I have fed my cat the canned adult cat formula as well as the hairball formula for over a year along with other foods. Due to the constant recalls with pet food we do not consistently feed the same brand. The last three times he has eaten this brand, he has vomited within 10 minutes of eating. He has not gotten sick with other food, and he is not acting sick. He will not be getting this brand of food again!

Some of you with problems do not understand that other people have the same problems with all different types of cat foods. My son’s cat’s have bladder problems frequently and they were eating wellness. My other son has many cats and they use maxi cat and eagle brand, and they have bladder problems. I use proplan indoor and chicken soup lite and have no problems.

My cat is overweight, and when I asked at the pet store, they highly recommended the Light version. I bought it and fed it to my cat for almost a year. One day, I noticed he was acting rather odd, and I quickly took him to the vet. The vet said that he had bladder stones, and asked what food I was giving him. I told him, and he said to take him off of as soon as possible. He is now on a prescription food for the rest of his little kitty life, as he’s now going to be prone to bladder stones.

I completly agree with you Sue. I have three cats and their stool is ridiculously stinky. At first I wasn’t sure if it was the cat food but now I realize it has to be the food because all my cats stink when they use the litter box. I will also be changing cat foods.

I have been using the Adult formula and even though it has the best ingredients I have found in a cat food, it has caused all 4 of my cats (and several of my sister’s cats) to have loose and VERY STINKY stools because of the protein in the food. I am currently looking into other brands to use instead.

I have been feeding the Adult Formula of Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover’s Soul ever since Iams changed its formula, which used to have chicken as the #1 ingredient and had a 3:2 proportion of protein to fat. I have had no problem with the food. Availability comes through my local feed store and the price is no different that average cat foods. My cats also get wet food as many are old and have few teeth. They all seem well.

According to the FAQ’s on their website, they do not use any chemical preservatives. I read that they used to use ethoxyquin but stopped.

The last I heard, via several articles on-line, they were not using ethoxyquin and touted that their foods only used natural preservatives.

I recently started using Chickensoup Cat food. Cats seem to be fine with it, but then I found out that the maker of this cat food, Diamond Manufacter, uses fish meal that is treated with ethoxyquin. So I am going to stop using their cat/dog foods! When I contacted the company they tried to tell me they ‘Are required’ to use the ethoxyquin. Which is not true. They could use other natural ingredients but they choose to use the cheapest preservative,, so why bother putting in all the other good ingredients. It’s like having a healthy 3 course meal and putting poison on top!!
