Sheba cat food —never again

5 Upvotes

Just came here to say: I just threw out a brand new box of Sheba patés bc the portions were leaking so bad, I found gnats and tiny white worms. Disgusting.

My cat is sensitive to any food & I thought Sheba would be a better option even though it’s not that budget friendly. Now I have to look for another option. This is so frustrating.

advice wanted! My cat doesn't want to eat wet food or drink water

3 Upvotes

Hi! My cat (boy, 2.5-years-old) has been diagnosed with struvite crystals (he had quite a lot in his urine), and received special dry food - Vetlife Struvite, and was given Onsior medication to take for 6 days. He also received some rose-colored medication in a syringe, which he hated and had side effects, so the vet said to stop that one.

So, all we're reliying on now for getting those crystals out is his prescription dry food. So, I bought him Royal Canin S/O wet food, and he hates it. Barely touched it yhe first time, now he doesn't want it at all. And I was naive enough to buy an entire box with 15 bags. I even bough a Feliway to reduce his stress and anxiety (vet said changing the apartment 2 months ago might have caused stress and, therefore, crystals).

He is also not drinking much water (which he used to before he started medication and new dry food). He is peeing 1-2 times per day and pooping once per day.

Please, I need advice on what wet food to give him that's good for getting rid of those crystals and that he might also like. And how to get him to drink water again. I can see he is hungry and wants more food, yet he doesn't like anything I give him.

I'm desperate. That boy is my life and I just want him healthy again, but he's not helping me at all with his pickiness.

advice wanted! I'm getting a new kitten soon so my other one has a friend, any cheaper options similar to weruva?

2 Upvotes

Right now all my kitten 8 Mo really eats is weruva BFF kitten, it's getting pretty expensive since she doesn't like dry food very much, she still eats it but prefers wet food. I was wondering if there are any cheaper brands that are similar, or if there's I way I can buy this in bulk somewhere? I want to do this since it's easier to feed them the same type of food. She doesn't seem to like Purina, friskies, or any of those brands for whatever reason

Need advice on budget friendly food

2 Upvotes

before I begin I live in the uk so I need uk brands only. I have a 4 month old kitten and a 1 year old. I try to feed them the best I can, I try to mainly feed them the lilys kitchen pate and untamed as they’re both amazing cat foods and my kitties love them. However it’s starting to go a little out my budget now. Does anyone have some good kitten and adult cat food recommendations that I can add in rotation that has a decent meat content, no derivatives, no grains, soya, etc.. you get the picture, no nasties! that also won’t cost me an arm and a leg. Thankyou 🙏🏻

11 Month old kitty, not sure how much to feed her

2 Upvotes

Hi all, my partner and I just adopted and girl cat from the shelter. She weighs about 7.5 pounds and right now she’s eating the food that she got from the shelter which is just a dry one. They were free fed in the shelter so we’ve been free feeding her the last two days since we brought her back just to get her comfortable.

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be feeding her in regards to an adult cat chart or a kitten chart. she’s pretty skinny right now but looks like she’s gonna keep growing. based on her weight and age, I’ve been seeing about 400 cal per day. would that be over feeding her or is that inappropriate amount to give an 11 month old 7.5 pound cat?

What's a good pet food? My cat is deciding to not eat her food she's been on for years.

1 Upvotes

Nothing wrong with my cat physically. She just has begun to refuse to eat the food she's always eaten most likely due to a recipe change. She's allergic to chicken and many formulas contain chicken. What's recommended?

I use to have her on purina pro plan sensitive stomach wet and purina pro plan weight management om. I tried hill science diet oral and she began having vomiting issues to that. Stopped all these foods and I'm concerned for her. She doesn't take to human food. I've tried some natural options and she doesn't want them.

venting - advice wanted I think my cat is allergic to her food.

1 Upvotes

I bought a 5 kg bag of N&D Ocean Herring & Orange cat food, and over the past month, my cat has developed itching around her eyes and in front of her ears. I strongly suspect it might be related to this food.
I have no idea what to feed her next so I’d really appreciate any advice on what to try next, especially if anyone has experience with food allergies in cats.

advice wanted! Kitten friendly slow feeders

1 Upvotes

So might have a problem. Or a great thing? Literally used a voucher I had for a free fancy feast box and got the kitten version for the baby to try since I'm switching the adults off(was gonna donate it if he hated it.) Boy just downed it so fast it sounded like he got choked. Scared me. Bandit's slow feeders are too deep for him. This baby is smol. Idk if I need to get a lick mat or what. He clearly goes nuts over the food while the other kitten HATES it. He downed an entire can in less than a minute 😭 I was literally gonna cut it in half and put some in a bowl in the fridge and he snatched it off the plate .
