Fancy Feast changes Australia

[Myrtlesmum]

So Fancy Feast Australia have been transitioning to a new “look” and claim same recipe but the ingredient list on the new “look” is quite different (maybe they think people can’t read). Anyway, the Chicken and Giblet Pate which I have been feeding Myrtle has now become Chunky Chicken Feast and looking at Dr Lisa’s food chart gone from 2% carbs to 4% carbs and quite a bit higher in phosphorus. I’ve sent an email to Purina to try to get some clarification, but in the meanwhile I was wondering if anyone knows how much of a difference going from a constant diet of 2% carbs to a diet of 4% carbs could make to her diabetes? I know every cat is different and lower carb is better but finding a new food the suits may be difficult

From. Dr. Lisa’s chart:

“I often see diabetic cat caregivers taking this value far too literally...assuming that 6% vs 9% is statistically significant when it is not........ The carb values noted on this chart are probably higher (overestimating) than they actually are. Even a value of 10% carbs could actually be closer to 0% carbs. Therefore, stick with the directive to stay below 10% carbohydrates but do NOT get caught up in whether a diet says 10%...or 5%....or 0% because these numbers are just not that accurate”
