Review on IAMS PROACTIVE HEALTH Adult Cat 🐱 Food for Urinary Tract Health, Chicken Recipe by Melissa White

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I used to buy Royal Canin Urinary SO

I have been buying Royal Canin Urinary so dry for ten years now. My 12 year old was blocked when he was 2 and could have died. It was very scary and expensive. Since then they have forced me to buy Royal Canin dry cat food. The price went up and up. I think the last 17 pound bag I bought was almost $70. Crazy. I started comparing ingredients. The "magic" ingredient in urination products is DL-Methionine. It has something to do with keeping the pH of the urine at the right level so cats don't get constipated and crystals don't form. Royal Canin food contains a lot of harmful ingredients and I just read that they have a new so-food formula. In the new formula, DL-Methionine is the 30th ingredient. In the old Royal Canin formula, DL-Methionine was the 19th ingredient. This is not a good change. In this Iams formula, DL-Methionine is the 18th ingredient (if I counted correctly). Iams has some decent ingredients and some crappy ingredients. I figured switching to dry food might be worth a try. Я также кормлю своих кошек влажным кормом в соусе и бульонах, так как я параноик и хочу, чтобы в их рационе было достаточно жидкости, что, я думаю, намного важнее, чем вообще давать им сухой корм, но мы даем сухой корм, потому что That's convenient. Cats love food and my cats can be quite picky and no one gets sick from me changing food. I tried making a gradual transition, but I had very little Royal Canina when I decided to make the switch. Fingers crossed my kittens won't have any problems urinating. If you need dry cat food with urine, I think this is a good choice. Update: Three years later and all is well. I still feed this food and have no problems with urination. If your cat needs a special urine food, ask your vet about it.
