What dry cat food IS safe to feed my cats?

Question

I have 4 cats, they have been eating Alley Cat dry cat food. I tried looking on the internet for which cat foods are safe, but it's so confusing. Does anyone know if Alley Cat is safe, or not?

Answer 1

In the short run, pretty much any dry food is safe.

In the long run none of them are; they all cause chronic fluid imbalance that will eventually almost certainly ruin kitty's kidneys and may trigger other serious health issues.

Answer 2

Nutro Max Cat Food Recall

Answer 3

Yes, it's perfectly safe. Some cats simply prefer to eat dry food instead of moist which has the same nutritional content of meat. Feeding dry food is actually beneficial both for you and the cat because it helps keep the cat's teeth clean and is cheaper in the long run than moist food.

Answer 4

The only foods affected by the recall are wet food. Unless this changes there should be no problem feeding dry cat food to your cats.

Answer 5

I have 4 cats as well ( 1 planned, 3 rescues). If u can afford it Royal Canin is "the diamonds of cat food). Easier on the pocket book is Max Cat made by the Nutro Company.....if u can avoid it dont buy your cat food at a grocery store, go to a pet store. Iams would be my third choice. All pet stores give free samples too. Good luck.

Answer 6

I won't feed dry food, but if I did, I would only choose one from this list. Evo would be my first choice, followed by Wellness' new grainless variety, or Nature's Variety Raw Instincts, which is also grainless.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
