31MarWhat is your opinion on Royal Canin brand cat and dog food?


I have an 8 yr old, obese British shorthair cat that is sensitive to many catfood brands. He was often constipated and had bright red blood in his stool that smelled awful. The vet(s) told me that he had food allergies and recommended Hills Science diet or Eukanuba wt loss diet. I had him on both diets for quite sometime, both left him severely constipated and produced even more blood. I finally tried Nutro Wt Management diet. He has been on it for over a year with no problems and normal stool, but has only recently began having diarhea that smells putrid. He does not receive any human food of any kind. His vets told me to switch back to Hills science diet, but I am reluctant to as it made him so ill. I am interested in using the Royal Canin brand cat food but I would like to know other people’s experience with it before trying it out. Please help.

05JunWhat is the best mass market brand of cat food?


I live in a remote area of Canada, and the only types of cat food that are available locally are the mass market supermarket brands (Whiskas, Purina, Purina ONE, Iams, etc.). The only available premium type brand is Science Diet. I know that a lot of people recommend the all natural brands like Nutro, Innova, etc, and that in the US, these brands are typically similar in price to Purina ONE or Iams. However, the cost of purchasing these in Canada as well as shipping them to my location makes anything not available locally cost prohibitive.

Of the major brands, which are the best for my cats? Looking at ingredient lists alone, Iams appears to heavily by product and corn meal laden. Purina One appears to be somewhat better than Science Diet. Any suggestions?
