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.

That's up to you, but as far as I know the grain in question is wheat, not
rice. 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.

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 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.

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.
