Re: Re: OT - Pet food (new cat)

[Guest guest]

We were using frozen raw food but it's expensive. The only reason we were using it is because when we adopted our dog, she was incredibly obese and I needed to cut her calories dramatically so I wanted to make sure every bit of it was nutrition, not filler. Since she's lost all the weight, I recently switched back to kibble and it's completely grain free and potato free (the most common fillers). It's called Nutrisca but I don't know if they make cat food. $10 for a 5lb bag.

Oh, what's her name, and whose cat is she?

Ok, thanks I will look for that. I bought the Newman's stuff (at Publix) and it was 10$ for a 3 lb bag. He did eat it, but just a bit. Then I got out the Fancy Feast appetizers (looks like and is " real " food, only thing it has " bad " is nitrites as last ingredient) The Fancy feast is 1$ a package, so he'll only be getting 1/2 a package a day.

He's a bit on the tubby side., we adopted him for Gabi's birthday coming up so she is saying it is hers. ;-)Cool thing, he looks like our other two previous cats, and was already declawed. So yay, I didn't do the evil deed, but my new couch may survive. ;-)
