"All life stage" foods have to contain nutrient levels appropriate for kittens, not adult or senior animals. G, please keep your insane need to argue away from this posting. This person wants help. I think this person is smart enough to take what is written and go look into appropriate foods for her cats. |

No emoticons here. In fact, post proof or retract your statement that ""All life stage" foods have to contain nutrient levels appropriate for kittens, not adult or senior animals."

Dear Chris.
You are wrong. Very, very wrong. And it's getting on my nerves. No emoticons here. In fact, post proof or retract your statement that ""All life stage" foods have to contain nutrient levels appropriate for kittens, not adult or senior animals." What's getting on my nerves is that this is SO easy to understand. ANY food that is labelled "all life stages" (according to the AAFCO statement) has passed the minimum requirements to sustain the most demanding stage of life--the growth (kitten) stage. An "all life stage" food may contain levels of nutrients that are more appropriate for a kitten and not appropriate (excesses of nutrients) for an adult or senior cat (which may require lower levels of certain nutrients, not higher). That's just the way it is. It shouldn't be hard to understand. Kittens REQUIRE (for proper nutrition) higher levels of fat, protein, phosphorus, calcium, etc. Adult and senior cats do not require the same levels of those nutrients as they did when they were kittens. Don't trick people into thinking that feeding an "all life stage" food to an older cat is okay. It may NOT be. That's all I'm saying. For anyone to come on here (especially after reading all of the info that has been posted about all life stage foods) and then ADVOCATE feeding this type of product is not being responsible. Will feeding an "all life stage" food guarantee problems? Of course not. Are you avoiding risk factors by feeding this type of food? No. |
