billydog Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 My friend is bringing her cat over from the States in a week or so after 6 months of waiting due to quarentine rules (B came over here unexpectedly so Mollycat was not ready and had to go through rabies vax etc whilst staying with a friend). At the moment she's fed Iams light hairball control but it's not sold over her. B is bringing some food over for here but obviously needs to swap here onto something available here. Any ideas for a low calorie (she's a middle aged house cat!) hairball conrol good quality dried food? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kats inc Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I used the James Wellbeloved light for Bert for a while and he liked it.However he still ate everything else in sight so the light bit didn't work really.He is such a gutty pig.However on the taste test it went down pretty well with all the cats,they all seemed to like it,even those that don't need a light food.

Helly Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think Royal Canin now do a hairball control one. dont know if its light as well. they seem to do individual ones for just about every type of cat with breed specifics and god knows what else.

KathyM Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Can't recommend any dry food as I won't feed my cats any, but Nature's Menu pouches seem to keep cats at their optimum weight (probably cos it's not full of unecessary stuff). Or raw? Edited October 26, 2008 by KathyM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Royal Canin do several million cat foods (and we've tried pretty much all of them), All they are short of now are special bags for different coloured cats coz they have pretty much covered every other option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uke Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Royal Canin do several million cat foods (and we've tried pretty much all of them), the ones that would be relevant to your friend might be; Light 40 (bog standard light food), Sterilised 37 (light food for neutered indoor cats), Intense Hairball, Indoor 27 (light-ish food for indoor cats) and Indoor Long Hair 35. Pure Feline no 4 Wellness is good for hairballs too. The Horde are currently on a mix of Sterilised 37, Digestive Comfort 38 (stops Mao vomiting it back up) and Pure Feline 4 as Homer does really badly on foods other than RC. We've tried everything available on the market over the last 4 years and I even gave raw feeding a go but it's RC or nothing for Homer. I've heard good things about Orijen too but they don't do a specific light food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
