      It made my little one sick. She threw up about 4 times in 1 day. Soon as i switched back to other food, she was fine. It was very alarming. I didn’t know what to do with the bag afterwards. It’s now been a month since the incident. Guess I’ll chuck it
      * i did slowly introduce the Rach kibble slowly throughout the week. It was on the 1st day of her having nothing but new kibble that she got sick.

      I just switched to the indoor complete recently thinking it was a great cheaper option, but my cats have had loose stool ever since! Not sure what I should do next, maybe a sensitive stomach formula from a different brand! 😥

      @babygrandma8654 2 роки тому

      I tried this food for my cats and I kid you not 2 of my 3 cats started bleeding from their rectum. The vet told me to immediately stop feeding it to them and to put them back on their old food. Within 1 day they were fine. This is not a coincidence. This food made my cats very sick and they very well could have bled to death had I not been very observant. Sorry I don't remember the flavor I used but it was most likely chicken of some variety since my girl will only eat chicken and my boys will eat just about anything (I think they missed the memo about cats being finicky). The food I went back to is Blue Buffalo Blue weight control in the chicken flavor. They get their kibble mixed with a dab of friskies indoor chunky wet food for extra moisture. I wouldn't give RR food a C grade as far as I'm concerned they get a F-. For the love of God and if you care at all about your fur babies PLEASE PLEASE don't feed it to your babies. The vet bill alone for my 2 boys was $400.

    I used to work for a certain petstore chain... and when I was stocking or doing inventory -- this was the one food I absolutely hated and would never ever recommend. While stocking the food the bags would be covered in oils that would seep through the bag. This went for dog and cat food. It was disgusting. I would not give this to any animal. Id actually feed cat chow or another cheap food over it.

      Same for my cat. She is a picky eater, it was very hard try a dry food that she like. I tried everything, dry food, wet food even human food until I get this one and she only like the chicken flavor. Maybe is not the beat food but is the only one that my cat eat.

    Carageenan is mainly water-based carbohydrates (which means fiber). The study that linked it to cancer-causing agents is unfounded. Correlation does not mean causation. In fact, carageenan and other seaweed extracts are potent immunostimulants in farmed fish. These extracts have shown anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. I know this because I worked first hand on fish diseases and immune health. In food industry, Carageenan is a natural food stabilizer and thickener.
    Nevertheless, a high carbohydrate diet is indeed not good for cats. But carageenan in itself shouldn’t be a reason for concern.

I’ve been giving my cats the chicken and rice dry food for a little over a year now and just now paying attention to the ingredients 😞 I did back then but didn’t bother looking into corn gluten meal and the effects it can potential have on our furry friends. One of my cats has been suffering from really bad skin allergies and I’m convinced now it’s because of the corn meal that’s in the food. Now looking for an alternative to feed both of my senior cats even though it’s only affecting one. Any recommendations is highly appreciated! 🙏🏼🤗

    Thank you for the excellent job sharing about all things cats. I recently discovered this channel on utube, and I have a question about training a kitten not to bite my hands. We got her from the animal shelter when she was three weeks old, bottle fed her and now she is two months old. She’s a healthy indoor kitten, lots of energy, but attacks our hands, feet and legs constantly. We play with her frequently and she has toys. We are a one cat family. Any helpful tips?

    • @imcomingforyou.3245
      @imcomingforyou.3245 2 роки тому

      Anytime she bites hands, give her a toy instead. Similar to teething puppies it’s actually important for them to learn bite inhibition so they know not too bite too hard as they grow up into adult animals. Along with toys when she is teething, I would also give out a “Yelp” or a loud sound to stun or alert her when she’s being too rough:) I’ve raised kittens from 3 weeks old so I understand that she may need to “bite” while she’s teething and to learn bite inhibition since she does not have her mom or siblings to teach her :) best of luck to you and yours & I hope you have a beautiful life with your kitten!

    Hi ??? After watching your channel we chose to feed our 2 kittens (32 wks old), Wellness can kitten food 3oz cans chicken pate. We started with Natures Instinct at 8wks, then they started diarrhea after a couple months so we switched to Wellness kitten with no problems so far. ????My question is, they always want food but we are not sure if they are eating too much or not enough??? The little girl seems like she is getting chunky (plays a lot) and boy seems fine. They eat 3 and a half 3oz cans a day, EACH. They are both fixed. They also chew like puppies on EVERYTHING. They were taught young, scratch on their posts and tree but they do so much damage chewing. Do they chew because they want to crunch something like kibble?

    I got a kitten last year and this is what I chose to feed solely as a dry food because he loves it # 1 and #2 he never got sick on it...any of the kinds and he seems to love them all. I feed him fancy feast as his daily soft food and he's got special flavors he will eat and not others ..nothing with Liver or salmon or trout. .lol. I know this is not the greatest diet by what I'm finding out but I want him to be happy and by him waking me up at 4.30 in the morning every morning to give him some soft food..I think he is. Maybe there's a supplement that can be added to meet the needs the foods he chooses doesn't have?

