You're right, we should rotate brands more than we do to try to at least spread out the risk. It's frustrating that we have to consider this!Cats Herd Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571176442884334134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-72905258530499851252014-03-24T19:39:13.387-05:002014-03-24T19:39:13.387-05:00I don’t eat much pate which i believe is where mos...I don’t eat much pate which i believe is where most of the deficient food was found although TW thinks I have neurological problems cos she thinks I’m psycho. HAH! The only vitament TW takes is her vitamin D3 cos it’s so essential to staying healthy and it’s in so few foods she eats.

We really really like Ingrid's comment - it's not a bad idea at all to feed a mix of brands, and we personally prefer to serve the ones that are grain free and of a slightly higher quality, too. (of course if we had more than 3 cats, the $ might impact that decision, too...!)A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-29625910006913385772014-03-24T14:46:59.195-05:002014-03-24T14:46:59.195-05:00We wonder why there isn't a feline version of ...We wonder why there isn't a feline version of a human blood panel that checks for various deficiencies?

It's a bit scary to tackle making your own, for the same reason: what if what I make doesn't have enough thiamine, ash, magnesium, taurine...? <br />Still, there's nothing like the quality control you can implement right at home, doing it yourself.A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-13668315348537989902014-03-24T14:44:14.510-05:002014-03-24T14:44:14.510-05:00This is an EXCELLENT point!

We are currently feeding three different brands, and want to experiment with others, not only to ensure they have the best quality food, but also in case for some reason, a finickiness sets in and some day a current brand is on the feline "do not eat" list!<br />A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-76793279072167665932014-03-24T13:22:00.159-05:002014-03-24T13:22:00.159-05:00That is scary, that is for sure.
