You know what I like about your pet food scoring system is that some of the most affordable pet foods have scored the highest. I was actually feeding my cats Royal Canin and it scored lower than IAMS. I found that so interesting primarily because RC is arguably the most expensive pet food on the market and IAMS is one of the most affordable.

I have an itchy kitty and I wish I knew about how allergens develop in cats. My only option is a hydrolyzed protein diet. And like you said they are very limited and super expensive. I rotate wet cat foods because my cats are picky. Unfortunately they’re not like dogs. One cat likes this and the other likes that. It’s so frustrating because if a cat doesn’t like a food. They simply don’t eat it. Whereas doggies are much more easier to please. But thankfully for their dry food it’s super easy. They all like HSD Oral Care.

That Open Farm dry cat food made my cat's face break out into terrible sores, beware 😮

Very good video! I have been giving my cat different proteins and brands since my cat arrived four years ago as an older kitten.. I have fed Feline natural, Royal Canin, Tiki Cat, Ziwi peak and RAWZ all wet and sometime give a little Dr. Elsey's clean protein kibble. He loves the kibble but I try not to placate that love. I just thought, perhaps incorrectly that if a particular food was discontinued or modified in a way that changed palatability it would have less impact. Food allergy causation was not considered. I would of thought that exposure is also required for humans to develop an allergic reaction. Anyway a new piece of information that I appreciate. I was always a little concerned that most of these "better foods" (they do seem better in terms of ingredients) seem to have higher protein, calcium and phosphorous levels than recommended by AAFCO on a dry matter basis. This was one other reason why I mixed things up have tried to make sure than in total he was withing the guidelines while also avoiding the gums, corn meals, wheat gluten etc... I love the cat so if changing what I do is better I will.

I'm surprised to hear that pet nutrition didn't make the top of the list. I would imagine preventative care through diet would be something very important to a veterinarian.I'm despondent to hear otherwise 😢

For a senior dog food can you cover Wellness? Their guaranteed analysis seems kind of ok?

Question my mom dog has a seizure and I’m trying to figure out what’s the best food for her? My mom bought the salmon brand of this because it has cinnamon in it which is good for seizure. Will it be good for the dogs that have seizure. Vets don’t really show this or recommend this I’m not sure why they aren’t really helpful

Any tips on getting a cat to lose weight? I have them on weight control food. I have portioned it out to the cat size I want them to be, not the cat size that they are. I've put wet food in their diet along with the dry kibble. And, yes I did calculate the calorie intake with both foods in there. I'm kind of at a loss I don't think they've lost a pound in 4 months.

Do you think your rating system could be further improved?

Dr. Rea, in a perfect world if there is one thing you could change with pet labelling what would it be?

[Christine-Youtube-ie]

Hi, have you done any videos on wet/canned DOG food? I've searched but can't seem to find any.

[TheJackeeeo]

Have you reviewed their cat canned food?

Interesting video. If you would click on each cell so that the formulas are visible, we could recreate the spreadsheet. Maybe in your next video? Happy Purrsday!
