Re: Looking for a good canned food

[wendy]

Those companies won't have to worry too much about
making money off this incident.  The law of supply and
demand will automatically up their profits because you
can't buy the other stuff right now, and a lot of
people won't anyway when the products hit the shelves
again.  It's just like the peanut butter scare.  I
still can't buy Peter Pan or Great Value brand, and
Jif can't keep the shelves stocked because their
production lines weren't slated to handle that kind of
demand all of a sudden.  Jif has profited quite nicely
from Con Agra's misfortune, and the other cat/dog food
supply companies will enjoy the same trend for the
time being.

My ex-step-dad's father would spend an hour after every grocery

everything he bought before putting it in his refrigerator or 
pantry: gallons of
milk, blocks of cheese, jars of condiments, canned food, all washed 
with hot soapy
water, if the label fell off, he would use a marker to write the 
contents on the

can... non-washable packaged foods got sprayed with Lysol, etc.

Personally, I think that's a bit off the teeter, but hey, he never got sick.

Re: Looking for a good canned food

doesn't all wheat have gluten? isn't that why people with celiac
disease can't eat products with wheat? (and so what, if the same
equipment was used to process the stuff with rice or something
else. i don't think that rat poison  cares what it clings to.)

Re: Looking for a good canned food

[TenHouseCats]

class and advertising are usually oxymorons--maybe i'm just too jaded,
but i HAVE gotten lots of EMAIL ads for other foods. i think
advertisers will do anything to make money if they think they can.

maybe because big companies keep getting away with it when they
disregard public safety, so don't care as much as they might if the
laws on the books were enforced?

RE: Looking for a good canned food

Any manufactured or processed product -- and even organic spinach -- can land 
on the supermarket shelves with a contaminant of some sort at some point.  It's 
been a week since this all hit.  Friskies and other pet food sellers do have 
info on their websites.  I would not expect them to advertise in a way that 
would be overtly disparaging of competitors -- liability issues -- but I 
wouldn't be surprised to see prices go up soon.

Re: Looking for a good canned food

[elizabeth trent]

Fancy Feast is always a big hit here.  When they are sick they seem to
prefer the ones that are just the regular pate (not minced, grilled, or
marinated - those they just eat the gravy).  Otherwise, the 'Sardines,
Shrimp and Crab in aspic' (orange label) is the hands down favorite.  The
new fancy feast medleys with the garden greens are scarfed up immediately
and promptly regurgitated...the yellow fin tuna being the favorite there.

Mama Kitty is going through an FeVL+ crash and not wanting to eat.  I opened
up a pouch of Chicken of the Sea brand Salmon -- just the plain kind - no
marinade -- she will eat that when she won't eat anything else.

Kitty kisses to Cassie,

I have 10 inside & tastes differ among all. But Wellness Turkey or 
Wellness Chicken is way up on the list. Some will eat the Felidae 
canned.  Most will eat the Friskies Turkey Filets that someone else 
mentioned   And also PetGuard's Fish, Chicken & Liver (that's one 
variety not 3!)

While it may be largely a matter of personal taste, I've had a
couple of very finicky eaters who wanted to subsist on
Friskies turkey prime fillets.  Also, Marie, the ultimate
finicky eater, can tell the difference between Friskies
regular chicken in gravy and the senior formula/special diet
formulation of Friskies chicken in gravy.  She prefers the
senior formula/special diet variety and won't touch the
other.  (Marie is 9 years old.  She has never eaten a single
morsel of dry food in her life.  And I'm sure she never will. 
At this point, if ever I saw her eat dry food, I'd  rush her

to the vet.  She eats strictly Friskies prime filllet
varieties, and senior formula or special diet chicken in gravy.)

Re: Looking for a good canned food

[Nina]

I too have a house full of finicky eaters that won't touch anything 
that's priced above a $1 a can.  It's very frustrating trying to 
convince them that it's good for them and that mommy is sick of 
purchasing expensive canned cat food to feed to the dogs.  They all love 
the Innova Evo dry, and they also like the Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken. 

