I've used the Wellness brand for quite awhile now, and my cats like it real well. I don't remember buying any Nulo, but am glad to know about it. Thank you! Another one my cats really like is Instinct.
My cats won't touch Wellness food. Many years ago that is all my kitties would eat, but I'm sure they probably at some point in time changed the recipe and my current cats don't like it. I try to stay away from chicken due to having a cat that was allergic to it, many cats are. There are so many options out there it usually ends up what will the kitties eat. My guy would never eat food stored in the fridge, so for me the small cans are better and even the single serve packs take a lot of the guesswork out of how much I'm feeding them. Thanks for the video.
I just found your channel and I've been searching for wet cat food with low ash content and I ended up choosing wellness complete health and other wellness and Nulo wet foods. I'm not feeding him dry food. He'll get some treats once in awhile and that will be dry. But they don't need dry food drive food is garbage.
Very good video. Both are decent foods. I used to feed Nulo. Unfortunately, they are both high in calcium and phosphorus. I would find a different food, especially after 4 or 5 years old. Weruva makes several recipes that are lower in calcium and phosphorus than many Hill's recipes. The 10 ounce cans are affordable, 40 cents an ounce. My two cats get a mix of Weruva and homemade chicken and ground beef. Happy Feline Friday!
I feed my cat 1 6 ounce can of Feline Natural (chicken or beef) and 1 6 ounce can of Tiki Cat Wild Salmon in salmon consumme. I look at it this way either spend 1500 per year on cat food or spend thousands in vet bills.
Hi! Thank you so much! I'm always learning and appreciate the input! I think these are still great affordable options but I will definitely look into learning more about calcium and phosphorus levels in cat food. I will check out the Weruva recipes! Thanks for the recommendation! ☺️ I do feed Ollie other foods as well but these are just some of the more affordable ones that I have in his feeding rotation.
@@lifewithollie_and_me Snakes and cats are obligate carnivores. You can make your own human grade diets provided you have a nutritionist to oversee, cooking will denature some vitamins and minerals, raw diets need to be picked up after 45 minutes.
I mix wet with kibble 2X/day. Will be looking for these brands. BTW, that’s an odd skinny bowl - I thought cats don’t like anything that makes their whiskers touch the sides of the bowl. Also, your cat has to stick his head in that container to get all the food. I use a wide shallow bowl.
Hi! 🤗 Firstly, thanks so much for checking out our channel! You are totally right that it's best to have a bowl that isn't super deep. Maybe the camera doesn't properly show what the food bowl looks like. It's not a skinny bowl and it's relatively shallow to prevent whisker fatigue. It's also elevated to protect his neck. You are right that a wide shallow bowl is best! The fish bowl we have isn't too deep and our cat Ollie doesn't seem to have issues with his whiskers rubbing on the sides of this bowl so it works for him! He is a larger breed cat so maybe that makes a difference.
My cat samson Was diagnosed with diabetes back in May. And of course, the vet gave us the Science diet for diabetes, and that is loaded with carbs, Which was making things worse, even though I was giving him insulin, we transition to these two brands and one called Tiki cats and he's in remission For the past 3 weeks Thank God for Companies that care about pet owners And content creators like you..
I am so sorry that you've had to go through that! I'm so glad that your cat is doing better now. It's pretty great how high-quality food can make our cats lives so much better! 😺 Ollie loves Tiki Cat too! Great wet food!
I have been looking for the lowest carb dry cat food to supplement with the wet food and can't find one. Only Dr. Elsey's which is too expensive and my cats are not thrilled with it or more expensive freeze dry raw food. Any suggestions? Do you know of a kibble with the lowest carbs? Thank you!
@bonnie.yarbrough The 12.5 oz cans lasts Ollie 3 days where he gets 2 meals of the day that include the wet food. So these cans could last a little longer or less depending on how many meals a day you're feeding it. I also feed Ollie freeze dried foods so I am able to make the wet food last a bit longer since I'm not solely feeding him only the wet food.
It’s a quite difficult to look for those cat food you’re having in your cat, here in UAE. I have a cat like she’s so picky and i have lots of problem in terms of her because if she doesn’t like a wet food. She will never eat it.

