If your veterinarian is recommending that you feed your cat a dry kibble, diabetic diet, perhaps it is time to take matters into your own hands, inform your vet about the dangers of feeding this inappropriate food, and if you must, go your own way for the sake of your companion animal.
Diabetes in our feline population can be blamed almost exclusively on dry commercial pet foods.
My vet recommended Hills Prescription Diet m/d dry and canned products. Both products contain cereals.
The products are ‘designed’ to promote weight-loss, but my cat is not over-weight, he has lost weight!
So why has the vet recommended them? I really do not understand and will be asking him this at our next check-up.
The dry food contains Corn Gluten Meal (2nd ingredient in the list), powdered cellulose, brewers rice, whole grain corn.
The can contains corn starch, powdered cellulose, rice flour.
These ingredients are inappropriate.
From now on my cat will not be given any food that contains high glycemic ingredients (carbs, cereals, plants) such as those listed above.
