Great for older cats with kidney disease
My 20 year old Maine had a kidney disease diagnosis 5 years ago, but is a picky kitty when it comes to eating. Not interested in prescription food, and too old to get her teeth cleaned again (anesthesia is too dangerous). The vet said many years ago, "as long as she's eating and hydrated, that's the most important thing." Tough with a picky eater, but so far so good. Her teeth are not as good as they were. I have tried all kinds of things. She always loves gravy or broth added to her food. She really likes this though. No wasted food. I looked at all the ingredients, it appears to be very safe. She gets all kinds of foods, but this is her favorite. They're snacks, but it recommends 2 per day, which seems like a lot. Whatever works if your cat has kidney disease. She has gotten sub-cutaneous fluids for years, that definately has kept her going. She also loves salmon from pouches, tuna and chicken in water (people food), and fancy feast creamy broth. There is also a canned wet food and dry food she will eat, but this stuff is pretty cool. I couldn't find it in the store, and the price is fine. I am lucky to have a cat this old, but arthritis has really set in, and at this point, she won't be around much longer. She loves this food, so I am grateful to find a new way to spoil her with a food she likes. I plan to try the chowder too, just for variety. I've had a lot of cats, but none this old. She was a cranky kitten from the humane society, and I grew up taming grumpy cats. I strongly encourage teeth cleaning for your cat if you can, and wet food and dry food. She grew up only with dry food, which was the wisdom then. That thinking appears to have changed. Also, regular vet visits. Keep an eye out for bladder infections, they can be deadly fast. Regular brushing is good. Also, fresh water. A fountain style one is great, or running the sink. She likes ice cubes in her bowl. Arthritis? Cat heating pads and memory foam is great. I really appreciated the other reviews, so I'm writing one. I'm not a vet, but I am grateful for opinions of others.
