It should not be this difficult to find good quality cat food

i can't explain how grateful i am for you and the love, dedication and hard work you put into researching and compiling information like this. i am such a neurotic and anxious cat mom (and have a poultry-allergy cat which is DIFFICULTtttt) and i'm CONSTANTLY trying to make sure my boys are getting the healthiest and safest food, treats, toys, litter-- everything! and the internet is soooo fraught with not only useless but wrong (or mysteriously funded by definitely not sketchy huge corporate pet food distributors) information, so it's SUCH a relief to have your well-researched, lab-tested and articulated videos to take some of the burden of that endless investigation off of my plate. <3 you rock.

Thank you very much for these reviews, including sending the samples for independent lab tests! I am not sure if I am using the best link to view the lab reports - for example, I am not sure if you ever have repeated measurements (after getting reports that include things like cyanide for the Kirkland Signature Maintenance report), or if the different years in one printed report mean that the same result can appear in multiple rows if re-tested?

EDIT: she ate the nulo! So relieved she's eating.❤ thank you! I'm preparing to adopt a senior cat. Trying to get all the essentials together.

I have been feeding my cat Rawz for the past three years and anyone that wants to feed this brand should know that all pate recipes include ground bone. This is roughly ground bone so you may have to pick out the larger bone shards from the food before you feed. Nulo, Tiki, CORE, and KOHA also have bone as well. Cat with CKD may have a problem with this food as they are higher in Phosphorus.

You have helped me more than you know! Thank you. I have been making myself crazy looking for the best food that I can afford. I finally found a food I could afford and hits all the good buttons including him loving the food, which was Nulo. Seeing your assessment of the foods couldn't have made me happier. Thank you for investigating and being so thoroughly. I appreciate it! Linda

It would be nice to see the analysis done on foods that contain fish. I worry about the mercury levels in cat food with fish in it and it's hard to find affordable cat foods that my cats like that don't contain fish.

My cat is so picky and changes his mind every day. We tried smalls, he wouldn't eat it. He won't eat Tiki cat anymore. Nothing shredded. No pate's. He was eating Darwin's raw but decided he was sick of it. All he wants is kibble, and I really would prefer him to have a diet with more variety. I'm going to try some of your other recommendations and hopefully get him on a healthy path.

Thank you for the recommendations and lab work. I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It’s nice to know the options available.

Thank you so much for this!! Extremely helpful video! I really appreciate you all! 😊💕

Thank you so much for your website! What a wealth of knowledge!

I really appreciate what you are doing and sharing your research for our cats!! You are incredible!! Thank you!

Mallory, I always look forward to your helpful videos. Do you have a suggestion for older cats with arthritis.

The info on cat food you've given us has helped our cats so much. Thank you for giving us more time with them. We love our cats so much.

Thank you so much for your recommendations! I really enjoy your videos💜Could you also do a review on Viva Raw's Complete Cat Food?

My picky boy will only eat Fancy Feast. I’ve tried all kinds of other foods with little luck.

I tried different canned foods. However, the litter box smell was horrible. I did some research and came across Smalls, I gave it a try. I am happy to say all 3 of my babies love it, and there is absolutely no litter box smell. I highly recommend Small. The only thing is there is no phone call. Everything is handled via email, hoping this changes in the future

Thanks for the reviews!!
