When I bought fluffy she was already on whiskas kitten food she's now nearly 3 and I still feed her the whiskas dry food, She just sleeps and sleeps  Then again its what ragdolls do . She not a cat that eats it all in one go she will nibble and always has done. Is it worth changing her diet now? she's very healthy, good weight never had any illness.  |

I've been re-reading this thread as my future new kitten's owner tells me that although the kittens are still sometimes suckling she is also giving them Whiskers kitten biscuits. NOOO! She has said she will let me have some when I go to pick him up but I will be weaning him onto another kibble just as soon as I can. I suspect that it affects some kittens more than others, but I would rather be safe than sorry. I'll have a look at the Burns when I go kitten shopping later today. |

I am going to continue using Whiskas for my three. Oli seems to prefer Whiskas to Royal Canin and the vet says that he is in perfect health. He is a very large cat with a stunningly clean, soft and silky coat (and no he hasnt been using Pantene!!  ) What more could I ask for?! |

WHISKAS dry food is made of much lower quality protein than premium brands ie. Hills etc. But different strokes for different folks (cats) lol.... Though what should be noted is Whiskas Adult dry food has 8% Ash,whereas premium brands have around 6-6.5%. This is important because Ash contributes to urinary crystals in male cats....again some cats are supceptable and some not. But I wouldn't want to take that gamble with my cats health...... James Well Beloved dry cat food is the best in my eyes, even has cranberry in there. |

This is a very good thread  , I'd never looked at whats in cat foods I just always thought whiskas was about the best. |

Whiskas isn't bad, but it is far from the best... Maybe in the supermarket range, its better than most. Though it must be stressed what is good for one cat, may not the best for an other. They are all individual... It isn't until later in life, when health fails that sometimes diet can be a pointer.... I am a bit of a cat food Nazi... I love James Wellbeloved Dry food, expensive but worth it! Though my persian who has had operations for his urinary stones, is on RC wet food, mixed in with lots of water to flush his bladder out. The expensive Hills dry prescription diet for urinary cats did not help him!!!!! As a rule, urinary cats should be kept well away from dry food of ALL kinds (even prescription dry). Through trial and error I learned..... |
