Aselya,
Interesting thing you mentioned about Wellness. Seems Menu Foods is the maker of Wellness Pet foods. I'd say your kitty was the wisest of all of us.
Susan
i bought him 10/10 Fancy Feast 3 kinds
1) he loves and runs after Flaked Ocean Fish -it looks like chunks of fish
2) he likes Gourmet Chicken and Beef
i guess i will switch to that for now.
and also i think my cat doesnt like refrigirated food, he will eat with appetite when it's first opened, then once more after it was half day in fridge and that's it, he most likely will ignore it the next day, sometimes it helps to put tiny bit of hot tap water, then it brings out smell and flavour and he eats it, but forth time - nothing helps :-(
so for me tall cans are not an option, i guess they are good if you have 3 or more adult cats, to use it all at once, but if you have only 1 young cat - Fancy feast tiny cans seems to be best size.
he also cries less with his new food, cuz once he was refusing long refrigirated food he was also crying.
and why do you mention Menu Foods? is it bad?
Aselya,
Menu Foods was the first company to take responsibility for producing substandard pet food and kicked off the infamous pet food recall which began in March of 2007 and lasted for nearly a year.
Yes, Menu Foods is a bad thing. Menu foods admitted to making poor quality pet foods and couldn't stand behind their labeling promises of healthy, quality pet products.
Susan
Can you rate the Life's Abundance canned versions? Thx!
Michelle
Don't give up on me... I'm working on those reviews for you.
Susan
Michelle,
Seems Life's Abundance has only one canned flavor available. I have your reivew ready for you http://hubpages.com/hub/Instinctive-Choice-Premium
Susan
thx!
Thanks for this list! Can you rate the AvoDerm Natural Kitten and Adult Canned Cat food? I'm especially interested in the chicken one. The have ocean fish as well.
I found a canned food at my regional grocery store (Bi Lo) called PAWS. I would love a review of this in the ocean whitefish or other seafood variety...if you can find it. THANK YOU for all your work!
Jen,
I have not found an ingredient listing. Did you purchase a can of this food? If so, maybe you could help me to review the product.
What I have been able to find out so far is that Paws is a Menu foods item as was recalled during the famous Pet Food Recall of 2007. Paws includes grains and in concentrated amounts or it would not have been recalled. Paws is also a part of at least a couple of Class Actions due to pet illnesses and deaths. Paws was (and may still be) selling products which the company claimed to be a healthy choice in pet foods when the pet food was substandard and not fit for human consumption.
Susan
I do have a label (but not here at work:) I'll list ingredients tomorrow. I do remember it had by-products, but I didn't see any corn/wheat/soy/gluten listed.
Am I correct in reading that while Wellness canned foods are made by Menu, their dry is not? I free feed Wellness dry, and offer raw and ?? canned 2 x day...I would like the best canned I can get for the best price (basically trying to even out the expensive dry and raw with a more moderately priced canned...) but obviously am not going to sacrifice health for money.
Once again, thank you!
Jen,
I don't have the answer for you on where Wellness wet or dry is made. That information changes with the different companies I speak with. Wellness isn't telling. So, I'm not real sure on where Wellness is made.
I feel good about raw but always be on the look out for corn, wheat, soy, brewers anything (beer run trash) by-products (floor sweepings), "meat" (recycled dogs and cats), animal digest (poop), natural flavor (more poop), BHT, BHA, (antifreeze), and animal fat (makes pets eat things they normally would not eat plus who knows where it came from).
Susan
I'm not going to bother listing the Paws ingredients. I don't want to support Menu, so I just won't buy it. :)
I make my own raw, so I know exactly what is in it and how it's proecessed and handled. It's easier than a lot of people think! :)
Jen,
I don't blame you for not wanting to support Menu Foods.
Making your own is easy and fun to do.
Susan
I was curious about Natural Balance Green pea and Duck wet and dry food, I didnt see it on your list, if you need the ingredients I can provide them. We just found out my 10 yr old cat has IBD and was told to give him a limited ingredient food.
