FF MEDLEYS CARB QUESTION

[PAMELA ALLEN]

I have a question, my diabetic baby, Max, really turns his nose up to ANY kind of pate...I have spent a fortune trying to find something he will eat! He loves the FF Medleys, the shredded fare collection in BROTH. I calculated carbs on a chart I have and it reads wet matter carbs 4 and dry matter carbs 5. Will someone please double check this and tell me if its right? That would be wonderful!

According to the food chart they range 12-15% carbs.
The ff flaked fish n shrimp 0 carb is not a pate -- mine love it

Really? I thought we were to stay away from fish because of the phosphorus?

ECID --mine don't have a phos issue--
I think for most the "rule of thumb" is 2x a week for fish-
mine are seniors and fussy ---we pick and choose our battles

Carbs in the Medleys are definitely too high. I use them to bring Ani and Lincoln out of a drop.

All of Fancy Feast foods are really high in phosphorus. If you want to avoid phosphorus you need to avoid FF.

Typically we are warned about not feeding fish all of the time because they become addicted to it and won't eat anything else and issues such as mercury levels and thiamine deficiencies can come up. This is a good article about it: http://www.thecatsite.com/a/can-i-feed-my-cat-a-fish-based-or-fish-flavored-diet

How often do you feed yours the fish and shrimp? Mine doesn't have any phos issues either...

Dre gets it just about every day... I usually leave it for his night time food as it is 0 carb. He is 16 and very fussy so he wins
Rico hates it--LOL
these boys!
