Crap! What CAN We Feed Them?

Natural Balance has just announced a recall of its dry cat and dog venison formulas after reports of vomiting and kidney problems. I guess it's a good thing Mollie turned her nose up at that version.

Try Innova. Our cats (and dogs) love it, and it's got no fillers. :)

I just did some reading on it. Where do you get it?

At a pet food store down the street from us called Pet People.

you might have to go eve shmancier and find something with absolutely NO wheat products in it. a lot of the almost-raw foods diets for critters are grain-free.

No kidding. I anticipate that she'll be eating better than I do soon....

Thank you! I feed my babies this, but we use a mix of the regular and low-cal formulas.

Fortunately for me and mhon123, the regular and low-cal aren't affected.
