Posts Tagged “Canned”

I have a male and female 3 year old cats, and the male is recently recovering from a urinary blockage due to Feline Urinary Syndrome. He has a bladder infection, struvite crystals in his urine, and his urine was very alkaline and concentrated. So far I’ve been feeding him the canned food the vet prescribed, and giving him lots of water, but I do not want this to happen again.

I am trying to find a good quality canned cat food that my cats can eat long term that has urinary tract health benefits.

What are some good one’s that I could buy?

Does anybody know if “blue spa” brand canned cat food is safe for a cat who has had a urinary infection in the past? The dry brand has it’s magnesium content listed and it’s a safe level, but the canned doesn’t indicate it’s magnesium content.
Also, I just learned about a recall around last year for their products. Should I be concerned about this?

I currently alternate between just two: chicken and turkey. Is that enough of a varied diet for them? Or should incorporate a couple more, say, beef and catfish?

Thanks!

She’s about a year and a half old and i’ve always given her a little bit of canned cat food(started out with formula) because i had to bottle feed her when she was a baby. But i had to go away for about 2 months and “grandma and grandpa” (my mom and dad) gave her a whole package about twice a week. I’d never given her that much. Cloey(the cat), has grown rather large and i’m concerned about her health. I’d rather not stop giving her “her treats”, because i only give it to her occasionally and my parents have corrupted and spoiled her.(suprise suprise right?). Choosing heathly can cat food over regular “junk food” cat food and not giving it to her as often may solve her problem, but i have no idea what they have on the market, i.e.) purina, meow mix, ect… Help!

My cats are primarily fed dry food, but are given canned a few times a week. Only seven of my ten cats will eat canned food.
I have two cats, brother and sister, that are about 6-7 years old. The male seems to have a very sensitive stomach and will occasionally vomit up his dry food. The cat has been taken to the vet numerous times regarding this problem, but the vet can never find anything wrong with him. I’ve changed my cats’ food at least four different times – finally since they’re fed higher quality now, the cat’s vomiting has decreased, but he still vomits at least once a week or so. This cat is very slender and skinny, but not malnourished at all. He’s in great health, besides this tiny problem.
Since I started giving my cat canned food of the same brand, the cat rarely ever vomits. It seems that maybe the canned helps his digestive system?
Which is better, canned or dry? Would it be alright to increase the amount of canned food this particular cat gets? Because of his age (6-7 yrs), should I buy him special senior or am I thinking way ahead of those years?
Again, the vet knows about this but I’ve never gotten any advice or any solutions to his tummy upsets… other than discovering that canned food seems to highly decrease the vomiting.
Any help would be nice, thanks.
