After Canidae reformulated their cat food formula to contain less rice, most consumers reported favorable results with their cats (both in palatability and overall digestion). Also, with all three formulas containing Cranberries, this provides some benefit for the feline urinary tract. Felidae cat food formulas do not contain corn, soy or wheat (instead containing rice and barley), which has also been a selling point for many pet food owners.

My cats absolutely love Felidae. I fed Iams before all of the problems and quickly found something better when one of my cats got sick. I like this as it is supposed to be for all stages and I have a Sr as well as a 2 year old. However, the 2 year old is very overweight so after researching and realizing the high fat content in this food, I am now getting the platinum formula and mixing it with Wellness indoor formula.Both cats will eat all of the Felidae out of the bowl and only eat the Wellness when they realize I will not give them more. So far, my boy is not losing weight but he’s not gaining any more either. I’m considering making the permanent switch and removing the Felidae but they both seem to enjoy it too much.

Look on their website for store locator. Many feed stores carry this brand. I put out three kinds of food: Science Diet, Wellness, and Filidae. The Felidae disappeared immediately. Then the Science Diet went, and finally the Wellness.
My male Birman has an autoimmune disorder and the vet believes it may have started with a food allergy.

I have a three to four year old male neutered cat. Felidae dry cat food was recommended by the vet when my kitty developed urinary tract issues. These are very dangerous in all cats – but especially male neutered cats. For the last couple of years, my cat ate nothing but Felidae and did very well. As mentioned above, the food can be difficult to find and I could not make it to the local supplier on time to purchase some about four weeks ago. Since my kitty seemed to be doing well, I decided to just finish the other food and we were almost to the bottom of the bag when kitty developed a urinary tract infection. None while on Felidae I might add. Thankfully, kitty will be fine but only with antibiotics and antacids. I will always make sure he has his Felidae from now on. I highly recommend it for all cats but especially if yours fights urinary tract issues.