Can you review Evolve chicken flavored canned cat food and natural Life chicken and veggie platter canned cat food? Also, can you tell me what Brewers Dried Yeast is? I have a dibetic cat and need to stay away from extra carbs. Is this considered a carb source? I appreciate it! Thanks. Kim
Hi Susan
I would like to know what cat food would be good for my cat Smokey because I give her Purina cat chow complete and it has the things in it that you mentioned.
Jill
Jill,
Look through the reviews to find a pet food rated as close to a 10/10. I do no know what foods are available in your area so it is difficult to suggest a brand. Be sure to read the reviews for further information.
Susan
Hi Susan
My cat was just diagnosed with IBD and I purchased the Green Pean and Duck food by Natural Balance, I do not see that on your list and would like to know the scoring for it, if you need the ingredients let me know, Also would like the scoring for the dogs food which is Purina One Healthy Weight Formula.
Thank you so much
Kelly
Kelly,
If I did not know about the recalls of Natural Balance pet foods and the class action filed against the company for false advertising I would rate this product an 8 or 9/10. Recalls and Class actions takes another two points off so I would have to give Natural Balance a 6 or 7/10 at best. I have several requests for reviews (I'm way behind) in line ahead of you before I can give a full review.
Purina One Healthy Weight Formula 1/10. Very bad stuff!!!!!!!
Susan
Kimberly,
Brewer's dried yeast is something to be very careful about many pet food companies purchase the end of a beer/wine run and use the contents in pet foods. Look for rice, fermentation products, and barley in your pet foods to determine if the source is from a brewery or other maker. Brewer's dried yeast is supposed to aid in digestion. If you are feeding a quality product digestion should not be a problem.
Sorry for the slow reply I've been working on product reviews and have gotten very far behind.
Susan
Susan,
Thank you so much for taking time to reply back, As for the dog food, will be changing the dogs to something better. Finding this site might put a few more years on my babies lives. You are doing a great job with what you do. As for the cat food, will try and find another limited ingredient food, that you have rated highly, I do not think there are many out there, so my choices are limited, But if you know of a highly rated food for my cat with IBD, would appreciate the feed back.
Keep up the good work, you are amazing!
Kelly
Kelly,
Halo and Wellness are okay. You are so right about cat food being crummy but as far as the IBD - once you move to a better quality pet food (minus the toxic grains) the IBD will go away.
I'll keep you posted if I find other quality brands. Hopefully, we will be seeing better foods hit the market as people become aware of what really goes in the recipe.
Thanks,
Susan
Hi Susan, I am living in Dubai and the cat food choices we have here are extremely limited. One petshop has started importing a petfood called Natural Choice, which uses rice product instead of wheat, gluten and maize grits because it says they are well tolerated by cats. Is this true? Will you be doing a review on this product at all in the near future? They have all their ingredient lists available online on their website
Bianca,
I will be doing a full review of the Nutro Pet Foods in the near future. I can tell you that Nutro has a class action filed against the company for false advertising (advertising the product is a healthy choice for pet food) and has issued several recalls in the history of their pet food making. I would be very afraid of Nutro!

Hi Susan,
i was looking for the reviews of the Nature's Variety Instinct cat canned foods and couldn't seem to find them. Would it be possible if you could inform me where they are if they were reviewed and if not give your opinon about them? My cat has had yeast infection problems in her ears for as long as I've had her and the vet told me that it could be the diet. I've recently switched her to canned foods like Tiki cat, Nature's variety instinct, Nature's variety homestyle prarie and wellness (without grain) plus orijen dry after the innova false advertising class action I found on your website. Well, the vet informed me that the cause could possibly be an allergy to food because the meds are not working. He recommended Hills which I refuse to feed her but the pet store lady told me to go down to one kind canned food. We decided on nature's variety instinct canned duck. I just would like to know your opinon or review about this brand. Thanks for your help!
Jo,
Give me a day or two to give to you a quick review then I'll get full reviews for you as soon as I can. I am active in the Class action against these pet food companies so I am tied up in paper work for that project.
