Hi. i haven't tried it. My concern would be that it contains too many protein sources and tuna is one of them. Too many cats are allergic to fish and tuna isn't even good for us to eat more than a couple of times a week. JMHO.

 

[rhiannon and shadow (GA)]

luckily, Shadow isn't allergic to anything..... she just won't eat beef... period.... unless it's the roast I cook and I quit giving that to her
after learning not to let her have it since it has garlic and onion in it..... she ate that for 11 plus years though.

And she already gets too much fish..... and hasn't had any problems with it thus far....
she's a lot like a cat that used to be here....Racci who ate nothing but seafood varieties.....


I'm was just hoping someone had found out what the carb and phosphorus were for this new food.....

Shadow pretty much eats mostly 8% carbs which made her numbers go lower than the lower carb foods......
she's one of those cats that needs a little carb in her is what we learned back when she was doing the sugar dance.....

That is interesting about the carbs. I haven't figured out what's best for Max yet. Let us know if you try this food. Thanks.

Sounds like it could be a decent food even though there is fish in all the varieties. I like that they are low phosphorus and carrageenan free too.

We need more info to be able to compare it though, since Dr. Lisa'a list is in Metabolized Energy. We need either the As Fed for everything or at least the DM for fats in order to calculate the ME. Also I noticed on their website that they have 2 different lines of canned foods, Medal and Freestyle. Which are theses numbers for?

These are for the medal series.
