OK...I give up. What food chart do you guys use these days?

[Shelly and Spaceman]

Since all my cats have been low carb/grain free all their little lives I have not made much of a change in diet. I looked a little at Janet and Binkys chart bt there are so many foods that I have been using that aren't on there. Everything I buy is grain free but maybe I need to look more into them than just "grain free".

There are two - the one most commonly references is on Dr. Lisa's site - here. It's a couple of years older now, so there are some new one's on Tanya's CRF page. The latter is sorted in order of amount of phosphorus, which is s little harder to find the fuds if you are in a store, so I mostly use the Catinfo one.

Janet and Binky's info is out of date. Dr. Lisa updated Janet and Binky's but I don't know how often she adds info to her page. I believe she encouraged people to send her information if the nutritional info is based on "as fed" values from the manufacturer.

Here's a list from the "New to the Group?" sticky:

• Dr. Lisa's Cat Food Nutritional Composition List (2012)
• Dr. Lisa's Phosphorus Cat Food List (2012).
• Food list under 10% carbs, under 1% phosphorus (2016)
• UK Cat Food List
• CANADIAN Food Chart
• AUSTRALIAN canned food suitable for diabetic cats
• Home prepared diet for CRD cats - Think Tank Discussion
• Hobos Guide to Nutritional Values - cat food values (includes date values were obtained)
• Pet Food Nutritional Values Comparison (August 2010) - values for cat foods
• Janet & Binky's Food Charts (March 2008) - what you need to know about cat foods
• Gluten Free, Low Carb Wet Cat Food - Fancy Feast Varieties (November 2010)

• List of Low Carb Treats

Maybe they'll help...

When Vyktor was first dx there wasn't info for Australian foods, there weren't as many imports available and I generally couldn't get good info out of the manufacturers (with a few exceptions) so I based everything on the ingredients. You're right that just being grain free doesn't necessarily mean it's LC. I just avoided everything that had ingredients not suitable for a cat, eg cereals, thickeners, vegetables. Some foods that contain such ingredients may contain a small enough amount that they're still LC but by avoiding all of them I could be sure.

Does anyone use natures Recipe or Muse foods? They are the ones that look like real shredded chicken.
