Both cats were so-so on eating the Chicken Soup, so Sugar tried a small bag of Blue Buffalo. They seem to really like it, and are chowing down. May be our imagination or the season, but their coats look a lot shinier, and both seem to be shedding less...
YMMV...

As long as you keep checking for recalls.. just remember Blue Buffalo has had several recalls for contaminated food. Also keep a eye on their weight.. this breed can not get fat! I think it's the same for most breeds but when they get really fat they go into liver & kidney failure. As for the not shedding and looking good, that's great !! But could the Furminator have anything to do with it?  I know of a few people that have their animals ( dogs & cat's) on Blue and love it.. We have a friend who owns some of our dogs ( also 2 of my cat's)and has taken them to world champions, ( JD Platt and K-9 Kings)...he was sponsored by Blue Buffalo.. but the last time the contamination killed several animals so he dropped them and won't let them sponsor him again. He was very angry with them for not pulling the food sooner and for not even letting him know that the food they sent him could have killed his dogs. .. so just keep your eye on recalls.. I know, I know.. only so much we can do and it doesn't happen all the time.. keep us up on how it going with the new food..just remember the Blue will also one day get old and they will be looking for something else.. I remember you said they loved the chicken soup when you first brought it home too  |

I've tried the Blue Buffalo - cats loved it and it was pretty good for them. I've also tried B.G. (Before Grains) but the one I keep going back to is the Solid Gold Indigo Moon. Seems to do the best for my critters plus they like it. I'm also feeding Solid Gold Wolf to my indian dog, Ahyoka aka Happy Dog. Have not seen any recalls on Solid Gold foods. The culprit tho isn't necessarily the people who are 'manufacturing' the food - it's the plants they are using to do it. A majority of the recalls were made in one set of plants.....

We have stuck with Chicken Soup. They really don't know there are choices out there. We've never told them but tonight we the kitties a small container of soft food tonight. Divided it up into 3 equal parts and fed them in 3 different places. You guessed it.....Gizmo gobbled up his then his brothers then his sisters. We have 2 out of 3 slender kitties  |

Our guys get soft food every Saturday morning. The problem is Scooter knows it now, and has become an alarm clock every Saturday morning...

We had to go to town today for our usual dog/ cat food and litter run.. I checked the Solid Gold and I guess it's OK but the bag was smaller I believe it was just 15# , compared to the 18# Chicken Soup and it was much more expensive $34.99 for the Gold and $27. for the Chicken Soup.... maybe if you only have a few cats it's OK but with 22.. just can't do it.. So far all is good for me with the Chicken Soup  No complaints.. well none I can understand so if they are unhappy .. they can pack up and go to McDonald's! ;D |

Haha Arlene, I would not be able to afford Solid Gold for 22 kitties - altho I would love to try! That many cats running around would make it hard to decide which one to pet tho <g>
Thanks for the welcome back to Dan, I tend to get caught up in other stuff and forget to check in as often as I would like!!
I fed Chicken Soup for years but for some reason one of my old girls has developed an allergy to something in it so can't feed it any more. The rest of them did fine on it - oh well, we must 'serve' the princess Pandora so will stay with the Indigo Moon. Thank god once I move I will have a good pet food store in the area and will be able to quit getting it from PetFlow - altho who knows? Petflow may just end up being a cheaper way to get it - we shall see!!