Thanks,
Susan
fYI, Kumpi cat is a dry food not a wet. You can also order it online. www.kumpicat.com
thanks, michelle f tulsa, ok
Correction. the website for cats is www.kumpikat.com
I was just skimming through glancing at some of the ingredients of both your canned and dry listings, particularly the higher rated foods. I noticed that many of those that had high ratings had things like the natural flavor, sodium selenite, salt, potatoes, brewer's rice, natural chicken flavor, and fish oils.
Are these ingredients included in low percentages in order to receive such a high rating?
I was also wondering if you could explain the difference between the natural flavor, and natural chicken flavor.
I am also curious as to why the fish oils are bad for our pets.
Kim,
You are right about a difference in score between my older reviews and my more recent reviews. I have 1500 reviews written to this site and others which I have been working on getting updated.
Fish Oil should be a healthy ingredient but the pet food companies are not using fish oil as a good item. Fish oil is being used by pet food companies to encourage pets to eat a product the pet would not normally eat. I make note of the fish oil when a product contains stuff a pet would refuse.
Great questions!
Susan
Michelle,
Thank you for the correction for Kumpi Cat. I have the Kumpi Cat review listed on the correct page now.
Susan
Do you have a separate listing of your newer and up-to-date reviews?
Kimberly,
I do not have the reviews seperated. I hope to have all my reviews updated in the near future.
Susan
Bianca,
I have reviewed a sampling of Nutro Natural Choice Cat Foods. Do you know of another product you would like to see reviewed?
http://hubpages.com/hub/Nutro-Cat-Food-Healthy-Pet
Susan
Two of the Fancy Feast cat foods (Fancy Feast Flaked Fish & Shrimp Feast and Fancy Feast Flaked Ocean Fish Feast) were given a 10/10 in your ratings. I was wondering about an ingredient listed in them called Tricalcium Phosphate. I was told this is an anti-caking agent. is this a safe ingredient? Thanks, Kim
Kim,
You have found a couple more of my older reviews so they don't reflect all I have learned. I do have to admit I do not know much about Tricalcium Phosphate. I know the stuff is an anit-caking agent but I haven't found out anything very scary about Tricalcium Phosphate, so far. I'll keep you advised as I learn more about Tricalcium Phosphate.
Thanks,
Susan
Would you still give those two Fancy feast cat foods a 10/10? I had been feeding Natural Balance Chicken & Liver Paté Formula Ultra Premium food until I read your review of it. I have others telling me that Sodium Selenite is a perfectly acceptable ingredient in low doses but I still didn't like how high up on the ingredient list salt was listed and the recalls and class actions. I have been told the recalls were on one certain flavor, venison. I've been urged to feed the Natural Balance which you gave a 7/10 instead of the Fancy feast that you gave a 10/10. I just want to feed them a good quality food. In your opinion which do you suggest feeding?
Kim,
I've updated the reviews for you.
Susan
Kim,
I would not suggest feeding the Natural Balance due to the fact that Natural Balance is made by American Nutrition, Inc. American Nutrition has a history of recalls including:
Blue Buffalo Canine Caviar Chicken Soup Diamond Pet Foods Harmony Farms Kirkland Signature Mulligan StewSusan
Could you please review the Solid gold line? Merci.
Merci,
I am running behind in my pet food reviews so it will be a while before I can get to a full review of the Solid Gold products. Let me tell you this, for now, I looked at Solid Gold Gourmet Blended Tuna Canned Cat food to discover this cat food doesn't look too bad. I see that water has been added then the mix thickened so you aren't getting a full can of the good stuff but I'm a miser and like to get value for my money. I did not see anything to worry about as far as the ingredients go. A full review coming soon...
Susan

I appreciate your help. Kim
Can you do an updated review on Wellness Chicken Formula Canned Cat Food? I know you are very busy and I hate to keep bothering you. Sorry for my trouble. Thanks! Kim

Kim,
Quick review before I get a chance to write a full review for Felidae Cat and Kitten Formula with Chicken, Turkey, Lamb and Ocean Fish
Alfalfa Meal - cat, not a horse. Used for fertilizer.
Potassium Chloride - used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial execution through lethal injection and used for making fertilizer.
