VetUK now stocking Iams :-(

(1/4) > >>

bunglycat:
Knew about Iams a long time ago -never bought it for a good few years now -in fact did a protest about it at a cat show on a couople of occasions and also told the people selling it and the ones buying it about the cruelty involved - hopefully put a few people of buying.

AliCat:
I've just had a good read through http://www.iamscruelty.com/ after seeing this thread. It's terrible that a company who has an image of carring for pets can be so horribly cruel. I certianly won't ever be buying from them.

bunglycat:
I have tried him on all sorts of food inc raw mince, cooked meats, hundreds of different cat foods , fish etc and all he will eat is whiskers supermeat chicken -everything else he just ignores .
I make sure he eats a lot of it though - more so than the biscuits .

I am totally against any animal testing.

You feed them a good quality meat flavour wet food  ;D (fish not so good for bladder cats)

See this post http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,11904.0.html  main jist of things is that once the stones are gone, you maintain a good bladder by a high water turnover, the diets have high salt to make the cats drink more.

If ph is a problem there are supplements available to help.


Gillian had cats with bladder issues, switched them to a mainly raw diet and so far so good. You could PM her for advice as feeding a raw diet is more than just giving meat  ;)

bunglycat:
Oh , never thought to look through other ranges -just what vet advised -  will have a word with the vet and see if i can try him on that - is that available without prescription - in shops ?
Thanks