It doesnt matter how nutritious a cat food is if the cat doesnt eat it its just a lot of money wasted,my Abyissinan will not touch ANY pate and doesnt eat 90% of the canned cat foods I have tried maybe 10 or 20,the only one she likes is Friskies chicken and lately she turns her nose up on it and only eats her Fromms dry food.
That's true! When transitioning foods, of course, you always want to do so slowly anyway since cats need to be introduced gradually to new foods. You can buy a smaller pack of new food to start if you don't know if your cat will like it or not, that way you don't waste a lot of money. A way to slowly introduce new foods is by mixing it into their current foods to slowly get them used to the new ones. If you mix just a small amount to their current food, the cat will be more likely to eat the new food without realizing it if that makes sense. I hope this helps! Of course, you know your cat the best! These brands also have shredded foods that your cat might like since you mentioned your cat doesn't like pate.
Mean while they eat the contents and usually the entirety of a critter, so yes checking for high quality and no animal byproducts is way up on that goodness scale. Fish is really not a big cat thing but hey, you did state that you are not a nutritionist.
It can take some time to transition if your cat isn't used to eating wet food. You can try to slowy add a little bit of wet food in with your cat's kibble and see if that helps!
Cats do not need grains to be healthy. They are obligate carnivores. Vets work with food brands that use grains in their food so unfortunately many vets recommend those brands even though they aren't the most biologically appropriate food for cats.
@@lifewithollie_and_me I have my Siberians on Tiki After Dark pates and they're not fans of it. I think it has a better species appropriate profile but I am spending a lot of money on it and often throwing some away due to my cats only eating a little of it and leaving it out in the bowl. Which brand your Siberian likes more, Wellness Complete or Nulo? Not sure which one will be more palatable for my cats. What are the carb percentages among the two?
Of course, feeding raw is best but not everyone feels they can do that. There are also many wet canned foods that are full of carbs and ingredients cats don't need and can cause health issues. So there are definitely wet canned cat foods that are much better quality than others! ☺️
@@lifewithollie_and_me anything out of the can the nutrients are dead it has to be heated to a certain degree that kills anything that is a value and it's always processed does it matter how expensive it is there's no such thing as high quality and I don't mean just raw you can cook your cat some food and add all the necessary vitamins
You speak at an interval of a perfect 4th, snd occasionally you get excited and use a perfect 5th. It's a VERY monitonous and robotic voice -- off-putting.

@@lifewithollie_and_me I will try those too. Thanks for mentioning them.

@@edschulhof6303 No I have just known about for a long time.
How long can a can be used safely after opening?
2 days is what I do
I'd say 2-3 days. I store it in the fridge and I have silicone lids that make it super easy to store open cans.
wish it didn't have the "natural flavors", and gums : ( Thank you for the review!

Any kibble isn't great since they all have carbs but we use Instinct and Wellness Core is also decent.

Is Grain Free Good for All Cats ?
Mean while they eat the contents and usually the entirety of a critter, so yes checking for high quality and no animal byproducts is way up on that goodness scale. Fish is really not a big cat thing but hey, you did state that you are not a nutritionist.
Yes! Fish is okay in moderation but shouldn't be a main thing in a cats diet.
i would love to recommendations of affordable dry foods!
Why show nulo food and say nutro. Two different companies / brands.
I said Nulo! I didn't even know there was a brand called Nutro.
@lifewithollie_and_me my error you did say nulo. I'm sorry. The chapter heading at 2:51 said nutro which is me being far too picky, again. 🙏

Grain free is bad for cats. Ask your vet. They will agree.
Cats do not need grains to be healthy. They are obligate carnivores. Vets work with food brands that use grains in their food so unfortunately many vets recommend those brands even though they aren't the most biologically appropriate food for cats.
But there needs to be a slow transition to change to a new cat food. If not, they'll get diarrhea.
Yes! Very important to slowy transition food. ☺️
