I have four cats. One doesn't like canned food at all so she only eats dry. I feed them all Purina ONE, although I know there are better (and more expensive) brands out there. 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson ************************************************* http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |

Hi Sue and thanks for the advice! If you read my response to Lauren, you'll
see that I have been buying Walmart brand "Special Kitty". Can you tell me about how much a bag of Purina ONE costs? Thank you!!

Thank you!! I think a seven pound bag costs about seven dollars at Wal-Mart. It could cost more or less where you live. Wal-Mart checks prices at other local stores to be sure their prices are lower. (It's called "comping," if you care!) "Special Kitty" is probably one of the worst brands to buy, IMHO. Same for the "Ol' Roy" Wal-Mart brand of dog food. 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson ************************************************* http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |

I actually buy Ol Roy for my bassett hound (whereas she used to get Purina
Beneful), but money is so tight that we've had to make many changes. We have a family of six, two cats and one dog and are having a hard time just keeping the utilities on which is why I ended up buying the Walmart brands. I realize I shouldn't have taken on the responsibility for two cats, but the lady who was fostering them made me feel guilty for not taking both since they were brothers, so my husband and I adopted both of them even though we were intending to get one kitten. Anyway, they seem to love it and drink plenty of water, but I'm curious if anyone in the group knows why the walmart brand is known as the worst brand to give your pet. Thanks for all of your help it's much appreciated. Christina -- http://www.geocities.com/christinamarie29/ourpage.html "Suzie-Q" wrote in message ...

Wal-Mart's Ol'Roy and others don't use quality ingredients, that's why they are so cheap. But as long as your pets are eating it and if that's all you can afford, then that's all you can do. I'm sure your kitties would rather be in a loving home than in a shelter, right? When your finances improve, then you can start changing their diet. |
