Question

Can I use this as the main food?

Community Answer

It is okay to use it as the main meal as long as you're also feeding it other food. Wet food and other sorts of dry food with protein in it is also good.

Question

Can I avoid giving wheat germ

Sarah Battilana

Community Answer

You don't have to include wheat germ, but it does provide your cat with Vitamin B and helps its coat to be shiny and healthy.

Question

Can it be a cat's only food?

No. This kibble doesn't provide all the nutrients needed for a cat to stay healthy. Feed wet food, such as the chicken and vegetable medley described in the article, in addition to this kibble, on a regular basis.

Question

I can’t get brewer’s yeast. Please let me know what to do.

HumanBeing

Top Answerer

If you're not able to add the brewers yeast, you can still make the kibble but it won't be as nutrious for your cat.

Question

Is this ok for a cat with a history of UTI's? He is on a special veterinary diet and I don't want to chance another infection but at $100/bag this is tempting.

Ask your vet. The veterinary diet may contain specific ingredients that help your cat not in this kibble. You may be able to use less of the veterinary diet if the vet says the kibble is okay occasionally or you may be able to feed some of each as your cat's meals so you need less of the expensive food?

Question

Can humans eat this?

Alex S

Community Answer

No. It's never a good idea to eat food intended for animals. The food may have something in it that is unbalanced nutritionally or bad for the human body.

Question

I made this but had trouble finding dry milk, so I added low fat milk instead of water. I also couldn’t find soy flour, so omitted that, wheat germ also rare at ASDA. Is this okay?

Community Answer

Cow's milk can make your cat sick, as it is not intended to be consumed by cats. The lactose in the milk cannot be broken down by adult cats, and can cause them discomfort and diarrhea. Use water instead.
