Is Fancy Feast or Science Diet food healthy for a cat?
May 11, 2009 by Jen the Cat Captain | Posted in Cats
Okay, well, I pretty much know that they aren't, but I couldn't think of how else to phrase the question.
My cats are on a diet of Fancy Feast wet food (the Gourmet line of products), and Science Diet dry food (Kitten food, as they're 7 months and 10 months old). When I bring up the subject of switching brands to my mom (Which is dumb, because I pay for it, and she will NOT let me feed them myself, as she gets up earlier in the morning than I do for work, and says that they annoy her until she feeds them), she just rolls her eyes and says 'Not this again!'
Can you provide me with some information about the horrid garbage that these brands are? I need to make my mother listen to me!
It's really hard to find it online, because I assume the brands have bought off people to promote it, instead of being honest.
Ugh, sorry this is so long...but can you help?
Also, I'm 19 years old, and am working a 9-5 job, so I'm responsible (But my mother's stubbornness trumps that.) The simple solution would be to move out, but yeah. With what money?
P.S. Wow, sorry about the grammatical error. I meant 'ARE Fancy Feast & Science Diet....' blah blah blah.
Science Diet is not the best, but certainly not the worst. Years ago it really was the best on the market. Fancy Feast is about average and the beef and chicken varieties are OK. We had a cat who had severe stomatitis and Fancy Feast was all he would eat.
Not everyone can feed the premium brands of food for many reasons. Do the best that you can and give those kitties lots of love and security. Better a home with average quality food, than a home feeding premium food without love.
good luck!

My cats are on a diet of Fancy Feast wet food (the Gourmet line of products), and Science Diet dry food (Kitten food, as they’re 7 months and 10 months old). When I bring up the subject of switching brands to my mom (Which is dumb, because I pay for it, and she will NOT let me feed them myself, as she gets up earlier in the morning than I do for work, and says that they annoy her until she feeds them), she just rolls her eyes and says ‘Not this again!’
Go to Petfooddirect.com. Its going to have ingredient lists for every single pet food available (including organic and grain free). Its very clear from there why the higher quality foods are better for pets. I would also look up some of Darksong and Take care of my cats answers, as they are VERY knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. Best of luck!
Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don’t use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.http://www.catinfo.org/#My_Cat_is_Doing_… Vetinarian diets The reason your vet thinks so highly of the pet food they sell probably has more to do with money than nutrition. In vet school, the only classes offered on nutrition usually last a few weeks, and are taught by representatives from the pet food companies. Vet students may also receive free food for their own dogs and cats at home. They could get an Iams notebook, a Purina purse and some free pizza. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04…
