M/D is also used for diabetic cats. Purinia has had DM out for some time and now Purina has competition. Sadly it doesn't look like what I'm looking for. I was hopeful. Adkin's diet for cats? Steve, you elluded to this. Now that the cat is out of the bag, do you feel like sharing? What is the protein source? |

It seemed that Hill's was maybe beta testing something. This M/D stuff does not look good. Pork by-products, corn gluten meal, corn meal, powdered cellulose??? What kills me is that it has not real chicken liver, but chicken liver "flavor". I do think Hill's is on the right track making foods with less carbs but boy do they need to change their ingredients to something more substantially appropriate for a carnivore, IMO.

Cheryl, yep, I remember. I also remember he said it didn't work. In a
biochemical perspective, if the carbohydrate intake is not much lower than the demand of the brain for glucose, it won't work. If this food had only undigestible starch (like cellulose), it would work but I bet there would be a lot of constipation. But once you add corn, forget it since I presume the carb level is more than just 2 or 3%. Lauren, it couldn't look good coming from them. LOL But... it's a start toward something better. This is why criticizing can be *very constructive.* |
