I am a pet nutritionist and have been told many different things. Quality is everything. Buy the best that you can afford and read everything. Do your own research and don't rely on anyone else. Oh, and I feed Blue Buffalo Wilderness wet and dry. It is grain free and it works for me. That does not mean that it will work for you since all cats are different.

All they can do is tear. The fangs in front are piercers and the canines on the sides are like scissors. All they can do with kibble is merely shatter it. Most cats swallow it whole. This is why they are synonymous with vomiting. In fact, they are totally incapable of chewing altogether as their jaws do not rotate. -A feline has a naturally low thirst drive. They are designed by nature to get required moisture in their food. Please check with an encyclopedia, or a Zoologist to confirm these facts. Pet food COs and vets are getting rich from all these preventable cat health issues. Veterinarians' ONLY "nutritional" courses are funded-provided by COs such as Hills & Purina, which is why most vets won't tell you this. Do some research. Then I can recommend this site, as there is no reliable food review site for cats yet. catinfo.org is written by a feline expert, but understandably, the DR. can not not review each and every food out there like dogfoodanalysis.com does for dogs.

I have a few questions which maybe you could discuss in future articles. The first is what is better to feed your cat...dry vs. canned. There has been an on-going discussion as to which is better. I feed my 3 cats a combination of both. The second is whether a raw diet is beneficial. There are some who feed their cats a raw diet and swear it is the best thing. The third issue that I have is regarding the glycemic index. Lately, I've been seeing cat foods labeled as being low glycemic. What does this mean, exactly? And is it beneficial to feed your cat a low glycemic diet? Thanks again for an informative article. Thanks for the information.
