Yeah, I usually always read the ingredients/label and I actually spent forever reading all the different foods.

I usually try to feed grain free but I thought I’d try something a little cheaper.

Though I did actually get some awesome store brand grain free food too that she seems to love. Opened it to try it. Also got one that’s not grain free but no corn or soy or anything. You got two for like $9. 3 pound bags but still way cheaper than what she’s on now haha



Oh wow that’s scary!! She used to be on Meow Mix a while ago and did horribly on it so I switched her at the same time I switched the dog to better food haha I’ve been feeding grain free since which she’s done well on but there are probably cheaper grain free foods out there haha or she might not even need any. I’ve been trying to avoid corn and stuff but I did buy Purina One Sensitive Skin & Stomach today along with some other brands. I am sure Purina Naturals is fine but even that has a bit too much corn and soy and stuff for me and isn’t that much cheaper, at least at our store, so I decided to try the sensitive stomach since she does kind of puke too sometimes. I was gonna get the senior formula but it had more corn in it. I did also get some store brand grain free food too and she seems to love it.

I got a ton of wet food too and gave her the Purina One Ideal Weight chicken formula tonight to try and she LOVED it but threw up almost immediately after. so guess that’s a no go. Might try the sensitive wet too.



I ended up with the Purina One Sensitive stomach. I looked at the ingredients but still seemed like a bit too much corn for me but it is nice the chicken is more than other brands. I looked at the super cheap ones just because and I can’t believe the carp in there lol all the dyes and stuff.

But I do want to try a cheaper food. I hope she is not allergic to corn or soy or anything

We will see. But have to finish the current food first. Though I did open the new grain free one which she loves. hope she does well on that.

She’s on Wellness CORE original now (she HATED the indoor formula the one time I tried it lol) and she was recently on a raw coated kibble which she loved and we’ve tried Earthborn and a few other in between ones too like Blue or TOTW but I’m realizing it’s stupid as heck to pay $18 or whatever for her food when I could pay $8 or $6 or something haha

So hopefully she does well so I can start saving.

The one can didn’t sit well but hoping the dry will and the other flavors/brands of wet as I got several kinds.

Tractor supply has a good food brand called 4health. That's the one that I feed the little it's called little bites or something like that. My other dogs do Purina smartblend. The cat is on Call of the Wild.

Try not to switch her food too often because it can have pretty bad reactions especially if you don't wean them onto a new food.

Oh and Jack eats the 4health canned cat food and he loves it.

I’ve tried 4health for the dog and he liked it so maybe I will have to try it for the cat. I think I’ve used their cans before but I don’t think I’ve done the dry. Or I might have tried their special extra meat one or whatever aha I’ll have to try it though. Although of course now I won’t be buying food for a while. I got 3 bags of food and she still has a lot of the old bag left haha

Is call of the wild different than taste of the wild or do you mean that one??

Well, I don’t switch it a ton but usually when a bag runs out or she stops eating it I’ll switch but she doesn’t eat a ton so a bag lasts her a very long time.

Also I’ve never really done the weaning thing and she’s never had a problem with it

I’ve tried to a couple times and done like half and half or a bowl of the new next to the old or whatever but she will just dive right into the new food anyway & leave the old food so no point trying hah

Canned I usually get all sorts of different kinds and she eats whatever. I think she liked 4health but not sure.

I think I mean that one it's stupid expensive, but it's the only dry food that Jack doesn't get crazy hairballs all the time with.

I always put half new half old then gradually decrease because my dogs have sensitive stomachs. I did try Nutro ultra for Molly and Jolene but the pieces were still too big they're pathetic

 

[FortCluck]

It's like I've been possessed by the thirst monster tonight. I've pounded almost a gallon since yesterday at 8 pm. I'm just glad it's staying down. I just had my husband fill my 32 oz cup and it's almost empty again. I can't get more water because I am afraid I'll trip over the gate I'll wait for him to wake up again.

I need to drink more water hahah I was so dehydrated earlier cause I spent so long in the store reading labels and had my winter coat and hat on the whole time

I sweat out everything I drink I think. I can't fall back asleep and I don't know why... It's making me angry

I thought so but I was like “is this some new awesome food I haven’t heard of!?!?! ???” and ah that sucks! Although it could be worse. Could be one of the like $60 bags or something do they even make cat food that expensive? Hahah I don’t even know. Cat food is so different than dog food cause the bags are a lot smaller so hard to tell at least for me hah

Honestly Luna’s on Wellness CORE right now but I’m hoping she does well on this less expensive stuff because I’m sick of paying so much

Granted she doesn’t eat very much at all so her food lasts for like forever but still haha

I’d much rather pay like $6-$8 a bag or even $10 than what I am now

I might try the half and half thing. I do usually leave her old food out for a while so she does get a mix of both usually. Tonight she tried the new and liked it then later ate some of her old so she mixes it up on her own

She did throw up the can though.

And OMG food grinder maybe? LOL

Aw I’m sorry! That stinks! I usually don’t really sweat very much except in the summer haha but even then not tons. But I usually pee it out if I drink too fast. unless I’m really dehydrated in which case I’ll just absorb it all and I hope you get back to sleep! I find sometimes the phone keeps me awake cause I wanna keep using it aha

I think I paid $50 for Jack's dry food. He gets half a can of wet food at dinnertime as well. He waits all day for that wet food I couldn't stand a cat that wakes me up to eat wet food in the morning that's why I give him the dry too. My aunt's cats used to pester them until they woke up to feed them. Her cat put his big paws on my face one morning and I told him he was meowing up the wrong tree
