Mine not on there, thank goodness. I'd be a basket case if something happened to my pups. Love my pups.

My mom would never buy store-brand cat food. Hell, she only buys food that doesn't have by-product in it. Then the ****ers don't eat it.

 

[Football_Bat]

Don't have to worry about kidney failure here. My two cats **** like fire hoses. I go through two gallons of litter a week.

 

[Rosie]

My baby girl's food isn't on the list either, thank goodness. I lost a dog two years ago, I'm not ready to go through that again.

ROSIE'S BACK!!!! :D

ROSIE'S BACK!!!! :D

Thanks IJAG. :)

Mine eats Friskies. I weaned him off moist food once I realized all he was doing was licking the sauce off the food and leaving the actual food. He should be OK.

Forget about the Pet Food Recall. Mom?

I know I have a dirty mind, but don't a lot of those sound like titles from ummm, adult films? :) :)

 

[fishwrapper]

I don't know what you mean...
Giant Companion? ;)

Teehee. Not to mention "Preferred Meats" and "Good N' Meaty"


OK, I'm done :)

Made sure to send this to my sister and mom, who own a dog and two cats, respectively, and shop regularly at the Wal-Mart five minutes from my parents' house.

Fortunately, mine aren't supposed to eat wet food and we always buy them an adult Friskies brand of dry food.

 

[UncleHappyPants]

Just took our kitties to the doctor today.

Even though our cat and dog friends hate going to the vet, please take them! They are OK once they get home. They are back to normal and a little prevention goes a long way.

Thanks for the PSA.
Also, boy and girls, have our little friends spayed and neutered. The pet population has out-grown the owner population. If they're too young to fix, please admonish them when the hump my leg.

Wet food is never a good idea for cats. Very high ash content.

 

[shotglass]

True dat. Milk doesn't sit too well with them, either.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

One of my Himalayans loves shaved turkey. All we have to do is say "Turk" and the little guy goes ape****.

He was big on ice cream at one time, and that definitely did not sit well.

Wet food is never a good idea for cats. Very high ash content.

My vet recommended wet food. He said that the cat's digestive systems are designed to digest protein easier than carbs and that the moist foods are higher in protein than the dry, which are higher in carbs. My cat was a few pounds overweight and the vet recommended switching from dry food to the wet food.

So now my cat is a Fancy Feast cat (the roast turkey and roast chicken varieties only)

If you bought Hank Petchow's Rat Poison ... well ... don't bother checking.
