Is dry cat food cheaper than wet?

PoC avatarPosted on February 15, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 15, 2021

It is too difficult to answer the question precisely because of the variables involved. However, there is one major factor which makes dry cat food cheaper than wet. This fact overrides any other in my opinion. And it’s this: you … Continue reading →

Cat junk food prevents cats assessing its energy density

PoC avatarPosted on October 23, 2017 by Michael BroadOctober 23, 2017

I believe, and this is a theory, that cat junk food (poor quality dry cat food or perhaps even all dry cat food) confuses the cat into being unable to assess the calorific value per weight of their food which … Continue reading →

Does dry cat food clean teeth?

PoC avatarPosted on May 25, 2017 by Michael BroadMay 25, 2017

No, dry cat food does not clean a cat’s teeth despite what the pet food manufacturers claim. When humans eat dried food we don’t claim that it cleans our teeth. Why should it be any different for cats? Dentists never … Continue reading →

Prescription Diets for Cats Are a Scam

PoC avatarPosted on February 20, 2015 by Michael BroadAugust 31, 2017

Although Hill’s have the patent on the phrase “prescription diet”, other major pet food manufacturers such as Purina, Iams and Royal Canin also manufacture similar products which are sold through veterinary clinics to give the impression that they have specific … Continue reading →
