Does anyone know...

[Jill & Jade]

Hi all!! I’ve searched the catfood charts and can’t find CRAVE wet food. I seem to recall that the pate is low carb. Anyone know? Happy Tuesday to all my FDMB friends and their sugar babies. I’m on every day, watching. So sad to see the recent loses. Breaks my heart.

@Rosie & Bailey feeds Crave, but she has realized that every time Bailey gets Crave, she bounces high compared to eating only FF. Rosie thinks it's not LC. You can find Rosie's yesterday's condo and read the discussion about it.

Thanks!! Since Jade is in remission, I’m hesitant on trying anything that may mess with her BG levels.
My civvie gets sick of FF, I think. And I hate the smell of the Sheba pate. Ick. And Friskies has too many warnings out there...

Just looked up catfooddb.com
Is this reliable? Has everything on there.

ProPlan chicken and spinach pate is 2% and beef and carrots pate is 2%. If it helps you. There are a couple of ff medleys primavera that are 2-4%, they are not pate but more like small minced pieces in sauce.

My heart rate still goes up in those few seconds it takes to get a reading every time I test her.

Hi Jill ,I was wondering where you were

Does that cat food web site list the Phosphorus ? Kitties with Kidney problems need low Phos.
I talked to someone on the Crave Web site & she said their cat food is 22% carbs! NOT GOOD!

Wonderful that Jade's BG is so GOOD!

Have a great day

Cancelled it. Not going to chance it. FF will have to do.

Have you looked at Wellness Complete? It's a little pricier, but it's the next step up when you look at the prices on 13 oz cans.

Perhaps it’s the dry food

I’ll investigate...they are horribly picky.

A lot of confusion on the Crave I called & ask about the carbs on the canned food & was told 22% Rosie And Bailey called & was told 7% Then we checked there web site & it said 0% carbs!
We decided to leave that one off the list!

( the 22% was probably for the dry food, the woman I spoke to must have been confused)
