[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1823847, member: 41816"] This is a bugbear of mine. Cats are obligate carnivores, so why is there an epidemic of cat diabetes in the UK and America? Well, the ingredients lists on the petfood gives a really good clue: [URL]https://www.whiskas.ca/en/our-products/dry-food/whiskas-indoor-cat-with-chicken[/URL] [B]CHICKEN[/B] BY-PRODUCT MEAL, GROUND YELLOW [B]CORN[/B],[B]CORN GLUTEN[/B] MEAL, [B]WHEAT[/B], SOYBEAN MEAL, NATURAL FLAVOUR, ANIMAL [B]FAT[/B] (PRESERVED WITH[B]BHA[/B] AND [B]CITRIC ACID[/B]), [B]CHICKEN[/B], POWDERED CELLULOSE, BEET PULP, [B]WHEAT FLOUR[/B], [B]RICE[/B], [B]SALT[/B],[B]POTASSIUM[/B] CHLORIDE, [B]CARAMEL[/B], [B]VITAMINS[/B] (CHOLINE CHLORIDE, [B]VITAMIN E[/B] SUPPLEMENT, [B]VITAMIN A[/B]SUPPLEMENT, ... Dogs are omnivorous, but that doesn't mean that veg is their optimum diet. They evolved in an environment where they ate meat and other stuff if necessary. Shoving grain and bulking agents into their food isn't optimal. My two dogs get raw, high protein, no grain, and are thriving in it. Don't ever intend to change to processed foods. [/QUOTE]
