I'm checking out other foods on Dr. Pierson's food list. I've just tried Fancy Feast because I was told that was low in carbs and cheap. Now that she's tiring of some of the Fancy Feast flavors, I'm trying to find some other's. I'm looking at the list and I see a Calorie % listing and a Dry Matter % Listing. Which one do you go by, or do you add those two columns together to get your carb number? I want to make sure that I'm reading it correctly before I go and just give a new food to her. I've read the list from top to bottom and it doesn't say anything about how to read the list. I'm trying to stay with 6 and under of carbs for Lucky.

Thanks!
 
I'm trying to stay 6% and under. I've been looking at the dry matter carbs thinking that's what you needed to go by. I picked up some food from Pro Plan and Merrick And I did try one Instinct one. Wish they had those in the big cans. But the big cans were like $3.00. Ouch.
 
I created a sorted version of Dr. Lisa's list that might be a little easier for you use. It sorts it first by the % calories from Carbs column (the first "C"), so they should be easier to spot.
 
Thanks! I'll check it out :) I gave lucky the Instinct grain free one. Almost thought she wasn't going to eat it! She sniffed it at first and then again and looked at me. Kind of like "what are you trying to feed me?" And then she ate it. I added some water to it. And she licks all the water out and then eats only a little lol. We'll see if she finishes it tonight. I have to test her tomorrow am so we'll see when I get up if the bowl is all gone :)
