Cats love it, it makes them stronger, and if your cat doesn't like tinned food, it's even better. It's also nutritional, and a balanced meal... have a look at the website ******************************* http://www.go-cat.co.uk/ ******************************* and the adverts are funny too! lol It's cheap too!

I wouldn't feed my cat anything else (and she refuses to eat anything else). Cats are pure carnivores so they need high protein, low carb diets (as opposed to dogs who are omnivores and need diets similar to humans). Core and Evo are the best dry/canned foods for this. Avoid "Indoor Cat" formulas like the plague, they have high levels of carbs and are terrible for cats. Wellness CORE or Innova EVO… dry (my cat hates canned food).

Male cats are especially prone to blockages from dry food. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process. ( Have a fat cat?) An even bigger problem is that it IS dry and it dehydrates no matter how much your cat drinks Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food. Cats are not naturally big drinkers. 95% of the moisture is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Think about it. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal.

The reality is that there are no "bad" dog foods. Federal regulations won't allow it. This is why we see dog foods on recall lists from time to time. But, there are dog foods that are "better" than others, and everyone will form their own opinions of what is best depending on their own experience. It is also a reality that your dog doesn't need a fillet for dinner every night, it will do just fine on hamburger. But, if you have the desire to pamper your baby and give it the fillet, why not. Just remember that the fillet mignon diet does not make the hamburger diet some how harmful. I won't recommend or condemn any brand simply because I don't know your dog or what you use your dog for, just remember that emotions and prejudices are poor judges of quality.
