I honestly believe that any animal can lose weight if you feed it a small enough amount of food.
- If you are changing over from a free feeding situation - to a measured amount of food per day - Fluffy is gonna drop a few pounds.
The same goes for maintenance - once Fluffy starts eating for its size.
- I wonder if by saying 'advanced weight management nutrition for multi-cat households' -if they are allowing for free feeding?
Some cats, when full just keep mowing down the chow.
Would you rather Fluffy lose weight by being fed fillers? or because she is being fed a biologically appropriate, high quality diet?
Holistic Health?
What does that even mean?
- The pet food industry has no legal term for 'Holistic' .
What is the general definition of Holistic?
- Things studied as a whole, not just as a sum of their parts.
- Holistic Health refers to the whole person. Not just the illness its self.
- Holistic Health refers to the whole person. Not just the illness its self.
I personally consider holistic to mean free of unhealthy chemicals and by products - in regards to pet food.
Apparently, Science Diet and I deffer in our explanations.
If you are going to restrict the calories of you cat, you may want to do a dry and wet mix. Not mixed together, just have both.
Maybe dry in the morning and wet at night.
Maybe dry in the morning and wet at night.
You can find feeding guidelines online. Or just Split the dry and wet amounts in half possibly?
A good dry food, in my opinion would be a high protein grain free like:
Natures Variety - Instinct -Healthy Weight
or
Wellness Core - Grain Free Indoor
Natures Variety - Instinct -Healthy Weight
or
Wellness Core - Grain Free Indoor
A good wet food, in my opinion would also be a high protein grain free food like:
Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Chicken Divan
Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Chicken Divan
or
Natures Variety Instinct Healthy Weight - Chicken or Salmon
You want your fur child to drop some pounds - you do not want other aspects of their lives compromised by limiting the important ingredients.
There are generally not a lot of high quality pet foods that list a weight management or 'diet' version of their food. This is probably for the same reason they are - all life stages -
I was surprised to see a weight management version of Instinct.
I get suspicious when I see things like that.
At the same time - the general population has not caught up to the idea of not needing all of these different special foods.
If Mr Smith really likes Instinct, but needs to get a weight management version because their new adopted fur child is slightly fluffier than normal.
Maybe the place that he adopted Mcflufferson from stated that he needed to be on a weight controlled diet - I get it... the companies are having to conform to our lack of knowledge - for now.
Just remember - you are not helping Fluffy by filling him with crap. Or crap by products.

How it is stated to help-
- Low magnesium to help minimize the build up of this mineral
- High in antioxidants to control cell oxidation and promote a healthy immune system
First off - These issues are basically food related - I blame us.
Due to our lack of knowledge - and the pet food industries fantastic effort to make as much money as possible ...
Dry food was created.
Is dry food bad?
Yes and no.
Having a mix of dry and wet is okay.
Only dry is not as okay.
In regards to dealing with FLUTD or other urinary issues - Dry food bad.
Wet food Good
Our meows - as smart as they may be - do not drink enough water. Even if the bowl is right there in front of them - like right under their noses.
They are in a mild state of dehydration on a constant basis when they are fed only dry food.
That is not healthy in general - and does not aid in a healthy urinary tract.
Secondly - CATS ARE CARNIVORES.
They are not OMNIVORES.
They are absolutely not HERBIVORES.
STOP FORCING FLUFFY TO EAT CORN FLAKES AND RICE CRISPIES
(by that I mean corn and various other grains)
A small amount of veggies are okay - but leave the salads for the Bunnies.
This causes changes in the PH levels - so stop it.
Info on Urinary Tract Health
Some more info
So what should you look for in a food?
Canned - I am only showing wet food because I don't care if Fluffy likes dry - Fluffy likes to eat Tinsel - stop listening to Fluffy.
.
The Phosphorus level is important - you want it low.
That does not seem to be listed in the General Analysis - so you may have to email the company.
Weruva lists its Phosphorus levels
Look for the *As Fed %
This conversation has some good information
As mentioned in the conversation - Wellness Turkey, Beef, and Chicken seem to have lower amounts of Phosphorus - check with the company as to which cans
Start adding wet food to your cats diet now - okay tomorrow, unless feeding your cat at 1 am is normal...
Unless for some reason the vet said not to - then don't.
So what have we learned here today?
CATS ARE CARNIVORES
and you need to stop letting Fluffy pick it's own food - I saw a cat eat paper before.