Salt (table salt) - should not be in the diet.
Choline chloride is mass produced and is an important additive in feed especially for chicken where it accelerates growth. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan
Wellness chicken can formula looks pretty up to date. I feel good about the review as it is. I have not done the Pet Food Danger Gauge on the product but at a glance it would score pretty high except for the use of Potassium Chloride - used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial execution through lethal injection and used for making fertilizer.
Same with the turkey flavor canned Wellness.
Susan
ORIJEN CAT Food Acana - looks like your best bet so far.
Thanks so much. I was about to run out of cat food and needed to place my order very soon. You helped me greatly. I will order Wellness cans although I wish it didn't have the Potassium Chloride in it. Is the Orijen Adult and Kitten Formula Dry Cat Food the same thing as Orijen Cat Food Acana? This should be the last time I bother you tonight. Kim
Kim,
I am pretty impressed with the Orijen dry, as well. Many dry cat foods score very low but Orijen has held up pretty well in both the canned and the dry.
Susan
Hello, a friend of mine has been feeding her cats Friskies, Ocean whitefish and tuna canned food. Can you do a review of this food for her? Thanks, Kim
Thank you for the valuable information you've been providing. I've learned so much and appreciate what you're doing so we can better take care of our little ones. I searched your lists and haven't found any info about Trader Joe's brand of canned cat food, specifically their Turkey and Giblets (they also have an Ocean White Fish, Chicken, and a Tuna for Cats). Could you please add this to your list of items to review? Thanks again!
Dear Kurbis,
I am behind in my pet food review requests so it will be a few days before I can conduct a full review of Trader Joe's cat food but I do have this to share with you. Given the information in following email sent by the pet food company I do not feel I will be giving Trader Joe's a positive review.
Dear Suzie, Thank you for contacting us with your concerns regarding Trader Joe’s dog food. According to the FDA, Trader Joe’s pet food products are NOT the same pet foods that are currently being recalled by Menu Foods. However, since safety is of the utmost importance to us, as an extra precaution we have voluntarily pulled all canned pet food items manufactured by Menu Foods from our shelves until we can test the products and be 100 percent sure they are safe for your pets. The products voluntarily pulled are: Dog Food Chunky Chicken 22 oz., Dog Food Lamb & Rice 22 oz., Dog Food Chunky Beef 22 oz, Cat Food Turkey & Giblets, Cat Food Premium Fish/Salmon/Rice and Cat Food Premium Chicken/Turkey/Rice.If for any reason you would like to return Trader Joe’s canned pet food products, please bring it back to any of our stores for a full refund or exchange. Please feel free to contact Trader Joe’s Customer Relations at 626-599-3817 if you have any additional questions." Best,Erin

Hi Susan,
Recently we discovered some odd behavior in one of my cats and some trouble keeping food down in the otther cat. I read your article and decided to give some new foods a try. I was using regular old Cat Chow and I have switched to Purina Naturals, (not much better) but was wanting to try something else as I've not seen much of a change. I see that you're located in Oklahoma. I live in the Oklahoma City Area and have so far been unable to find many of the top rated foods you recommend. Do you have any idea where I can find some of these here in OKC? Thanks so much!
Hello Neighbor!
Hmmm, most of what I have found to be worth a darn for cats is available only on line. Print this list and check your local feed stores and pet supply outlets. I'm not sure how to advise you since most of the food on the market is pretty deadly! We have trouble finding good food in the Muskogee, McAlester, and Tulsa areas, too.
Let me know if there is something you would like for me to take a look at.
Susan
I picked up some of the Wellness Cat Food yesterday. The price made me want to cry, we're going to try it and see. I also found Felidae, it's a bit less expensive so we'll try it next. I noticed that these are both ranked 8 of 10. Is that still not good, or is it good considering it's all we can get our hands on here? I definitely had to stop all feeding of the Cat Chow, after 5 ignorant years of feeding my girls this I suspect it's directly responsible for my Sophie's Hyperesthesia. =( Thanks so much for your help!
