Royal Canin
So now I am reading that Royal Canin hard food for cats contains too
much Vit. D and is also killing cats? And that is what I switched to from canned food. I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties. |

Not too much liver (vit A overdose), and heart is a good source of taurine. Research research research. -- Cheryl |

Research research research. ---------- In the last year of Molly's life, when she would eat only human tuna, I used to supplement her with Felovite II vitamins. Could a healthy cat do well, long term, on a diet of homemade cooked chicken (e.g.) plus feline vitamins to supply the taurine and the other required vitamins? Best regards, ---Cindy S. |

I had a cat with IBD and it seemed that nothing he ate (once he started eating again) agreed with him. I tried to home- cook his food. Some people with IBD cats have had great results with a raw diet, but I am not confident in my ability to create a healthy, safe diet, so I tried a cooked recipe given to me from my vet. He wouldn't eat it. It had chicken, rice, vitamin supplement. I think the vitamin supplements that I found have too strong of a medicinal smell for it to be appealing to cats. There are books that have recipes for home-cooked diets for pets. If you're really interested in trying it, I'd suggest looking for a reputable one. -- Cheryl |

I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties. Interesting. My one experience was brief and expensive. I have a cat who showed very early kidney disease. At the recommendation of my vet, I switched her from Innova to Royal Canin Renal LP. After a month, cat was riddled with calcium oxalate stones, and had a SEVERE kidney infection. Cat had no stones before Royal Canin. Now cat has LOTS of stones. We switched to X/D and we're not seeing any new stone formation. Poor kitty Corey |

You seem to have this problem with a lot of premium foods, as in, you posted that Fancy Feast Killed your Cat a few days back. |

I'm TOTALLY MAKING IT UP that my cat presented with calcium oxalate stones after feeding Royal Canin. /sarcasm Sweetheart, I've got the radiographs to prove it along with a negative UA prior to the food change and a very positive UA after. The SINGLE change was the food. Would you care to tell me how YOU would explain that? And I REALLY think you're stretching things by calling Fancy Feast a "premium food." Corey |

The SINGLE change was the food. There did not have to be a change at all. Your cat may have been predisposed to the problem. My point is, you are very fast to blame food for your cat's health problems. It is ridiculous. Would you care to tell me how YOU would explain that? And I REALLY think you're stretching things by calling Fancy Feast a "premium food." Bull****. You admitted that you haven't even looked at the nutrition differences since Purina took over a few years ago. Honeybuns. |
