High quality wet good for cat with sensitive stomach?

My cat has a sensitive stomach, and has been fine with eating Innova evo wet food, however, it has been brought to my attention that this particular brand of wet is high in phosphorus which can cause kidney problems….any other suggestions for high quality wet foods?
I have tried raw with him- he threw it up immediately,I tried several different kinds of meat…..he just couldnt stomach it. I will try some california natural this week, thank you!

admin answers:

Merrick, Wellness, Drs. Foster and Smith, Natural Balance all come to mind.

Here is a site with a list of the best canned foods out there.

I highly recommend a raw diet for cats with a sensitive stomach. It’s likely thier stomachs have become sensitive because we are feeding them foods thier bodies were never ment to ingest. I have found that feeding species approprite nutrition consisting of raw meat bones and organs, clears up any digestive tract issues with no futher issues.

Is drinking lots of Chinese Tea everyday good for you?

Asian Chinese drinks lots of Chinese Tea. Is it good to drink a lot? I was told it helps to clean up oily food away from the intestines. Will drinking a lot Chinese Tea may cause kidney problem?

John asks…

Is high protein harmful to dogs?

Just curious. I’ve been feeding my dog natural balance sweet potato and fish. My friend and I had a brief conversation about what we fed our dogs the other day and she mentioned that NB was a little low in protein for her taste and that she preffered Wellness Core and Orijen and other foods with 27% protein to 40%. I asked if it would be hard on their kidneys and she said probably not if they don’t already have a kidney problem. I’m not sure what to think. Advice would be good, I’m a bit confused.

Yes …

How can I make my dog feel better?

=(

He doesn’t like his food, but its a prescription diet from the vet so he has to. We add cheese and turkey or chicken to it and always add chicken broth. I just gave him a good rub and talked to him and stuff, but he is still sad. His nose is cold but dry. My brother came back from college (he loves my brother) and then left about a week and a half ago. I thought he might be sad (my dog) because of that. How can I make him happier?

BACK ROUND INFO:

Age: 8
Breed: Flat-coated retriever
Gender: Male
Other info: When he was a puppy he developed luxating patella (the knee cap moves around and rubs against other bones and tissue) We brought him to a vet who made it worse, then another who worked for only about a year, and another who gave the final verdict “There’s no way of fixing it”, we where given the option of
A. Amputating it
B. Keep it the way it is
We decided we didn’t want to put him through yet anothersurgeryy he had multiple knee surgery, as a young puppy he ate sock (three times).

He also has some kidney problems, but the vet said they got somewhat better, the speical food is for kidneys.

His leg hasn’t affected him much over the years, it has caused him pain sometimes because of althritus. Sometime I forget he is hurt because he still acts like a puppy- chasing us around the yard after a stick.

Anyway, how can I help him feel better and eat his food more?
You dont need to read all of it, its just if you need to get an idea.
Yes, science diet, they vet said to add chicken broth, I know we should add goodies to it- but its the only way to get him to eat it. Lately we have been adding ground turkey and he eats it all.

admin answers:

Are you feeding him Science Diet k/d? If it’s for his kidneys, you really don’t need to be adding anything to it, especially not chicken. Chicken is high in protein and low in fat. Prescription diets for kidney problems are the exact opposite. They are high in fat (to maintain weight) and low in protein. Protein is normally good for you, but it’s harder for kidneys to process. All you’re doing is making his kidneys work even harder.

What worked for my flat-coated retriever when she had this problem was exercise. I took her for a run or played fetch with her for at least 30 minutes every day. Afterward, she was always famished. She would eat anything I put in front of her.

It’s unusual that your dog would dislike k/d or any similar food because of the fat content. Dogs usually like it a lot more than their regular food because the fat makes it smell and taste better to them. You may want to talk to your vet about his behavior.

Maria asks…

Stray cat had kittens at our house?

Ok,this stray cat had kittens at our house (we did not witness this,we found them when they were 6-8 weeks) The Mom had been doing ok,we’ve been feeding them and giving them water (they are in the front yard and eat and drink at the front porch,away from our *neutered* cat,Boots.Thats a good thing because Boots need special food for his kidney problem,and shouldn’t eat normal food.) My family is worried because
1.What if they breed? We can’t catch them to spay/neuter them,they are WAY to fast
2.If we keep them,we would be responsible for vet,extra food,ect
3.We can’t give them away (1 Mom would be pissed 2 we can’t catch them
What do we do?

admin answers:

Search online for a no-kill shelter in your area. Then ask them if you can borrow a trap to catch the mother cat and kittens. It’s a cage that closes once the trigger is stepped on by the food platform inside. They may even come out and trap them for you. Some vets also have traps you can borrow and rental stores often have them as well.

I’m hoping Boots is an indoor cat. If not and he eats out of the same food bowl as this mother cats and her kittens or if they trade saliva or blood in a fight then your cat could end up catching a disease from them such as Feline Leukemia.

Please don’t hesitate in doing something about this. Kittens can sexual mature as early as FOUR MONTHS and start breeding! And the mother cat may already be pregnant again from a tom in your neighbourhood.

Do You Drink Pop Instead of Water? You Could Do Some Major Damage


Drinking clean, pure water the cornerstone of good health. Your body is mostly water, the continuous intake of water is essential for all your bodies functions. It is well known that most of the water sources are contaminated, but there is much confusion about what kind of drinking water is the healthies, and what kind of water treatment at home produces the best drinking water. Today, many people choose soda instead of pure drinking water and the health of an entire culture is in danger.

What you need is pure water-water that is clean, balanced, and healthful, neither too alkaline nor too acidic. Ideally, the pH of your water should be close to 7, which is neutral.
Somewhere between 6 to 8 is likely fine.

And some of the most healthful waters in the world—that emerging from mountain springs—are actually acidic in the range of 6.5. and would absolutely be my preference if it were readily available.

The product also contains the protein rich soy which provides all the essential amino acids that the skin needs in order to be strong and resistant from stretches.

What does result from the TriLastin-SR’s enhanced elasticity effect is the much needed cell regeneration for the revitalization of the skin. This TriLastin-SR Review also notes that the product does not only fight against stretch marks but it keeps them from coming back as well by giving the skin enough protection from any damage the skin might come across later on.

TriLastin-SR also boasts its skin friendly character to anyone who wishes to try it. It is hypoallergenic, which spares anyone who uses the product from the risks of allergies and that it works on all skin types regardless of age, sex, color or whatever factors can be thought of.

Lastly, this TriLastin-SR Review points out that TriLastin-SR is a wonderful alternative surgical procedures that people might want to consider in order to get rid of their stretch marks. This is because it is safe and cheap compared to surgical procedures that might be dangerous to some degree, inconvenient, and costly over all compared to TriLastin-SR.