Fallon,
I'm behind in getting review requests handled but as soon as I can get to your questions about the Wellness and the Felidae I will rate them using the Pet Food Danger Gauge. I am so glad to hear you have stopped feeding the Cat Chow that stuff killed my mother's cat so it very well might have killed yours. Thank you for your patients!
Susan
Merci,
I've completed the Solid Gold cat food reviews for you.
Thanks,
Susan
Hi Susan,
My cat was recently diagnosed with a tumor (which the vet thinks is malignant) and suggested that I put her on a diet of Hill's Prescription Diet a/d canned food. Is this a decent-quality product? Thanks!
Alice
I forgot to add some information. The vet wants my kitty on the Hill's Prescription Diet a/d to counter her weight loss. Each can has 180kcal (she eats about 1/2 can a day), and the ingredients in the a/d are as follows:Water, Pork Liver, Poultry Liver, Chicken, Corn Flour, Pork Protein Isolate, Fish Oil, Chicken Liver Flavor, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Taurine, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Magnesium Oxide, Ascorbic Acid (source of Vitamin C), Zinc Oxide, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Beta Carotene, Manganous Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Folic Acid.
Alice, Your vet is making sure to pad his/her bank account at your cat's expense. The most likely cause of the tumor is grains in the cat food (your vet knows this) so your vet has now prescribed more killer food. Shame on the pet food producers and your vet!
Quick review for your prescribed cat food ....
Pet food recalls against Hill's.
Class actions filed against Hill's for pet deaths and false advertising.
Corn flour - causes a number of problems (including tumors) leading to early pet death and is simply a cheap filler used by pet food companies to reduce production costs.
Fish Oil - used to encourage your cat to eat ingredients she would normally not eat.
Chicken Liver Flavor - added ingredient which is not natural (causes cancer)
Potassium Chloride - used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial execution through lethal injection and used for making fertilizer.
Choline chloride is mass produced and is an important additive in feed especially for chicken where it accelerates growth. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sodium selenite is mainly used in the manufacture of colorless glass - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Change vets!

Susan,
Thank you for your quick response! I'll switch cat foods right away! Do you have any food suggestions for a sick/underweight kitty? I was thinking of switching her to Artemis or Halo, since you gave them such good reviews.
Also, do you know if Wysong brand cat food makes a complete, healthy diet for cats? Their "Vitality" flavor contains: Chicken, Chicken Liver, Water Sufficient for Processing, Ground Extruded Whole Soybeans, Carrots, Ground Corn, Ground Brown Rice, Whole Egg, Bone Meal, Dicalcium Phosphate, Taurine, DL-Methionine, Yeast Culture, Ground Flax Seeds, Dried Kelp, Dried Wheat Grass Powder, Dried Barley Grass Powder, Natural Extractives of Cloves, Sage, and Rosemary, Garlic, Black Pepper, Artichoke, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Manganese Proteinate, Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Copper Proteinate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Acetate, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement.
Their "Chicken in Stew" flavor contains: Chicken Broth, Chicken, Chicken Liver, Carrots, Animal Plasma, Natural Flavor, Peas, Tricalcium Phosphate, Guar Gum, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Barley Grass Powder, Wheat Grass Powder, Dried Kelp, Inulin, Sodium Carbonate, Iron Proteinate (A Source of Chelated Iron), Zinc Proteinate (A Source of Chelated Zinc), Vitamin E Supplement, Choline Chloride, Cobalt Proteinate (A Source of Chelated Cobalt), Thiamin Mononitrate, Copper Proteinate (A Source of Chelated Copper), Folic Acid, Manganese Proteinate (A Source of Chelated Manganese), Niacin, d-Calcium Panthothenate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Biotin.
(Also, I thought it was unsafe to feed cats anything that contained garlic?) Thank you so much!

Could you please give a quick review of Instinctive Choice cat food when you get a chance? Thank you!!
INGREDIENTS: Organic Chicken, Chicken Liver, Chicken Broth, Turkey, Chicken Meal (Preserved With Mixed Tocopherols), Shrimp, Fish Oil, Ground Agropyron Repens Grass, Calcium Sulfate, Guar Gum, Minerals (Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Cobalt Amino Acid Chelate, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide), Choline Chloride, Sea Salt, Taurine, Vitamins (Vitamin E, A, D3, B12 Supplements, Thiamine Mononitrate, Niacin, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Folic Acid, Biotin), Inulin, Rosemary, L-Carnitine.
