Question: Why do Veterinary Associations “certify” Crappy dog foods such as this one that that a friend gave.?
I’m currently looking after 8 four week old puppies that I got from a friend. Their mother was run over. My friend gave me the following canned dog food along with another crap dog food called “Super Saver”.
Its called “No Name® meat mix” its 624 g
Ingredients: water sufficient for processing, meat by-products, chicken, poultry by-products, soybean meal, barley, textured soy protein product, wheat middlings, ocean fish, tricalcium phosphate, salt, guar gum, choline chloride, vitamins (vitamin E, AB12, D3 supplements, thiamin mononitrate, biotin, riboflavin supplement) minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc, oxide, copper proteinate, manganous sulfate, potassium iodide, sodium selenite) iron oxide.
I know that this is crap dog food because I had asked earlier about this and Super Saver.
My question is: Why does this dog food say “Certified by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association to meet its Nutritional Standards”???
I have heard many people on here talk about how bad dog foods similar to “No Name® meat mix” that come from the super market for .99 cents a can, are to feed to any dog or puppy, so why is this Association putting their name on this “garbage food”???
I already know about euthanized dogs, cats and dead livestock being used as Meat By-Products, but do these Vets have any idea about that, or do they just refuse to believe that it really goes on?
By the way: I haven’t fed this food to the puppies since I was told about how bad it is.
Oops, I didn’t notice that I spelled “That” two times.
Mac, I have read these about dogs and cats being used in dog food, I think you should, too, then tell me what you think.
http://earthislandprojects.org/eijournal/fall97/fe_fall97petfood.html
It mentions the drugs that are used to euthanize the shelter animals being inside crap pet food.
This is an article about West Coast Rendering which has been known to be a big supplier of
these Mystery Meat By-Products that are in many super market pet foods. They talk with the owner about using dead dogs and cats.

Question: Besides dry/wet cat food, what foods would my cat be able to eat?
My cat, Noel, has a very sensitive stomach. When we first adopted him the foster agency provided a two month supply of food (Science Diet) which we used. I noticed that he got sick and vomited a lot (plus after researching Science diet and finding it to be gross) so we changed his food. He is now on an all-natural dry cat food with no by-products and does not get sick. Yet every time he eats wet cat food he does vomit. Is there any other kind of food (“human” food) I could feed him so as to provide a little variety in his diet?
He likes yogurt a lot but I try not to let him eat it as I’ve read about dairy being bad for cats.
I don’t really have a lot of meat around the house, as I’ve never really liked the taste, anything without meat you think he’d like though?

Most cats can eat anything like scraps. I’m not sure if your cat would be able to but you could try it. They normally like bologna and stuff like that. Sorry i’m not sure..hope that helped.
Question: How do I switch foods for my cat?
I’m trying to get my cat off FancyFeast, and onto something more healthy. Problem is most of the healthy stuff is pate, and she like chunky food. She will eat a bit of the new food at first, but later she won’t touch it and she just starts to cry until I give her FancyFeast …. I know they recommend intorducing the new food “gradually”, but what does that really mean? Should I alternate the foods? Should I mix them ??
Thanks.

If you stick to only giving meat, you don’t have to worry about what is bad. Make sure it doesn’t have any sauces or spices. Some are fine, some are bad. But as I said, it’s easier if you keep it simple. There are some things that are particularly bad, but they are avoided if you just stick to plain meat.
No bones allowed.
Question: Are all “human foods” bad for cats? If so, why?
Like when you’re making a tuna sandwich, and your cat sits down by your feet and looks up at you as if to say : “If you don’t give me some of that right NOW you pathetic little human, I will destroy you and all those you hold dear”.
Is it bad to give in?
I know chocolate, garlic and onions are bad, but what about ham, paté (meat products) and tuna, sardines? (fish in general?)
The vicious little monsters would eat that in the wild too, no? I get mixed opinions.
They have and eat normal cat food, but as they always want what I’m having, be it tuna, or orange juce (weird huh?) I was just wondering if a little piece from time to time was ok.

Answer by Ken S
Plain meat is fine for snacks as cats are carnivores.
Fish is ok on occasion
Veggies and fruits hold no value but as far as is known, do no harm
grains, carbohydrates can do harm, Rice, corn ect
Sugar can do harm
My cat got diabetes from eating dry food because of the high carbohydrate load
