Scout was treated at JVC. I don’t know the particulars of the UTI results. Tux is fed nothing but canned DM (purchased at JVC). The only variation is if we are out for the day and the time of dosage of the insulin may be delayed as well as the Pro Plan feeding. In consideration of the diabetic needs the DM dry is available to Tux. Since it is more appropriate for Scout to eat the DM than Tux to eat the Pro Plan, Scout will eat the DM. The wet food may be gobbled up by both cats and the next feeding and insulin may be delayed leaving them with nothing in the meanwhile.
We changed from proplan to blue because we heard good things and we wanted to feed our 3 dogs better but now maybe not such a good idea.
i have to be honest…i used to feed blue wilderness. i LOVED that food…until they changed the formulation. it caused serious problems for my IBD-sufferer cat, so i stopped feeding it. it caused him uncontrollable diarrhea. my other cat also starting having bouts of diarrhea after the change, so i switched to Wellness.
maybe try Wellness CORE? we have had quite a bit of success with it.
Laura- that’s what one of my friends said too that they changed the ingredients. My husky could not stomach the blue so now we’re dealing with diarrhea bland diet and reintroduce what we use to feed them.
i’d say it’s been about 3 years? basically, when they started advertising heavily on TV and in the papers, it was immediately after they were purchased by another company. that’s when they changed the recipe…and it’s a shame, because it used to be a great food.
other options i’d consider: Horizon Pulsar, Costco’s Kirkland grain-free, Merrick (this didn’t work well for my dog but it does for many others, and it’s very affordable), Acana and Orijen (though these may be too rich…tread lightly here). if you hit Pet Valu up in Perry Hall, they should have free sample bags of some things to try.
