Cat food brands--Science Diet = cat equivalent of rich folk buyingtheir people food at Whole Foods and other boutique grocery stores?
I'm skeptical that expensive cat food brands like Science Diet are
worth the money, health and nutrition-wise, over brands like Purina One. Is this a "boutique" type issue, where those who shop at expensive, organic grocery stores for human food (e.g. Whole Foods, EarthFare, etc) also tend toward the same for their cats? I shop at SuperWalmart for my groceries, and am not sure I'd shop at expensive, snooty places like Whole Foods even if I could afford 2-3X the cost of a cart of groceries. I believe it's probably short-changing the cat to buy the least expensive cat food; probably lots of junk in there that will just end up as additional crap in the litter box--a false economy. Anyway, would love to hear from people who know something about cat health and nutrition who don't also subscribe to the view that buying organic people food will significantly expand the life expectancy and quality of life of people. I'm always skeptical of marketing hoopla, and I'm thinking there may be a parallel with boutique cat food and boutique people food. And for those who do buy the expensive stuff, what would you consider an acceptable "next step down" in cat food brands? Because frankly, the truth is often somewhere in the middle. Thanks. Mike |