    Hi Mallory! I have a question. I have two new kittens, about 3 months old. I’ve been feeding them Fancy Feast kitten food as I thought it was a good match based on your review. What is your stance on switching foods up every so often for variety’s sake? I try to get as many different flavors as possible for them and rotate regularly, but I am curious if cats respond poorly to food changes like dogs do? Thanks for your help!

    • @snowpuppies1
      @snowpuppies1 3 роки тому +1

      Kelly - I think honestly this depends on your individual animal. I switch between FF kitten varieties on a daily basis(I have a variety pack that I just dumped into a tub, grabbing whatever can is on top when it’s time to feed), and I switch between a few different dog foods with my pups. I’ve never had trouble with either cats or dogs when I switch. I don’t like to stick with the same protein forever, Since there’s no way to know if that one protein will be nutritionally complete for your animal for ever and ever. That said, I know there are a lot of people who have difficulty with switching food. I suggest you try it out and just see.

    • @AllAboutCatsYT
      @AllAboutCatsYT  3 роки тому

      Hi Kelly, it really depends on your cat and their background. In my experience, cats who start their lives on a varied diet tend to transition well to new foods. On the other hand, those who consume a strict diet of a single recipe for years may have a harder time transitioning to something new. Frequent rotation is a good idea! It helps to prevent your cat from getting hooked on any one thing, could potentially reduce the risk of food sensitivities, and may offer some protection if one food has a quality issue or is recalled.

    Are you able to talk about the Peak line of Nutrish cat food? It’s advertised as being higher in protein and grain free. My cats have been on the indoor advantage kibble and the wet foods for awhile and I’ve just started transitioning them over to Peak (as an easier switch than changing brands entirely) but I’m wondering if I’ll have to change their food all the way. They really like the whole chunks of meat they get in this food!

    • @AllAboutCatsYT
      @AllAboutCatsYT  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Madeline, that's a great question. Here's a quick overview of the Peak line:
      The PEAK line is a smidge better than other Rachael Ray lines. PEAK dry food, like the Woodland recipe you’ve been feeding, appears to have a higher percentage of protein from meat over plants, likely increasing its digestibility. It contains chicken fat instead of vaguely-named poultry fat, which suggests a higher level of quality, and compared to other Nutrish lines, it’s lower in starchy plant ingredients.
      Those improvements aside, PEAK dry food is nevertheless plant-heavy, relatively high-carbohydrate, and moisture-depleted. It would not be my first choice or recommendation.
      Both compared to the dry varieties and their counterparts in other lines, PEAK wet foods are a little lower in carbohydrates, averaging around 7% on a dry matter basis. If they didn’t contain carrageenan, get lukewarm customer reviews, cost around $3 a day, they could rank among the better products on the market.
      Overall, the PEAK line is decent, but not outstanding. It’s similar to Crave or Pure Balance-I’d give it a B- overall.

    Rachel,
    "Our cats insisted we write this comment."
    We love you, and your shows about HUMAN cuisine. We also understand how it works for a celebrity like you to license your nome for food, and other products to other producers - assuming you control the end quality of those products.
    We understand as to pet food it is not like you are busy in your licensee's pet food kitchens inventing & testing 1st hand their products to put your name on them.
    But you have your name on at least one product line that is essentially substandard.
    Namely your Nutrish cat food line. Yes grain free is good, and we assume other Nutrish ingredients have acceptable quality.
    But there is something about your wet food recipes that our cats, and our neighbors cats do not like?
    Maybe it is the texturized protein, or the sauce, or something they just will not eat readily, if at all?
    Whatever may be gourmet to humans is not "gourmet", or even "tasty fast food" to any cats in our neighborhood.
    As to humans you -more than most - know you could prepare an otherwise gourmet meal full of quality ingredients, but if you do not skillfully do so with skilful preparation of those ingredients to achieve a certain epitome standard it fails as a gourmet dish, or even is of no interest to the consumer or offensive.
    Your food skills for humans often achieve this excellence. But not for cats.
    We decided to throw what's left of the better part of 3 boxes of 12 ea. of your Nutrish in the garbage unopened since it mostly winds up there openned anyway.
    We suggest you make your Nutrish licensee perfect its formulas for pets, like you do for humans, or that you license your name elsewhere.

    When such a big name, but making a kibble is very disapointing. Especially cats, what's going on inside their heads ? Cats and kibble not make sense. Once again when choosing food for either cats or dogs, forget the brands, forget the price, just look at the food.
    When it is in kibble form, it belong in trash.
    Don't waste your money and time, when we pay premium and such a big name big company, we deserve something more than a kibble.
    Kibble should never been allow to produce.
    Want a convenient ? Dehydrated ( air dried or freeze dried ), it's as convenient as kibble but proper for our pets. Cooked or Raw much better, want convenient ? there is PRE-MADE Cooked and Raw in the market available to purchase. so no reason to say oh i don't have time to cooked or to prep raw for my dogs and cats. When you pay premium, buying a branded stuff, we deserve premium quality too.
    And kibble is no more than a trash.
