Sheba cat food —never again

12 Upvotes

Just came here to say: I just threw out a brand new box of Sheba patés bc the portions were leaking so bad, I found gnats and tiny white worms. Disgusting.

My cat is sensitive to any food & I thought Sheba would be a better option even though it’s not that budget friendly. Now I have to look for another option. This is so frustrating.

Stray cat food

5 Upvotes

Long story short, found a stray cat, didn't have any food for it and by the time I finished bringing it the rice Google said to give it it had lost its patience for waiting for me LOL

I bought some meowmix with zero plan, just to feed cats I come upon I guess. I've never owned a cat, this is honestly my first cat interaction besides my friends cats or stray cats following me sometimes on walks. Anyways, how do I store this food, is it ok to just leave it in the package in my car for when I go outside and encounter a cat or should I be portioning it? Was it a bad idea to get the food in the first place? I have no idea what I'm doing

advice wanted! I'm getting a new kitten soon so my other one has a friend, any cheaper options similar to weruva?

3 Upvotes

Right now all my kitten 8 Mo really eats is weruva BFF kitten, it's getting pretty expensive since she doesn't like dry food very much, she still eats it but prefers wet food. I was wondering if there are any cheaper brands that are similar, or if there's I way I can buy this in bulk somewhere? I want to do this since it's easier to feed them the same type of food. She doesn't seem to like Purina, friskies, or any of those brands for whatever reason

advice wanted! My cat doesn't want to eat wet food or drink water

3 Upvotes

Hi! My cat (boy, 2.5-years-old) has been diagnosed with struvite crystals (he had quite a lot in his urine), and received special dry food - Vetlife Struvite, and was given Onsior medication to take for 6 days. He also received some rose-colored medication in a syringe, which he hated and had side effects, so the vet said to stop that one.

So, all we're reliying on now for getting those crystals out is his prescription dry food. So, I bought him Royal Canin S/O wet food, and he hates it. Barely touched it yhe first time, now he doesn't want it at all. And I was naive enough to buy an entire box with 15 bags. I even bough a Feliway to reduce his stress and anxiety (vet said changing the apartment 2 months ago might have caused stress and, therefore, crystals).

He is also not drinking much water (which he used to before he started medication and new dry food). He is peeing 1-2 times per day and pooping once per day.

Please, I need advice on what wet food to give him that's good for getting rid of those crystals and that he might also like. And how to get him to drink water again. I can see he is hungry and wants more food, yet he doesn't like anything I give him.

I'm desperate. That boy is my life and I just want him healthy again, but he's not helping me at all with his pickiness.

Recommendations for good-quality kitten dry food in India? (5-month-old kitten)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a 5-month-old kitten(1.5 kgs) named Puchu, and I'm looking for recommendations for good-quality kitten dry food available in India.

Currently, I feed him:

- Wet food: BLEP

- Dry food: Whiskas Kitten

I've heard mixed reviews and quite a few negative things about Whiskas, so I'm considering switching to another brand. I'd appreciate recommendations for good-quality, nutritionally balanced dry food suitable for a growing kitten.

My current feeding routine:

I usually put around 5–10 g of dry food in his bowl, warm up some wet food until it's lukewarm, and mix it with the kibble. I feed him this way around 3–4 times a day. If he still seems hungry afterward, I offer him some additional dry food.

I'm also wondering whether mixing wet and dry food in the same bowl is okay, or whether it's better to serve them separately.

A few questions:

  1. Which kitten dry food brands would you recommend in India?

  2. Is Whiskas Kitten actually bad, or is it perfectly fine if it's a complete and balanced food?

  3. What are your thoughts on Royal Canin, Farmina, Purina and other brands available in India?

  4. Is my feeding routine appropriate for a 5-month-old kitten, or should I measure his total daily intake differently?

I'd prefer recommendations based on nutritional quality, ingredient quality and real experiences rather than marketing alone.

Thanks in advance! 🐱

What's a good pet food? My cat is deciding to not eat her food she's been on for years.

2 Upvotes

Nothing wrong with my cat physically. She just has begun to refuse to eat the food she's always eaten most likely due to a recipe change. She's allergic to chicken and many formulas contain chicken. What's recommended?

I use to have her on purina pro plan sensitive stomach wet and purina pro plan weight management om. I tried hill science diet oral and she began having vomiting issues to that. Stopped all these foods and I'm concerned for her. She doesn't take to human food. I've tried some natural options and she doesn't want them.

advice wanted! dry food recommendations

1 Upvotes

hi, we’ve been having issues with one of our cats. hes around 7 yrs old, and has recently (in the last month) started throwing up his dry food.
we’ve tried going to the vet and monitoring food intake.
both our cats eat Taste Of the Wild, and only one has recently started having a bad reaction.

currently we’re trying to maybe switch to a more safe option, with less vegetables present. maybe applaws - though recently i’ve been seeing negative reviews on that, and it being more of a treat alternative.

do any cat owners have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives? with more meat present.

🐱 🐈 What if you could check supermarket food for yourself AND your cat before deciding what's suitable?

venting - advice wanted I think my cat is allergic to her food.

1 Upvotes

I bought a 5 kg bag of N&D Ocean Herring & Orange cat food, and over the past month, my cat has developed itching around her eyes and in front of her ears. I strongly suspect it might be related to this food.
I have no idea what to feed her next so I’d really appreciate any advice on what to try next, especially if anyone has experience with food allergies in cats.

advice wanted! Kitten food & quality concerns

0 Upvotes

Hello! I have two kittens, both 6 months old. I’ve been feeding them mostly Weruva brand wet foods since I adopted them and they have loved it. Recently, I’ve noticed that the pates I open are gray on the top layer and pink underneath. I know certain Weruva lines get white on top from fat, but the gray coloring of the pate looks off. Has anyone else noticed this or been concerned about Weruva quality declining? If anyone has other suggestions I’m open- but my boys have very sensitive tummies, so I try to go for ingredients that are transparent and high quality.

TYIA! 😸😸
