Title: Trying to find a senior sensitive food for Alice
Post by: Mark on June 27, 2010, 09:47:49 AM: Burns is the only one I can find. I have never had much luck with mine eating Burns or JWB. Anyone know of any others?

"Hypoallergenic – frequently suited to cats with sensitive skin or digestion. Super-premium quality ingredients – the very high digestibility of the recipe means that it may also be safely fed to senior cats."
Wafcol also do a senior hypoallergenic and they offer free samples, unfortunately Noah was less than impressed!

Post by: Mark on July 03, 2010, 11:17:11 AM: I looked at the ingredients and it seems to have a lot of corn in :shify: (2 types) and I googled greaves meal and it says that it is "low grade meat meal".

Anyway, I ordered some RC sensitive thinking she wouldn't eat it as I tried it when I first got her. It arrived yesterday. It looks as if they have changed the recipe. It is now "Blue Whiting & Rice" - I gave it to her last night and she hoovered it up :) - the plate was empty this morning. I gave her a pouch of felix senior this morning which she ignored - then gave her some more RC sensitive and she started eating it :) - there is no telling if she will go off it tomorrow though. :evillaugh:

I tried Arden grange sensitive last year and she wouldn't touch it. None of the cats would go near it. The hedgies ended up eating it. :Crazy:

Ditto the Wafcol :tired: :evillaugh:
