Every day, I'm saddened and frustrated with the lack of nutritional education in every cat group, especially regarding behavioral, and urinary crystals and blockages. Common sense is not common and VETS are to blame, especially the ones pushing the HIGH CARB PRESCRIPTION DIETS.
We offer a multi faceted nutritional buffet here with so many mouths to feed, to each their own.
In spite of the criticism I receive for feeding even one ZERO CARB brand of kibble along with wet, raw, and home cooked, in 15 years, I have NEVER had a cat develop crystals, blockages, nor diabetes, avoidable health issues directly caused by CARBS: corn, wheat, soy, gluten, rice, barley, oats, potatoes, peas. tapioca, lentils, chickpeas, and other genetically modified filler ingredients treated with pesticides. And the DIARRHEA and GASTROINTESTINAL issues, are SO OBVIOUS and RESOLVABLE. But NOT with gut destroyer ANTIBIOTICS, especially NOT METRONIDAZOLE!
How pet owners, and VETS, are not paying attention to the BASELINE for all good health, is simply MIND-BOGGLING. And then, to recommend PU SURGERIES as the fix for blockages, rather thsn reducing the inflammation and eliminating inappropriate foods, in particular the 51% carb Hills Science Diet CD, and Royal Canin SO formulas, 26 and 39% respectively. To put things in perspective, amputating a diabetic human's foot will simply NOT resolving type 2 diabetes, rather than addressing the nutrition and lifestyle choices, the cause.
I'm at the point, that I don't respond to adoption applications from all the self- proclaimed #10 most experienced cat owners, who know cats are obligate carnivores, yet feed Puktrina or Royal Canin Persian kibbles, with multiple UTD RABIES VACCINES administered. It's simply not worth wasting my time anymore. This week, a senior Ragdoll I adopted out last year, is now experiencing symptoms of extreme kidney disease, because they did not continue with our zero carb protocol.
These are some great nutritional choices for cats, another affordable wet choice Wholehearted at Petco.
Our adoptions are far and few; it's about an upgrade to the quality of life they have currently here. 🙏
