I recently switched my cat to Premium Edge Adult Cat Healthy Weight Reduction and Control formula. My cat is one who normally eats any and all cat foods (dry) given to her. She has not wanted to eat this food!

When we first switched, she began having very smelly loose stools. She almost completely stopped eating it and is now only eating small amounts (I thought it was maybe a finicky issue), though I am supplementing with small amounts of other foods. She has also now started sneezing frequently with the chicken, vegetable, and fruit formula with no byproducts. I did not think that allergies to it would be an issue. Even with the cheap grocery store brands, she has never shown symptoms like this!

I had wanted to complete the bag of food, even if it meant mixing it with other food. The formula “on paper” and “in theory” is great! But much like Trish, even though her stools are no longer loose (at least not consistently), the stool (and urine?) still smells so bad that I can hardly stand it! No amount of litter deodorizer helps, and air fresheners just can’t seem to handle it either!

I am going to call the company to discuss the issues my cat is having with this product, but don’t think I’m going to continue to feed this to my cat!

I just switched my cats from Purina to Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat: Chicken, Salmon & Vegetable. I heard good things about it from the people at the pet food store.

The only problem I’ve had with it is that it makes their poop smell worse than before. I feel I need a gas mask now if I’m in the same area as it’s in when they use the litter box. Will be switching soon, since I don’t want to die from the horrid smell.

All 3 of my cats poop is horrendous now, where it wasn’t SO bad before.

Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. I too recently switched my cat to Premium Edge Adult Cat Hairball Formula
in an effort to provide her with a healthy more nutritious diet. After she started on the second bag bought in July I noticed scabby sores on her head and neck. Then she stopped eating and drinking and lost weight quickly. She got so sick and weak I thought she was going to die. The vet ran tests and could not find a cause. She did treated her for anorexia and thank God it was in time to save her. It took a while and she actually became overweight for a short period but is now eating appropriate amounts and is doing well. It wasn’t until I received the notice from the pet store about the recall that realized what made her sick. How do we as consumers know what is safe to feed our pets?

The recent recall of Premium Edge Adult Cat Hairball Formula is responsible for the death of my cat! There is a thiamine deficiency in this food and if it is all you feed then your pet is in danger. There was a lot sold sometime around the end of July to sometime in the end of August that was the problem.

Now that I know of their history and connection to Diamond Foods, I am just sick! Here I thought I was making a good choice to help my baby live a long and healthy life. Now she is gone.

They are reimbursing people for vet bills if you have the necessary paper trail. I would rather have my cat back.
