When I compare labels between Friskies canned cat food and the 3.5x more expensive cat store brands, no dif?
I don't see much difference in the labeled ingredients between Friskies canned food and the more expensive brands, except for 3.5x the price at the Pet Stores (and don't tell me you get what you pay for). I've had vets tell me it's the ash content that is a problem if there's too mucn, but has anyone done any rigorous comparisons between the high-priced brands and the cheaper name brands. I've had four cats and they all lived to between 17 and 20 years on Purina brands, both dry and wet, as well as a few treats in between. Kidney failure in old age seems to be the primary cause of death so far as I can tell. Can anyone provide scientific evidence for the best foods?
The kindey failure likely came from a diet consisting of dry foods. Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. It's completely species inappropriate.
All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they don't need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol' house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats.
So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it’s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl.
Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), constipation, bladder stones, kidney stones, urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions.
Overall, wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs… not our cats.
I recommend varying the diet with a constant rotation of 2 to 4 different brands of canned foods that your cat enjoys. If you do this, and allow your cat the same assortment they would have in nature when eating mice, bugs, birds and rabbits, your cat’s digestive system won't be so sensitive and you won't have to run around looking for a specific brand when your store is out. You will have a nice variety to choose from instead.
Canned foods I recommend you consider for your rotation:
