In reply to the discussion: about grain-free kibble (cross-posted from Pets) [View all]fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)22. I've never heard that before. Is that info from a veterinarian, or your experience with your cat?
My old male cat prefers canned food . . . that's mostly what he eats. He has been diagnosed with kitteh irritable bowel syndrome and an allergy to corn and its byproducts. He is on medication for the the IBS. None of my cats has ever had the 'toots'.
The vet always tells me canned food is far healthier than kibble. What does your vet say?
