After learning what is in Iams Low Residue dog food, we decided to change her diet to California Natural chicken and rice. She loves the food, but has had a loose stool ever since we left the Low Residue behind and made the change, with the blessing of our Vet. He is puzzled and so are we. Didn’t think this would/could happen with this natural and wholesome food. Now we don’t know what to do. She has had plenty of time (3 months) to adjust to the change. Anyone have any advice? In helping her make the change, vet. prescribed forti flora and then metronitazole. Nothing is helping to firm her up, but she seems to feel fine. His present method of treatment is to keep her on the California N., with nothing else and hope for things to turn around. This has been going on for way too long. And her stool is like pudding. We’re thinking we need to put her back on the Low Residue no matter what is in it.

We currently feed our kitten B.F.F. canned cat food, and Orijen dry food (sparingly, mostly as a snack).

We pay per case of 12 and each can is 3 oz. So it works out to 83 cents a can, or 27 cents an ounce. It has 12% crude protein.

We want to start buying his food in bulk, because that case only lasts him about 4 days.

We are looking for a natural, grain free, high protein count, canned food for him in BULK. I have been looking, without much success, so I was wondering if maybe some more experience cat owners have a brand or a website they can recommend. Thank you!

(We’ve considered making his own food, but a few recipes I looked at says it can only be stored for 3 days, and I’m not sure if we’d have the time to make it every 3 days…)

Any advice/brands/websites/tips? Much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
We don’t want to feed our cat more dry food.. it is not good for a cat’s diet for multiple reasons. We are looking for raw/canned food.
Canned food-wise we’ve also fed him Tiki Cat and California Natural. He really loves Tiki Cat and B.F.F.

Would raw food be less expensive? We also don’t have a lot of freezer storage space.. but we’re willing to make sacrifices for the well being of our little cat

Also a good diet for a cat that has a heart mumur.

Thank u so much! =)
