Royal Canin
There is a new brand on the market which I purchased in my supermarket. It comes in only three flavors. It's called "Promise." Its motto is: "Let byproducts be bygones. " It costs 99 cents for the 5.5 ounce can. My cats are willing to eat it. It sounds good, but I would be hesitant to buy it right now. I checked their website, and it still has rice in it. The whole problem with the recalled foods was rat poison in the grain. I just checked my Fancy Feast can. Yes, it does by-products, but it does NOT have any grain in it. And cats will eat the whole mouse or bird, so they would be getting by-products if they ate an animal. I think I would rather have that than the rice, especially if that rice is coming from another country that does not have the same laws concerning food storage. |

I've never heard anything about rice being implicated. And Promise pet food is not manufactured/produced by Menu Foods. I am not aware that any other company is implicated. Best regards, ---Cindy S.

And Promise pet food is not manufactured/produced by Menu Foods. I am not aware that any other company is implicated. Correct. But the problem was grain being stored with rat poison in china. How do know where each grain is coming from? How do we know where Pet Promise gets their rice from? It is produced by a different company, but it could still be buying cheap grain from overseas. Frankly, I would rather have meat by-products, which a cat would get anyway if they killed and ate their own meat, than deal with any kind of grain from a foreign country that doesn't follow our rules on pesticides and rat poison. Fancy Feast is on the good list as well, so why should I switch from a food that has no grain to one that does? That's just one more risk I would rather not take. It may be safe today, but maybe not tomorrow. |

Royal Canin
Royal Canin is loaded with by-product. I feed my cats Blue Buffalo and they
love it. No corn, wheat or soy, and the meats they use aren't hormone or drug injected. It also has cranberry in it for urinary tract health. My cats love it and I have peace of mind knowing that feeding them that stuff they're on a healthier diet. Their coats look great and they aren't hacking up hairballs all the time. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

So now I am reading that Royal Canin hard food for cats contains too much Vit. D and is also killing cats? And that is what I switched to from canned food. I guess someone was correct - just cook chicken yourself and feel it to the kitties. |

From looking at the Spa Select web site, it appears Blue Buffalo is made by the same company that makes the canned Spa Select that I have been using. In fact, last time I was in Petsmart I recall seeing the Blue Buffalo dry bags mixed in with the Spa Select cans. Believe the full name of Spa Select is Spa Select Blue, same company? I will give the Blue Buffalo a try, especially since the Spa Select canned food is the only can food my cats have ever been able to eat without throwing it up. Tom |
