purina food warning scare

[momsgirl2727]

Good morning all. I have a question about the purina products and all the talk of Purina killing our pets . My Daughter Sam has been a member here for quite some time ,and thanks to the support of all of you here, her cat Ruben no longer requires insulin. She currently has him on Purina One Smartblend Chicken Pate because it only has 2% carbs. He is doing well on this food but now she is VERY concerned about the recent Purina scare. She wants to know if she should stay the course with the Purina One or switch to another 2% low carb canned food. If she should switch, can you reccomend a food that is comparable, and how to switch him without risking him developing insulin dependency or pancreatisis from the switch itself?

I do not see anything by anecdotal stories. Not hard evidence

I remember them and you!! How are Sam and Ruben doing?

If the food is working for him, I'd stick with it. Unless there's an actual recall or a news article or even a lawsuit, it's hard to believe everything you hear and there probably aren't be any foods that don't have a complaint somewhere about them. Depending on budget, there are some other options that might be better quality. The Weruva Cats in the Kitchen line and Tiki Cat come to mind as the two that have the least amount of questionable ingredients and therefore a lower chance of causing problems. You can check out the food list at catinfo.org for some more low carb foods to try (the first Column C gives the carb percentage.
