Before starting a new diet, talk to your vet if you have any doubts about your cat’s health and whether or not she can safely go a day where she might refuse the new food.
Cats with cancer, diabetes, thyroid issues, or kidney damage – or very old cats – cannot run the risk of going without food. Your vet will tell you if your cat needs to make that diet switchover very swiftly. The issue isn’t whether your cat can benefit from the better diet, but how to make the transition to the new improved food quickly, without putting strain on her system during the switchover that might entail fasting as a reaction to the new food.

Why should I trust a veterinarian who pushes Hill’s Science Diet which is nothing but garbage? How much do vets know about pet nutrition anyway? I had a cat who died 6 months ago from cancer. I’m convinced that he got it from my having fed him the popular grocery store brands of cat food that’s nationally advertised: Little Friskies, 9 Lives etc. If you all learn how to read pet food labels, you will STAY CLEAR OF THESE so-called FOODS!! By-products of ANY KIND do NOT belong in your pet’s food! I read two books that changed my pet food buying choices. Those two books are Food Pets Die For by Ann Martin and Not Fit for a Dog! by Michael W Fox. These will enlighten you about what you’re really feeding your beloved pet! You’ll also see why vets are pushing Hill’s Science Diet – it will surprise you.