All this talk about canned food reminded me of a brand that my cats did 
like but I was unable to find nearby with any regularity.  It's called 
Triumph.  I just found an online pet store that offers a ton of 
varieties: http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/
Check the ingredients list though, some seem better than others.  A 
couple of them have onion powder/salt added, and I've always heard that 
was a no no.


Pet food direct also sells the dry I use at a slightly lower price than 
where I'm getting it now, (onlynaturalpet.com).  I'm going to check 
shipping costs and see which is truly cheaper before I order.

Well, with what's been going on with my life things have been  very hectic 
and finances being a strain/stressful. I'm surprised I remember that  too...lmao
 
I haven't replied back to anyone but feel bad for those that  have lost their 
furbabies to this horrible disease and other illnesses. You all  do remain in 
my thoughts and prayers. I do read all emails when possible. Felt  it was 
time to write to the group.
 
This crap with the food recall is out of control especially  when they knew 
about this before it actually hit wire/media. They have  known this for several 
weeks prior. 
It is estimated 1 out of every 6 is affected by these foods  that will die.
No pet deserves this!
God this just pisses me off!
 
I know at times you were there for me when I needed a  friend on my losses of 
my 
fur-angels plus when they were  sick prior.
You are a great bunch of caring and loving  people.
Remember, when I have said when the cure comes I will eat  Cheesecake with 
you that still stands...even though I can't stand the stuff. It  will be a 
victory!
 
Things continue to happen in my household never a dull  moment.

Debbie,
Sorry, I just "read" about the episode w/ the Salmon & Ocean  
Whitefish...Guess I wasn't too much help.
But, since you want Cassie eating something other than "dry only", have you  
tried baby food [meat]?
Always works for me.  Especially when Puma was so sick & just  diagnosed, he 
was a mess. I really believe that's what got him back on  track.. 
(That, and me FINALLY being home!)

My Puma (ancient, ill & w/ kitty alzheimers [EXCEPT when it comes to  food]

Have to "confess", they all hated the good stuff (canned, they ALL eat

Another thing, almost all of them dislike any beef flavor. Even the

Re: Looking for a good canned food

Debbie-
Well I "guess" it really depends on our fur babies.  And believe me, I  have 
a ungiue crew, and that's putting it mildly...
Some will eat just about anything, but I'll focus on my persnickety  
babies...
My Puma (ancient, ill & w/ kitty alzheimers [EXCEPT when it comes to  food] ) 
thrives on Fancy Feast, especially the "new" kind. ($$$'s, but he's  worth 
it..).  He also LOVES Friskies Tuna & Egg.  Only thing  is, I really have 
to 
smush it for the old boy He likes his food really,  really wet.  He also 
loves Friskies "Mixed Grill".  And,  Ocean  Whitefish, Turkey & Giblets,

My kids eat the felidae canned just fine.  But I have heard other people say
their cats do not.  I think it is a process of trying different things until
y ou find one they like.

Mine hear a can - any can - opening and they go nuts!

Thanks again Susan. By the way - do you mind if I ask where you are from?

While it may be largely a matter of personal taste, I've had a couple of
very finicky eaters who wanted to subsist on Friskies turkey prime fillets.
Also, Marie, the ultimate finicky eater, can tell the difference between
Friskies regular chicken in gravy and the senior formula/special diet
formulation of Friskies chicken in gravy.  She prefers the senior
formula/special diet variety and won't touch the other.  (Marie is 9 years
old.  She has never eaten a single morsel of dry food in her life.  And I'm
sure she never will.  At this point, if ever I saw her eat dry food, I'd
rush her to the vet.  She eats strictly Friskies prime filllet varieties,
and senior formula or special diet chicken in gravy.)

Re: Looking for a good canned food

I have a dry food addict who became ill a couple of
months ago with a severe liver infection and lost a
lot of weight.  I tried to get Boo to eat everything,
but he had absolutely no interest in any food (except
meat baby food) until I tried the new Fancy Feast
elegant medleys.  He just gobbles the entire 3 oz.
down immediately.  It's really expensive - about twice
as much as the regular Fancy Feast cans, but worth it
if you need your kitty to eat.
