Breeder’s Choice Pinnacle Peak Protein Chicken & Ocean Fish Formula Dry Cat Food
.. according to my cat, of course. I’ve been working with a cat with an enlarged liver from not eating a home cooked diet, and it’s taking a bit of trial and error to find something he will eat in significant quantity – although not too much at once since he’s just starting to kind of recover. I have no doubt that if I let him he would overeat on this dry formula, it’s just that good. I have also tried the canned version of this food before and other cats liked it.
A side note: Be VERY careful with vets that advocate a home cooked, raw or even just a wet/canned food diet. It’s not that they don’t know what they’re talking about or it’s wrong, that’s not the point. The point is you need a REALITY CHECK and communicate well enough to know how well it can be executed by the pets guardian. I’ve been working with a holistic vet here for years and at this point I am not going back for this reason, I have reason to believe perhaps more than one animal I have died prematurely due to general ignorance about what’s on the market. (why they ask you what is being fed when they don’t know what’s in those products, and WON’T CHECK I’ll never know.)
This of course largely extends to ALL vets, guess what – Hills A/D is NOT the final word in this kind of situation! If any of them are reading this please let me be perfectly clear: KNOW WHAT IS ON THE MARKET, maybe even right down the street from you! You’re in the business, you SHOULD know this and there are plenty of good products now. You have NO business saying all commercially prepared food is bad when you are not up on what is out there, even if there is going to be SOME preservatives and such. Besides, that is what most people do – they buy a food rather than cook for their animal!
Yes, IDEALLY, IN A PERFECT WORLD maybe they can be on the best home cooked raw food diet, but especially when they go on a hunger strike like this you need to find whatever they’ll eat! A vet that is off half the week and communicates through their receptionist may be okay if you go in for general maintenance care, but clearly they cannot be relied on when time is a factor and sorry, they’re just not in the office and even when they are if they’re too busy they would have their reception person call, a person that is not medically trained that does not appreciating the import of a cat losing 2 oz of weight a DAY. Don’t buy into the marketing gimmick that the word “holistic” or any other nice imagery makes everything better. I was in the (human) holistic care business in the past and I deeply regret not being more savvy about people who sell themselves under this holistic banner but really are not good practitioners in this regard, even if they have better knowledge in some areas.
