advice wanted! Purina making pets sick?

0 Upvotes

I saw in the /rawfoods sub that purina is making a lot of pets sick and paying off people to stay quiet.

I’ve been feeding my kittens purina pro for months. I’m not sure what brands out there that are actually safe. A lot of these brands seem to be vet backed so it’s confusing.

advice wanted! How often and how much would you restock wet canned food to NOT run out

5 Upvotes

Rn I have canned food basically overflowing (friend gave me ALOT) my drawers are full but I do NOT want to run out again with two kittens and the giant cat. How often do y'all with three cats restock wet food to avoid running out(I only feed wet). Idk if I should wait til it's half or stock a little every paycheck to avoid it ever getting to half. I'm always running out when I don't expect it.

advice wanted! Is there a taste/smell difference in Royal Canin health features? (Urinary) and (Urinary + Calm) and (Urinary + Calm + Aging)? Dry or wet.

4 Upvotes

My senior female cat has bladder stones and she has authorization for different Royal canin health features. Urinary, urinary + calm, urinary + calm + aging. This is just so she has more food options to choose from as she’s extremely and dangerously picky, and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars just to figure out which prescription urinary food she will eat.

I ordered a small bag of the urinary + calm dry kibble and she really likes that one. I was thinking I might as well change it to urinary + calm + aging, but I’m worried it might smell or taste different and she won’t like it.

She also likes wet morsels but I got just the urinary version. I’d like to also move that one to the urinary + calm. I don’t think they have that specific flavor in +aging.

She hated the wet loaf flavor. Those I got in U+C+A (there another $80 😔)

Raymond seems to be hungry quite a bit. I give him wet food, dry food, and a delectables once in a while as a treat. But, I'm not sure how often he should eat or if he should be on a schedule?

diabetic safe food

4 Upvotes

Recently my boy cat was diagnosed with diabetes, when he was first diagnosed I immediately switched him over to the diabetic diet my vet recommended. Since I was recently injured at work I’ve had minor financial troubles and couldn’t immediately start him on insulin. Now that he’s on insulin and immediate danger is out of the way I want to get him back on a rotating diet. His vet has recommended a couple different options but unfortunately since my boys diagnoses he’s grown extremely picky.

We’ve tried the Purina Pro Plan DM Veterinary Diet, along with the Royal Canin Glycobalance. He seems to really like the RC dry food, but not the wet food and it’s the complete opposite with the DM diet. The vet was really adamant that my cat didn’t have to just stick with the vet diets, especially if he wasn’t a huge fan over them as long as they stayed in his food rotation. He would much rather him eat something that he liked as long as it was high protein/low carb so when I gave him his insulin he had a full tummy.

Now normally I wouldn’t come to reddit with this problem, I’d just do some research and find a couple different options but along with my boy being just diagnosed with diabetes, my girl cat start having seizures. When she had her first one I rushed her to the emergency vet, we did bloodwork, everything looked fine so they sent me home told me to keep an eye on her. She was fine for a couple days but then had another seizure, thankfully this one didn’t last as long but because she did have another one the vet recommended starting her on phenobarbital. Since she’s started it she hasn’t had another seizure. Now on top of me having to give her a liquid medication every twelve hours, and find a way to do it without traumatising her, I’m trying to find a food both her and her brother can eat without causing issues for the other.

My vet highly recommends keeping them on as similar diets as possible bc their entire lives they’ve eaten the same thing and anything my girl didn’t finish my boy would. Both my vet and I would prefer not to stress them out even further with massive behaviour changes to their lives, that have been allowed for years, on top of the medication.

If anyone has any suggestions I’ll gladly take them!
