Archetype can be fed as a supplement as well, to provide a source of

non-heated
meat. Archetype Buffet is complete. Wysong also makes a number of all-meat

cat
and dog foods, which are not nutritionally complete and are meant to be
supplemented. Wysong makes a variety of pet foods, some of which are
nutritionally complete diets in themselves, others of which are meant to

be
supplements to improve the diet; for example, if you are feeding a

commercial
dry food, you can increase the meat content of the cat's diet by

supplementing
with Wysong's all-meat products.


Ya know... I'm thinking that Wysong may want to simplify their product line
somewhat. I need a Sherpa guide to figure out which of their products is
supposed to do what, and that *can't* be good for sales.... L.

I don't know, I rather like that about Wysong. Their philosophy is based

on a
sort of matrix--the best diet you can provide balanced with how much

effort you
are willing to put into it. So they provide foods/supplements for several
different levels of convenience. In other words, if you prefer to feed a
typical commercial diet, they offer ways for you to improve it. According

to
them, at the top of the scale (best possible diet) would be freshly killed

prey
of the kind that dogs and cats normally eat. At the bottom of the scale

would
be a low quality generic cat food. Of course the top of the scale is not

really
practical for most people, so Wysong offers products to let you choose

where
you want to be on that scale.

If they simplified it by only offering a couple lines of pet food, then

they'd
be pretty much like every other pet food mfr, right? So I don't think

they'd
want to do that.

If you just want to feed one product in their line, choose Vitality canned

or
dry. That is their sort of all-purpose feline maintenance diet.


Oh, I have no problem with their philosphy, I think it's great. It's just
that, on their website, it's impossible to tell how each of the products is
intended to be used -- and they have so many, it makes it really difficult
to figure out which one will fit in with what kind of diet. Maybe they
could put up some kind of guide on the website? Or maybe they have one and
I just couldn't find it... L.
