My previous cats got sick on Science Diet too

Lauren, my cats (and dogs) thrive on Science Diet. Numerous other people
that
I know have both cats and dogs that thrive on Science Diet as well.



Well that was NOT my experience. My cats had dry coats and stinky poops from
Science Diet foods.


We fed SD maintenence at the vet because the vet got such great
kick-backs from them. Over 50% of the cats wouldn't eat it, and those
who did had notoriously stinky poop - it was just gross. Consequently
I hate the stuff. The smell of it nauseates *me*. I once tried it on
my cats when they were kittens. They wouldn't eat it either. Smart
cats.

When I used to feed SD my cat Audrey was *always* leaking anal gland
liquid hell, on top of other problems. Now, she only does once in a blue
moon *thank god*!! Especially back then she slept right by my head. I
can't tell you how many times I was woken up in the middle of the night
by *anal gland*. And I sleep like the dead

*Nothing* grosser. The worst was when I worked for the vet and would
get "squirted" before 7:30 AM, and changed into my only other set of
scrubs, and then would get squirted again right after lunch - couldn't
go home to get another set since lunch was already over. I finally
just started bringing 4 sets of scrubs with me to work. I hated that!
Another time, I got squirted and thought I got it all cleaned up/off,
but people kept smelling it on me. It was in my HAIR. EEEEWWWWW!!!

OMG, that must have been absolutely awful! Even though my cats had really
stinky poops from Hill's Science Diet foods, fortunately, we never had the
squirting problem. However, one of my cats anal glands became very badly
impacted and infected from eating Science Diet so we had to take her to the vet
for treatment. I felt so sorry for her and it was then and there I swore I
would never feed Science Diet to another one of my cats. Even the vet
suggested feeding another brand of food which was a surprise since it was him
who originally recommended Science Diet.

I've never been a fan of Nutro.

So? This is important to us because...?


Because I said so. You don't think it's important? I've had many bad
experiences w/ Nutro (I'm not the only one) and they are pretty much the "used
car salesmen" of pet foods w/ their claims and tactics.

Their foods are notoriously high in phosphorus
(among other things)

I've never had any problem, nor have the other 15 or so people I know
who feed it. In fact, my cats have been fed Nutro ever since it first
came on the market.

Good for you. I look at risk factors when it comes to nutrition and high
phosphorus foods are something I avoid. Your mileage may vary.

Are you a vet? A food nutritionist? A veterinary researcher?
Thought not.

Thanks for answering your own question. What are you? Any of the above,
because from the sounds of your posts, you don't seem to be a vet, a
nutritionist, or a vet researcher?

Whatever. Keep promoting your Hill's SD crap. Carry on.
Nobody is listening to you anymore.


You were listening and hearing something that wasn't implied! Did I promote
Science Diet in this thread, or are you making things up as you go?

We fed SD maintenence at the vet because the vet got such great
kick-backs from them.

Please be EXACTLY SPECIFIC....what "kickbacks"? Nobody can ever answer this
question, and I really am curious as to what you mean.

This is a new one! Science Diet causes excessive "anal gland leakage"! LOL
More Hill's bashing!
