Questions
What is the best food to feed my cat?
Meat. Cats are meat eaters, plain and simple. They have to have protein from meat for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and small amounts of lean deli meats are a great way to give them that.Jan 16, 2022
Is it OK to feed cats dry food only?
"Dry food is fine as long as it is complete and balanced," says Dr. Kallfelz. Dry food may be less expensive than canned cat food and may stay fresher longer. Cats that eat only dry food need to be provided with lots of fresh water, especially if they are prone to developing urinary tract blockages.
How often should cats have dry food?
"From age six months to maturity, most cats will do well when fed two times a day." Once the cat becomes an adult, at about one year, feeding once or twice a day is appropriate in most cases. Senior cats, age seven and above, should maintain the same feeding regimen.

I DO LIKE THE PRODUCT AS WELL AS MY CAT. VET SAID SHE IS OVERWEIGHT AFTER HER FIRST YEAR SO THIS IS WHAT I SWITCHED TO AND AFTER THE SECOND YEAR SHE DID LOSE WEIGHT. THE BAD IS IT WENT FROM $75 TO $129 FOR 17.6 POUNDS. HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER SIGHT TO PAY ONLY $93.03 AND IN THESE TIMES THE $35.97 I SAVE CAN GO TO PAY SOME OTHER ITEMS I NEED.
Customer says:
My cat likes this food. I appreciate that this requires verification from the vet. The first couple of times I bought it, I pad around $32-$34. Went to reorder and the price is now over $64 for the same size bag!!!! Buying elsewhere for $60 and twice the amount of food
Customer says:
I really like this diet food for my kitty. The vet recommended it, and I was so happy to be able to buy it on Amazon. :) The only problem is, it arrived with a size of a quarter hole in it. So I was not happy about that. But no worries, I just put some sturdy tape over it and it's as good as new. :)
Customer says:
My cat, like many, is finicky (refuses to eat dark poultry, refuses to eat the tail of cooked shrimp) so when he was prescribed this food, I expected the worse. After all, he's refused to play with cat toys the 10x cats have loved, but to my delight, he LOVES it. So if it's prescribed, don't despair, you might get lucky too.
Customer says:
It seems that for a while, I was unaware of the fact that my cat was a fatty. However, after having to be away from her for a couple months, it seems she spent all her time with her kitty-sitters eating her feelings and I came back to a cat who was too fat to curl up into a ball while sleeping. I did some research online (where all the geniuses dwell with their opinions) and had read from multiple sites that wet food was the way to go for weight control. However, after buying some expensive canned food, I consulted with the vet, and they said absolutely no to canned food if you want the cat to lose weight. She gave me a sample of this food, kitty liked it, so I ordered a big bag. We are now on bag #2 and kitty looks visibly much better! Slimmer for sure. Has more energy. Tummy no longer so fat that she can't roll up while napping. Not making any pug-like sounds when breathing. All good things! We will keep purchasing!
Customer says:
I have two overweight cats that needed to lose some weight for health reasons. They both love the flavor, and by the end of the second month had each lost 2-3 pounds We are happy with how easily the transition was, no stomach upset. Get this food, it works!