Tony,
Instinctive Choice looks pretty good. I found the Agropyron Repens Grass to be interesting since only the root (deep in the ground) is of benefit to dogs but says nothing of cats. Used to ease inflamed kidneys - wonder why they have included it in the pet food? Hmm. I don't like the use of Sodium Selenite and Choline Chloride. The rest looks pretty good to me.
Susan
Ailove,
No corn, wheat, or soy in a cat or dog's diet - It will kill them! Wysong has all three - RUN!
Garlic should not be fed to cats or dogs. My older reviews do not reflect my thoughts on garlic since I was trying to make a simple shopping list for people to use at the store. Now that pet food companies have gotten so sneaky with the pet food ingredients I have taken a stance against garlic.

Hi. Could you post the Newman's Organic canned scores? You do have the dry and it was rather high (8/10).
http://www.newmansownorganics.com/pet/products/ing
Also, what about Hi Tor Neo? It's for cats with kidney disease. Some of us have to watch out for phosphorous content and we can't be as picky when it comes to other ingredients.
CANS: The Hi-Tor Canned Neo Diet for Cats contains NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS. The Hi-Tor Neo Diet for cats has been specially formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for the adult life stages of Cats. Superior quality ingredients derived from animal sources and supplementation provides the cat with the recommended level of taurine. Ingredients: Sufficient Water For Processing, Meat By-Products, Chicken, Animal Liver, Beef, Poultry Fat, Ocean Fish, Rice Flour, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Carrageenan, Potassium Citrate, Brewer’s Dried Yeast, Vitamins (Vitamin E, A, D3, B12 Supplements, Thiamine Mononitrate, Niacin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Folic Acid, Biotin), Minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Proteinate, Manganous Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenite), Choline Chloride, Vegetable Oil, Taurine, Iron Oxide.
Thanks
Don,
Hi To Neo - is going to rate around a 20/30 and rank 66% safe on the Pet Food Danger Gauge. - Poorly made product!
I'll do a Pet Food Danger Gauge Safe ranking on the Newman's for you.
Be patient with me, please. I'm trying to get caught up with requests for writing my reviews.
Thanks,
Susan
Hello Susan,
I am having a very hard time convincing my family member that natural flavors are just another word for manure. Can you help me out by providing links or helpful information reguarding the subject of natural flavors? I love your web site!@
Thanks,
Kelly
Kelly,
Natural Flavors as defined by the FDA With respect to flavors, pet foods often contain "digests," which are materials treated with heat, enzymes and/or acids to form concentrated natural flavors. Only a small amount of a "chicken digest" is needed to produce a "Chicken Flavored Cat Food," even though no actual chicken is added to the food. Stocks or broths are also occasionally added. Whey is often used to add a milk flavor. Often labels will bear a claim of "no artificial flavors." Actually, artificial flavors are rarely used in pet foods. The major exception to that would be artificial smoke or bacon flavors, which are added to some treats. http://www.fda.gov/cvm/petlabel.htm
Animal digest. AAFCO doesn't care that manure is included in the pet food as long as the temperature at the time of cooking is brought to a certain degree.
Now there are those people out there who simply refuse to believe a pet food company would use manure in their pet's foods. Let me ask you to think on this issue for just a minute and then see what you decide. Let's take a person, for instance, When a person begins the "digestion" process food is placed in the mouth for chewing. Digestion continues as the food passes to the stomach and is broken down to pass into the intestines for further digestion. Digestion is complete once the person has had a bowl movement and fully evacuated the food from the human body. Why would obtaining animal digest be any different from human digest?
Thanks, Kelly!
Susan
Thanks so much for answering my question. My sister is totally convinced I am crazy and manure could never be added to cat foods. I will copy your reply and paste it into the email I am about to send to her. I agree, I don't think an animals digest could be any different than a humans. This was very helpful!
