Hi everyone!
I need help for my mom. I was talking with her and told her that she should think about changing her cat food. She has been on Science Diet since she got her 6 years ago. By beeing on this forum and owning my lil Georges, i've learn that vet's food arent the best. So now, i need brand suggestion! How's the Orijen for cat? |

Would your mom be interested in feeding her cat wet food? That would really be best, as there is no dry food, not even Orijen, that could be considered "good" for cats. You might want to check out this easy-to-read info about why kibble can actually be quite harmful: http://www.catinfo.org/

I would stay away from any dry food for a cat or just use it as a treat. My favourite canned food is: Nature's Variety, Instinct. It is high meat, low carbs.

What brands/flavours has your mom tried? Perhaps her kitty would prefer a different texture (pate instead of chunky, for instance). Also, if she leaves dry food down all day for her to free-feed, it's not likely that she's going to be hungry enough in the first place to eat an entire meal of wet food. What I would do is pick up the bottomless bowl of dry and only give her 1/4 cup at set meal times. Then experiment with a few different varieties of canned and leave those down for her to nibble at during the day or night. Gradually decrease the amount of dry. Sprinkling the top of the canned with something uber-tasty like the powder from freeze-dried chicken or salmon or crumbling some bonito flakes over it can help to get a cat used to new foods. Parmesan cheese, tuna juice, pulverized dry food, nutritional yeast, powdered liver treats - these are other tricks that can work, depending on the cat's tastes.

I feed my boys two servings of good quality wet food (Innova Flex, Merrick's, Wellness) as well as a bit of Orijen daily.
