Thread: What dry food do you feed your cats?

I feed all mine various flavours of royal canin, a mixture of fit 32 and dental usually. My coonies get the odd bits of coonie biccie but I have smaller moggies so dont freely feed it. Most people I know with coonies (and that seems to be quite a lot lol) feed royal canin.

To be honest if their food has changed they may adapt over a couple of weeks, it could be they need extra water with it and they will up their intake themselves. I do hate it when they change the recipes!!!!

I hope they are ok. xx

Thanks for your replies. It has to be something to do with the food as they've all been affected and poor Ally the worst. I did speak to the vet about it and asked what she thought about introducing some wet food and she agreed that as long as it was good quality it should help, so we're trying that at the moment and giving them all some seperately so we know they've all had a bit. Will have to do changes a bit at a time or we could end up with the opposite problem. I do occassionally feed them the Royal Canin Maine Coon.

For now the boys have settled on Sanabelle Grande. While not grain free, it seems to agree wth them and they like it. If you read the ingredients list/analysis on JWB and RC (they are the same company, same factory) it's mostly rice or wheat or similar. Not great for cats who are obligate carnivores and normally carbohydtrates and starches just rot on their way through and stink. If you want to try grain gree then go for either Orijen or Applaws - I have tried both b the boys prefer the large kibble of the Sanabelle and the RC MC gives at least two of them the runs. On the other hand, without knowing how long they may have had Giardisis this could change the food profile big time. I am going to test them on Applaws (I have an unopened bag) later in the year.

I've just had a look at the Sanabelle as Jackie had mentioned it. They do a sensitive specifically for long haired cats so think I'll give it a try. If it's a large kibble then that's a bonus as the crunching on the larger kibble helps keep teeth in good condition. Thanks everyone for replying I do appreciate it and so do the boys. I'd better get on with some work now as this isn't getting Carol's cat finished.

Ours also love the Sanabelle Grande, Hills Natures Best and Hills Dental Care - I tried them on Applelaws some while ago and they sort of liked it, but not really keen. Orijen they will eat sometimes, but without a doubt the Sanabelle Grande is their favourite. They also get the runs with RC Maine Coon ... so now they get about 5 kibbles each per week - if that. It's purely to get them interested in what's underneath when they're being picky! I've tried all kinds of wet food (some rather expensive too!) and the only one they will clear their plates with is the Sheba pouches - sadly not the best I know, but at least they are eating it. When they were babies they loved the Schesir Kitten Tuna, but now they turn their noses up at the adult version. Good luck with it all Jo.

All 3 free feed on Hill's ID and have varying amounts of James Wellbeloved Kitten (wet) each day. Once or twice a week they have a Vitakraft Cat Stick Mini. The slightest deviation gives them tummy wobbles. Arnold generally has poo like silverback gorilla fingers but he doesn't drink as much as the other two.

So glad I wasn't eating when I read that but I know what you mean, brilliant description!

Thanks everyone. Off to research Hills now.