Can you also tell me if pet food companies or the ingredients are regulated?
Thanks so much, you have already helped me so much!
Kelly and Christina, my cat
Kelly and Kitty,
There is no regulatory body governing the pet food industry. AAFCO defines the ingredients but does not ensure or enforce any regulations. The pet food companies may do just about anything they wish as long as the material they use is heated to certain degrees and packaged safely.

Thanks for the review, Susan. Interesting that by nature is exactly the same as Brandon Farms which I haven't seen before. At least PetSmart has at least 1 decent cat food available.
Aaron,
Looks to me like since Blue Seal make both Brandon Farms and by Nature Blue Seal changed the label but used the same product. I wonder how they are priced. Hmmm
Susan
Susan, The price at PetSmart is $1.59 per 6oz can.
Aaron,
Thanks!
Susan
Susan,
Thanks for all your efforts and work. I was wondering if you have links/reviews to the raw food plans? Bravo - Nature's Variety - Feline's Pride, etc.
Thx.

I'll get those reviews for you soon.

I am not going to write a review on this one but I thought you might find it interesting. Bravo Basic Formula Raw Frozen Chicken lists skinless chicken frames and necks as their only ingredients.
Chicken Frames??? BONES !!!!
Susan
Michelle,
I can not find an ingredient listing for Feline's Pride. Do you know where I can find this information?
Susan
Kim,
Here is the Fromm review you requsted using the Pet Food Danger Gauge http://hubpages.com/hub/Fromm-Four-Star-Shredded-C
Susan
Yeah - the bones/carcass thing gets me too!
FelinesPride.com is the website for the other. This is a "commercial" raw food highly recommended by Dr. Pierson. Anyone who knows about good cat care knows who she is but am curious about this no the less.
Michelle,
FelinesPride.com shows a lot of information written about the products but does not include an ingredients listing. Hmmm. At least I haven't been able to locate the list.
Susan
THANK YOU for your amazing site and information. Have a question about California Natural (Natura). I noticed it was deleted from your safe foods list because of a class action suit for false advertising, but it is still rated as a 7/10 or 8/10 on the review page. Do you deduct points for questionable info on the ingredients? (eg, if they're being sued for alleged false advertising, how much confidence do you have in their ingredients lists?) I realize you can only get the ingredients from the company... just wondering if you have a "confidence score". Thanks again for all your wonderful work.
Deb, I like the way you think! I don't have a "cofidence score" but I have started using a rating system called "Pet Food Danger Gauge".
The 10 point review was set up as a "shopping list" type review but as the pet food companies became more and more sly about the ingredients they use to produce their brands of pet foods the "shopping list" review wasn't tough enough on the companies.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Pet-Food-Danger-Gauge-How-
I'll work on getting this product rated with the Pet Food Danger Gauge.
Susan
Thanks Susan!

Hi Susan, Thanks so much for all your hard work!! With all this information I don't know what to feed my two cats! Do you know where I can get a few recommended cat food brands? I am a bit overwhelmed.
Thank you.
Cryztal6,
I know selecting a good cat food is a tough task. Look through these and see if this helps. If there is anything you would like for me to take a look at let me know.
Susan
hi susan, i was hoping that perhaps you could review a cat food called Ginger Tom? Its made by a company called butch nz (www.butch.co.nz). I would dearly love to know if it is a healthy option for my fluffy babies!
Biana,
http://hubpages.com/hub/Ginger-Tom-Whole-Fish-Cat-
I have several review requests ahead of yours but I felt this one needed my attention right away. *BUYER BEWARE*
Susan
Susan - I do not see any ratings for IAMS cat foods; I am interested in the Veterinary Formula Intestinal Low-Residue. Our cat has had a chronic intestinal condition which after seeing 3 veterinarians, we still don't know for sure what the problem is. One of the vets mentioned IBD; another said possibly pancreatitis, and the third thought kidney problems. Any idea what canned food would be best for a cat with intestinal problems? One of the vets suggested the IAMS Low-Residue, but I don't know if it may be more of a problem than a help.
