Hi,

I am thinking of trying some new wet foods for my 2 kittens and was wondering if anyone had any experience of them?

They are:

Herrmanns Organic-Menu
Porta 21 Holistic Cat BIO Cat Food
Yarrah Wellness Pâté

They are all available on zooplus.co.uk

Any opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

I see you have posted so many times about cat foods for your kittens.
My opinion is keep them on the same kitten food as your breeder had them on and don't change it, unless they are having bowel problems on it.

Some, but not all Bengals, have sensitive stomachs and to keep changing cat foods is not a good idea, as their stomach just gets used to one type then they are off on another type and before you know it they have diarrhoea and an inflamed gut. Add to that the stress of "leaving home", it is a recipe for disaster.

Once they have grown up into adults and have settled completely then they may be able to cope with changes.

Hi junglerose,

The reason I have swapped so many times is indeed because of bowel problems.

They are on Royal Canin S/O Sensitivity from the vets at the moment and it has sorted the diarrhea, but they don't really seem to like it.

They are hardly eating any. A couple of mouthfulls in the morning and then they leave it. Then a couple of mouthfulls again in the afternoon and the same.

My plan was to add a bit of another food to see if it will change their minds. Only a tiny bit at time of course, but they obviously need to start eating more!

I thought if I went with a high meat, low cereal content food it would hopefully be easier on their bellies.

Fingers crossed.

Did you ever try the Bozita Steve? It worked for Dolly and my moggy kittens are thriving on it too. I would agree though that if you're going to introduce a new food, you need to do it slowly and give them plenty of time to adjust to it.
