgk" wrote in message ... I passed a new pet store yesterday so I stopped in to pick up some whatevers.

Karen Before I switched my cats to a homemade diet, I fed them Pet Guard (along with a couple of other brands) and they really liked it.

I've given mine PetGuard in the past. I also saw the rabbit flavor and decided to try that. I thought I had gotten a bad batch, because the stuff was near impossible to pry out of the can. The cats wouldn't touch it, and the other two cans went into the trash. They did like some other flavors (beef stew? and something chicken) but I decided to stay away from the more out-there flavors.
