The most important ingredient in pet health is food. “You are what you eat” and “Food is the foundation of life” are two of my favorite quotes. Without proper nutrition, health fades.
Join me in discussing what to look for in cat foods, what to avoid in both dog and cat foods, and my recommended list of cat foods that I personally have fed to my kitties and approve of.
Not all pet owners have easy access to high quality food made by caring companies. While it is all well and good to recommend feeding only organic, grass fed, pasture raised, antibiotic and hormone free, non-GMO, locally sourced food, this is just not always possible.
For some pet guardians, financial constraints limit their ability to feed the highest level of nutrition to their pets. For others, product availability may be a limiting factor. Many pet owners are uncomfortable with the idea of handling and feeding raw meats to their pets, while others are unable to feed raw diets due to limitations placed by pet therapy, boarding, veterinary, or training facilities.
However, within these constraints, it is possible to improve the diet of all pets. Pick the best food you can using the criteria I explained. If you can’t feed a 100% fresh food diet, then feeding even a small amount of whole foods, like real meat, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, can bring vast improvement to pet health. By incorporating one or two meals made with whole foods each week or by making a healthy topper to mix with processed food, pet health and longevity can be improved.

My cats won’t eat the high end foods. The only way I can get them to eat it is too mix it with Fancy Feast. Using more of the Fancy Feast. I am hoping to gradually use less and less of the FF and eventually just have the better food.
People should be complaining to the FDA regarding their attitude toward the pet food industry! This needs to change! Too many cats getting cancer and other diseases!
Dr. Judy, PLEASE HELP it took me a long time to find a food my cat did well on. I use canned Feline naturals Lamb Feast. Now his blood tests are showing beginning stages of kidney disease and vet is discussing prescription diets. 🙁 I have never been impressed with prescription diets. I don’t know what to do. 🥲
Recent labs – recheck blood work shows slight improvement of his red blood cell count (now 29.5% with normal being >31%). I do not recommend trialing the darbepoetin until his red blood cell count is 27% or lower so we can continue to monitor this for now.
The other significant change is that his SDMA is persistently elevated with new mild kidney value elevations (BUN is 45 with the upper end of normal being 37 and creatinine is 2.4 with the upper end of normal being 2.3). The elevations are mild but are consistent with chronic kidney disease. We should ideally check a urine sample and his blood pressure to ensure no other changes that need addressing. The main therapy indicated at this time is ideally a transition to a diet specifically formulated for cats with kidney disease
Question : so binder agent came from collagen is it allow ? For example like.. Chicken feet broth, pork bone broth etc. ?
there is no good food for cats or dogs. The compant’s are monsters and killers. Shame on vets that do not advise pet people about terrible food or reasonably better food. Actually tell us that the food is bad. Then advise us of the lesser of two evils. are you aware of any food that cats can eat? oh please please be quiet. you know none of the food is good. YOU did not mention one company that is safe. Why not dont you chech ye products for yourself.
