Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2006Another catfood question
My Lilo is 2yrs old and I know alot of people say not to buy Iams because they test on animals and because of what they put in their food...but when Lilo eats that, her coat shines and she's silky soft. Every other brand I've tried made her coat look dull and dirty and courser in texture. Any suggestions of a brand closest to Iams that I might try?? I'm in NY(USA). Thanks C : My Lilo is 2yrs old and I know alot of people say not to buy Iams because : they test on animals and because of what they put in their food...but when : Lilo eats that, her coat shines and she's silky soft.

Iams, Science Diet, Nutro, Fancy Feast, Pro Plan. > My Lilo is 2yrs old and I know alot of people say not to buy Iams because > they test on animals and because of what they put in their food...but when [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks > C It's such a shame that Iams has a reputation for being "good" because the ingredients are anything but. For the past few years I've been buying a food that is not very well known, but has better ingredients than any of the "famous" foods and is pretty much the same (higher) price. It is this one: http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com/ I've lived with cats for nearly thirty years, and my current cats' coats are the nicest I have ever seen or felt. They all have silky, shiny gorgeous fur since they have been eating the "chicken soup" food. I swear by this brand, and it is the only premium pet food I have ever purchased where I could SEE the results. mjoann Care to be more specific as to what you believe makes Iams a *bad* cat food? Mort > Care to be more specific as to what you believe makes > Iams a *bad* cat food? > > Mort the ingredients- the 2nd-4th ingredients are Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn Grits, and Corn Meal Meat by-products and corn are horrible things to have in cat food, especially when they are that close to the top. mjoann > the ingredients- the 2nd-4th ingredients are Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn > Grits, and Corn Meal [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > mjoann I used to feed our cats Science Diet, and I think it had similar ingredients. I have been using Iams Multi-Cat, and it shows chicken by-product meal, chicken, corn grits, dried beet pulp, powdered cellulose, etc. Been buying the Iams for convenience at Walmart. I may just start shopping for food at Petsmart again and look for a quality food. Mort My cat herd (five) seem to like the canned tuna from Trader Joe's.., so did we decide which food was best..? Mike..!! I show cats (so coat condition is very important to me) and I feed them a mix of Nutro's Max Cat and Innova Evo.

Of course the cats hate it.., so I guess it's back to 9 lives, and Friskies..!! Then again, little Tina loves a nice gropher for the evening course..!! Seems to keep her slim and trim.., just like deer meat for a human I guess..!! |
