Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I feed mostly dry. I've always had numerous cats and dogs, so haven't felt able to feed all wet. Actually, with four, I'm at my lowest number in 29 years. I've only seen Evo at the Pet Supplies Plus store here in Milwaukee for about two months. Solid Gold is sold there, too. I haven't seen the Evo in wet food--not sure if it comes in wet. Where are you? Sounds like your prices are a bit higher than around here. Maybe you could do mail order and save, even with the postage. My cats don't get testy with these foods. The only food I ever had trouble with was Science diet. Even before I knew it wasn't a good food, I stopped feeding it because it made my cats so ravenous that I decided they must put something addicitve into it. Every cat person I've known who feeds Science has problems with ravenous cats. But the diet has been so hyped.... I feed Solid Gold to my dogs. One of my dogs is very prone to gas (yuck) and he's worse when he's on Innova, although I haven't yet tried him on the Evo. I want to put him on that and see if it lessens the smelly problem. Here is the Solid Gold website: http://solidgoldhealth.com/products/ Looks like Innova makes the California Natural, as well as that really expensive (organic) Karma brand: http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=home-tab linda wrote: > I will have to look for the Evo...haven't seen it around here, but > then I also didn't know about it.

From what I have read lately the canned is preferred? linda - especially if your cats have stone issues... my vet wants mine on all canned, no dry, to be sure they keep well hydrated. And apparently there's contention over whether dry actually is better for their teeth or not, so feed 'em what they'll eat... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Do you brush your cats teeth? Wet food leads to more dental problems. Or at least that is my understanding. The dry will help keep the plaque away somewhat. You might ask your vet about his recommendation as far as the teeth part goes.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Since Charlie does have the stone thing always going on with crystals in his urine and now that he is 10 more likely to recur the canned certainly seems more sensible. And since he and his brother tend to be overweight due to age, he is also more susceptible to the stones. My cats had no problem with the build-up on the teeth until I put them on canned though. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Okay, now you made me ROFLMAO! And I fell off my chair. The idea that Sam or Charlie, being 10 and getting a bit testy in their aging process with my total care out look would allow me to brush their teeth.....They never had any problem with their teeth until I switched to the canned. But that was just a year ago and now they will have nothing to do with new ideas or treatments. My vet is a she...I adore her. She said that we would just have to take it a year at a time...she puts them to sleep while they clean their teeth but she is reluctant to do that with these cats and no one, assistants or even her, will do it with them awake. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.
