Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2005Need Innova Web Site
Going to switch my two older cats from Science Diet and try Innova after reading posts about this product. I have been searching the web site for Innova but coming up with nothing but dealers who sell it. Found only one dealer in my area -Detroit- who carries Innova but would like to know all the line of Innova feline dry food for seniors before we go to the store Sunday. Does any one have a link they could post or e-mail me- which I prefer- Thank You > Going to switch my two older cats from Science Diet and try Innova after > reading posts about this product. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Does any one have a link they could post or e-mail me- which I prefer- > Thank You The company that makes Innova is called Natura. Below is the link: http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=inn-home > Going to switch my two older cats from Science Diet and try Innova after > reading posts about this product. What specifically concerns you about Science Diet? Hi Tonya, If you are near a Good Food Company, they usually carry Innova. Also, have you checked Pet Supplies Plus? I believe they may carry it too. I think the Naturapet website has a store locator on it. Good luck in finding it. I would recommend a slow switch though once you do. Try adding a small amount of the new food to the old, then gradually add more and more new food. This will help your kitties adapt to the more nutrient dense food.

I have some experience with this food. I had one cat consuming it whose stools were horribly stinky, yet with the other there was hardly a difference. Of course, the other cat cannot consume canned food without a chronic diarrhea problem. The same company produces "California Natural" which is also worthy your consideration. It is a much simpler formula. > Going to switch my two older cats from Science Diet and try Innova after > reading posts about this product.

They are doing well. I liked the nutrient numbers on the Science Diet better. <<I liked the nutrient numbers on the Science Diet better.>> What nutrient numbers did you like better? I just got the new Innova EVO food. NO GRAIN. Below is a link to compare it and science diet. http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=comp-wiz-results&animal=Cat&id1=1255&id2= 14&id3=&id4=&x=51&y=7 Joe www.isleofavaloncathaven.com > <<I liked the nutrient numbers on the Science Diet better.>> > > What nutrient numbers did you like better? > I just got the new Innova EVO food. NO GRAIN. Below is a link to compare it > and science diet. Some of the "ingredient descriptions" are biased. There is no discussion about nutrition or nutrient content. This is more of the "same old, same old". Anyone who is going to buy a food based SOLELY on the ingredient label is going to be led astray by said ingredient label. Nutrition should be what is most important....not how we "feel" about a particular ingredient. The most glaring example of this is: "corn is considered be a major allergen". Corn is NOT a major allergen for cats and cats that are allergic to corn are practically non-existent. Innova is an excellent food; in fact, they've just come out with EVO, a new food which is completely grain-free. Innova does contain herring, which may not agree with all cats. Herring gives one of my cats gas and loose stool. For this reason, I do not feed Innova exclusively, but he is fine eating Innova canned a few times a week. When I used the merchant locater on Innova's website, it only showed one store in my city who carries it, when in actuality there are three. This leads me to believe that their merchant locater is not up-to-date. Check with your local feed stores to see if they carry it. |
