Re: [Felvtalk] gassy cat
If he eats dry food, try slowing him down with a small (not too small) ball. If he has wet food, try smearing it in the bowl so he has to slow down. I would still add probiotics.

Re: [Felvtalk] gassy cat
what is the list for foods? where do you get Evo, Felidae and Blue Buffalo? i haven't seen them in any store0s around here. Harley is helping me again. dorlis Alice Flowers aliceflow...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Hmmm-maybe you're hugging him too tight!! LOL! But seriously, after having the 6 positives, I began researching the food. So many popular brands, Hills included, contain carcinogens. The big baddie is Ethoxyquin-with Lymphoma a common disease of FeLV kitties, I tried to eliminate that from their diet-they are at our mercy, having to eat what we put in front of them. Just do a google search for ethoxyquin in pet food-it is shocking! I am now feeding a combination of Evo, Felidae (certain formulas, the fish meal has Ethoxyquin-so avoid that) and mainly Blue Buffalo. I think all are made with human grade ingredients and contain probiotics-my cats are less farty these days and much shinier. I wish I had known about the ingredients years ago, I lost my last 3 big dogs, 2 Aussies and a mixed breed to cancer. It was horrible to go through. I have subscribed to a site that reviews pet foods and lists all the red flag ingredients and also rates each food. Many animal fats and meat by products can mean stuff from the rendering plants-diseased animals and euthanized pets-containing the euthanasia drugs also. There have been articles on pets having horrible reactions to foods with those chemicals in it. All we can do is try, thank goodness (somedays) for the internet.It does help with research.

Re: [Felvtalk] gassy cat
Ahh-the true test of a mother's love! Root a toot! Just do a search on-line. Type in Evo Cat Food and it will bring up their website to click on. They all have store locators-just usually put in your zip code. I can get the Blue Buffalo brand at Petsmart or Petco along with my local feed dealer-they have a really great pet food dept with a good selection of holistic style foods. Felidae is made by the Canadae people. The others-Evo and Felidae I get at the feed store. The site that lists pet food and the ingredients is Petsumers? Reports- I think-the truth about pet food...It costs something like $17 for a year-but it has both dog and cat foods and treats listed and alerts you on food recalls and important pet news. I now have my dogs on the Blue Buffalo dry food after seeing the brands I had used had bad ingredients and by products and way too much grain and garbage.
