Ok cat lovers has your cat tried Purina One Did you notice a difference in health2007-11-25 12:24:46

I put my 8 month old kitten on Purina One. I noticed immediate differences in hair, and eyes and energy. She was bouncing off the walls and her hair was wiry and eyes bright. It must be full of vitamins. Anyone try it? Notice any changes?

Answers:

Ingredient in Purina One: 34% protein, $1.72 per lb. Poultry by-products (that's heads, feet, entrails, feathers of chickens and turkeys), whole grain corn, brewer's rice (that is rice used to make beer which has all the nutrition removed.)

Compare with Natural Balance: 34% protein, $1.66 per lb. Chicken meal, brown rice (which has the nutritious bran), duck, lamb meal.

So the NB has the higher quality protein and more of it, plus the brown rice which is better (less fattening) than corn.

Solid Gold Katzen Flocken: $1.50 per lb. Lamb, chicken meal, millet, brown rice, fish meal.

Eagle Pack (Holistic Select) 32% protein. Duck meal, brown rice, chicken. I don't have a price per lb on that.

Never feed my cat Purina, I feed her Iams and she a beautiful coat and is really lively.

I alternate between Purina and Iams. Any decent quality food will ensure your cats is in good health - just don't buy dry foods with a lot of dust in the bottom and if you buy the canned variety- avoid cheaper brands as they tend to be full of water.

I feed Chicken Soup for the Cat lower's Soul. It is a very high quality kibble with the first 3 ingredients being real meat. Cats are obligate carnivores, they derive all of their nutrition from meat. Corn, grains, rice, as well as all the other additives in most cat foods serve no purpose to the cat's body. Carbs etc. are stored as fat because they cannot be fully processed. That's why most indoor cats are obese: Bad food and lack of exercise.
