    Re: Your thoughts on cat food

    Tweets, I can actually help you with this!!!! I actually WORK for a premium pet food company, and I work in a natural pet store. I'm not going to reveal what company, but I can tell you what NOT to get. Whole corn, and chicken by-products are not digestible. Premium food companies do NOT put these in their food. And even higher end food companies completely cut out any grain, such as rice. By-products are the leftovers of the cuts of chicken or meat you and I would eat. If you really want EXACTLY what is in there, go to AAFCO. (you'll even get a picture...eww) But basically, it's the beaks, guts, tails, fur,feathers,...etc - whats left after the good stuff already taken. Also, many grocery brands use too much magnesium, which can promote crystals in the urine. If the first 1-3 ingredients is yellow corn and or by-products of any kind, don't buy it. The first ingredient should be meat. If it's a "meal", that's fine too...it's just the dehydrated meat turned into a powder.(to make into dry kibble) Innova,Evo, Wellness, Nutro Natural Choice, and Blue are all good brands. (I'm not being biased with my own company ) If these brands are a bit pricey for your budget, then perhaps Max Cat or California Natural. Keep in mind two things though: the less food your cat digests, the more food he "wastes" for you to clean in his litter box. Also, the food chioce you make now will greatly effect kitty's health and how much you spend in vet bills for years to come.
    If you want, you can PM me. Hope this helps.
