      Hey! I'm getting a new cat by the end of March/early April from a foster that has been caring for a mother and her kittens. I was looking into Dr. Elsey's, and also noticed through it cat foods being labelled as for "All Life Stages". What's your thought on that kind of food? You think an "All Stages" kind of food would be good for a kitten? I actually contacted them and they confirmed it as an all stages food, but I was curious to hear your thoughts, as far as nutrition and if you think the nutrition you see from them matches up to what a kitten needs.
      I'd really appreciate feedback, either way. :)

    • @drdebbie03
      @drdebbie03 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@kacievines7981 ask them to send you samples. They are awesome about that. I know kittens have unique dietary needs. I guess it depends on how old the kitten is. There's a difference imho between weeks old and months old. Also, I'd imagine, it would be important to keep the diet consistent when your kitty transitions from foster care to you. If the foster care provider has been fostering kittens and cats for awhile, have a conversation about how s/he made decision to use the current kitten food. I have found that those who have been fostering kitties have a lot of experience. And tbh, just because reviews are awesome, doesn't mean it's best for your kitten or cat. Last, talk to your veterinarian about nutritional needs and whether your new kitty is getting what a kitten needs from current diet provided from foster caregiver. These are just things that come to mind for me. As far as Dr Elseys Clear Protein, I wonder if it is too much protein for a kitten. Stick to what
      s/he has been eating for now. Good luck!

I use feline natural (our favorite), kiwi, tiki, petco’s brand wholehearted and a dehydrated raw locally sourced kibble and so far he has only rejected kiwi’s salmon, it looked awful anyway, but I add extra water to all of them!

    Thx for the video Mallory as always!! Very pleased to find out that your top recommendation and runner up (feline natural and ziwi peak) are among the only three brands I used to feed my kitties when they were on canned food!! (the third brand is Instinct canned food for kitten) Totally agree it's super expensive especially given my cats ate them when they were kittens and their intake based on calorie needed is huge😂😂. But I am very glad that due to the fact that I fed them a very high quality canned food when they are babies(any gums/artificial flavors/added tuna/meat-by-product is a huge no for me when picking food for my kitties), they adjusted to raw diet very fast! So I highly recommend getting high quality canner food whenever budget allows. It gives your pet the opportunity to know the true flavors of meat, which is what they live on in the wild and definitely way more biologically appropriate!

I alternate between feeding wet/dry every other day and for the dry, my cat is currently on the Costco brand Kirkland Maintenance Cat, but will switch her to Orijen once she finishes eating the bag of Kirkland. She is a healthy 13-14 year old with a soft, silky, shiny coat. The quality of cat food does make a difference so buy the best that you can afford.

    In canada we have a great company called purebites they makes canned pâtés and freeze dried treats and toppers that can be used to replace kibble. All natural sourced from Thailand farms.

    My family almost always fed our cat Sheba, Fancy Feast, or tuna when I was growing up. I'm looking into getting cats now, and I think I would go with Open Farm, but would probably need another brand I could pick up in stores if I don't get a chance to order Open Farm online. I would go with wet food over kibble for sure.

    I'm from New Zealand and work in a pet store, I love the NZ pet food brands but sadly yes the palatability does miss often. My cat wont eat ziwi or feline natural. I managed to get him on Hills biscuits and give him dine wet food mostly because its the only one he will eat. My guess would be that if you have a new kitten then you would probably be likely to get them onto Ziwi or Feline natural. Or be lucky to not have a picky cat.

      I tried to feed Weruva to my cats and one likes it and the other approaches it warily and looks at it likes it's poop or vomit because that's what it looks like LOL I don't blame her. Plus, I've learned more about nutrition and it's not one of the better ones. Kitties know best!

    Over the past 59 years (I got my first kitten for my 11th birthday and I just turned 70) I have had dozens of cats. In every case we bought whatever they would eat, every single bit was probably crap....Friskies, Cat Chow, Kibbles and Bits, the Walmart cheap stuff, etc. I would just fill a bowl and let them free feed. I don't remember why or when we started feeding them the wet stuff for breakfast. But it was a very rare occasion that any of them had any health problems. They were all active, playful and had soft, shiny coats. We shared whatever meat we were having with no I'll effects. Over the years more and more of the better, healthier foods have come along. But we continued to feed the same stuff they had all had for years. If it wasn't broke, why fix it? The past few years we have had just two so we moved up to Fancy Feast. Which now I've learned is no better. But they like it and they are thriving.

    I think I have watched every video but my cats may not care what is best, they like what they like. I have Persians and with their very flat faces, they just lick up the canned foods. Many of what you are recommended are simply too dry for them. Mine only like Fancy Feast Creamy Delights in Salmon. They will “eat “some of the other flavors but if it is a Creamy Delight shred, the shreds are left behind and the cream part is gone. As far as dry food, they like Royal Canin Savor Selective. I think part of it is that there are different shapes that they are able to grab with their tongues. Corn is the first ingredient which you don’t recommend and I really wouldn’t either, but eating it is more important than not eating anything. They are hold outs if I try to replace with something else - it is amazing how they can “pick” out the Royal Canin and leave the other foods behind. Savor Selective has been almost impossible to find with the supply chain issues, I was able to find some this week and promptly ordered 5 bags to hopefully hold me over until things get sorted out supply chain wise.

Thank you for researching cats are difficult to feed especially if you want to take good care of them I guess when starting off with kittens it should be easier to find a healthy diet prior to them deciding on what they are willing to eat & becoming picky.

  • @amandas8775

    When we adopted our first cat, I knew nothing about cats and from extensive research, decided to feed him Ziwipeak exclusively. Even though it’s suggested to slowly transition cats to a new food, I switched him cold turkey from the awful kibble he was getting at the shelter and he took to it immediately. He was super healthy and thriving on Ziwi for about 4 years and then they changed the formula. It used to be made with broth, and now it’s made with water and my cat won’t eat it anymore. I also had bought several cases trying to keep them interested that were completely dried out and seemed spoiled, which was very disappointing. I wanted to feed our second cat Ziwi, but couldn’t justify the price for food that kept getting wasted. So I scoured ingredients of all the expensive foods at our local pet store and bought Orijen, which cat 1 devours, and now snubs his nose at wet food. But I also now buy Instinct and Kona for cat 2 because I want her to only have wet food, but she loves to try to sneak the Orijen from cat 1 as well. Something about Orijen is very appealing even over the Ziwi dry food, which neither has ever been enthusiastic about. I may try a couple of the canned brands mentioned in the video for cat 1 since ideally I want him to eat wet food exclusively. Thanks for all of the info!

      Hi there. Good question. I've noticed a lot of reports of customer support and fulfilment issues on both our written and video reviews of Smalls, and their site has become very difficult to navigate. At this time, I don't feel that their customer experience as good as it should be and I'm hesitant to recommend them. Nutritionally, though, they could easily earn the #1 spot on this list.

      @All About Cats Oh my God! I appreciate you explaining! Thank you! Your channel/website has been a life saver. I've been feeding my cats Smalls because of your recommendation and my chubby boy has lost so much weight because of it. He also has so much energy! I do agree though, their site is unnecessarily complicated. I'm personally willing to put up with it if its the best thing for them though. But I get the frustration! Thanks again!
