Where do I start Part 2

[Winston]

Hello again

Since I am taking the stand on my dog food being garbage I have decided to make the same effort with my 2 beautiful babies! Tabitha & Bomber.

Yes, they are also on vet prescribed food.Hills CD Prescription Diet..This is due to my male cat having a urinary infection a few years ago...they both only had 1 illness and thats what it was..they told me it would prevent crystals in the male and would not hurt the female to eat it as well...I also feed them a little bit of Hills TD (tarter / dental) once in awhile..it is like a treat for them??

My babies will be 10 years old in April 2007..

Here is the Hills CD Diet

Brewers Rice, chicken by-product meal, corn, gluten meal, pork fat, chicken liver flavor, potassium chloride, choline chloride, calcium carbonate, calcium, sulfate, odized salt, citamin e supplement, vitamins etc etc etc..

crude protein min 30%
crude fat min 13%
crude fiber min 1%
moisture max 10%
ash max 6.5%
calcium min 0.5%
phospherous min 0.4 %
magnesium max 0.08%
taurine min 0.1%

So the question is what do I need to look at with this food?

Pictures aren't appearing for me. :sad:

The Hill's cat food is crap. I feed mine Innova but Felidae is a great choice and a bit cheaper in price. I would feed it but it's not available in my area.

What beautiful cats you have.I feed my kitty Wellness and Soild gold ..I think the corn is bad,cant remember what else.

Brewers Rice, chicken by-product meal, corn, gluten meal

All that is crap.

Felidae or Innova Evo get my vote for cat foods.

i agree with the others... cats are obligate carnivores, they need meat not rice leftovers and meat byproducts, certainly NOT corn or corn byproducts you are basically paying for a bag of industry waste, stuff not fit for human consumption.

look for foods that contain whole human-grade (identified) meat meals, little or no grains, no fillers or byproducts, no corn, soy, wheat, no artificials colors or cancerous preservatives such as BHA and BHT, etc. good luck!
