Title: Hill's k/d going down well but even Kyle is eating it
Post by: Mark on March 04, 2009, 20:59:22 PM

It has been a big hit here. Willow loves it and Clapton even started wolfing it down. The only thing is even Kylie loves it and I caught her at Clapton's dish eating it. As she eats other stuff too I'm sure it is fine but anyone know for sure? - Please don't say I should keep their food separate/limit feeding times etc as it really isn't practical. Hopefully it won't make Kylie any bigger  :scared:
Little Willow is eating more than usual which s a good thing  :)

I'd be interested to know what the affects of non CRF cats eating renal food too as at present, I feed Monty in a separate room but as he only ever eats a tiny bit at a time that's a bit of a faff!

I asked the vet ages ago about wet CRF food as a woman phoned about a food donation. She said she had 6 cats but one had been diagnosed CRF. She wanted to donate all her regular food and planned to feed all her cats k/d wet (must be loaded!  :evillaugh: ) - I asked the vet and he said it was fine. I am not confident of vets nutrition knowledge tbh.

btw - since the various Hill's dry foods arrived yesterday the cats are munching non-stop. I will have to start weighing it out  :evillaugh:

Yeah Hills is one of the things he's having in between as it's def the lowest phospherous I could find. I know what you mean about the vets knowledge. I was told that Layla's C/D food for FLUTD would be fine for the other cats too but wasn't convinced!

I asked another vet today and she said it is fine. Personally, I think if the healthy cat is eating other food, it is fine - otherwise, I would supplement the healthy cat's diet a bit with something high phos and high protein like hi-life a couple of times a week.