Zig,
Sounds like all three of your vets are correct. Did any of the three tell you to be sure that your cat does not get any grains? NO CORN, WHEAT, or SOY. I'll try to get the review written for you tomorrow. I'm running pretty far behind with the review requests but I'll try to push yours to the front.
Susan
Thank you for reviewing this so quickly for me Susan, it is very much appreciated. I really am quite lost with what to feed my little fur-babies, we are really limited for choice where i live (In Dubai we seem to have all the brands that scored reallly low!) It really does worry me what they are putting into their fluffy little bodies
Can you review Premium Edge Kitten. I currently feed my cat Katie who was diagnosed with mammory andocarsonoma the kitten and Fancy Feast canned. I feed my other Gizmo Premium Edge Healthy Weight & Adult till the Healthy Weight runs out then it'll be just the Adult. I thought this was a good quality food. Are there any other brands of food that you would suggest? Price is always a concern, I pay $10.49 for a 6lb bag now. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Susan, my cat recently had surgery to remove calcium oxalate badder stones and is meant to be on a diet to keep his calcium levels normal. The Vet recommended Hill's Prescription Diet c/d multicare w/chicken, canned and dry. I read the rewiew for the other hill's prescrption foods and they were not good. In addition, it's Menu Foods and you've mentioned that can't be good.
Would you please review this food and could you recommend a healthy food to keep his calcium levels normal? Does another brand make something like the C/D version of Hill's only healthier, (if that's the case). I've been reading so many reviews my head is spinning, but I don't see anything specifically made to maintain low calcium levels. Thank you so much for your help.
So....Susan,
Any chance you were able to review Science Diet Prescription C/D canned? or Dry?
Thanks,

How about Meow Mix Wholesome Goodness? My cat's VERY FINICKY and I'm surprised he likes the Chicken & Turkey Entree.
Nice site. I have a question. My cat is 13 years old. My vet does not want him eating any organ meat but he needs to have as much liquid food to avoid forming crystals in his system. We have been giving him a bit of wet food (for flavor) with his meal and adding water. Is there any wet food that doesn't have organs in it? Thanks.
Hi,

Also, while your website is extremely comprehensive and such a lot of help, there is so much information on there! It took me over 2 hours to look at all the products available, and I can't remember which ones are the best! *^^* is it possible to do a top 10 list or something when you find products that you would suggest?
thanks
Hi Susan,
My kitty Sassy and I would like to thank you for these reviews. SO MUCH TO DIGEST HERE! Sometimes my cat throws up a lot and it's the dry food that I found a lot of corn in. I give her wet as well, every day, this new Meow Mix Wellness line is it very good? Again, many thank you's...
SORRY IT'S WHOLESOME GOODNESS MEOW MIX WET FOODS.
Yes, I would also like to know about the Meow Mix Wholesome Goodness. I don't mind spending the extra money for the expensive foods, but both of my Ragdolls seem to love this food! Thanks much
I just wanted to thank you for putting your time into this! I've become obsessed with reading pet food labels because I don't want to give my cat "garbage" for food and risk getting her sick. Your website makes this a lot easier for me. Thanks!! We really do appreciate this.

thank you so much for your work! I am planning t change my 6 month old baby's diet completely to 10/10 food. I will be checking this website regularly to see any changes.
I have questions, when I adopted my cat at 3 month age - the sheltor lady recommended Wellness, so i bought orange cans of "Chicken" and green of "Sardine Shrimp and Crab"
he ate Chicken and refused Sardine completely, and it stinks alot too
then he wasn't eating as much Chicken, so i tried to switch, and bought Blue Spa select "tender turkey" - which he wasnt as happy about, then Science diet - same reaction, he ate but wth no appetite
then i got him Nature's Recipe "Julien Cut Tuna"- and oh my god he's run after me for it, and seemed to enjoy it alot
other food he enjoyed was Fancy Feast but i am not sure which kind, it was long time ago
so I am wondering, what's wrong with Wellness grain free Chicken that he stopped enjoying it? and why he didnt touch Wellness Sardine? is it his personal preference? age? or food is "too organic" and though tasteless?
Thank you again!
