my cat is caged during the night and in the afternoon. she likes to roam around, gets tired, and go back to her cage, I leave the door open so whenever she feels like doing an activity or purr at me, it is free.

At about 9 pm, she knows the routine, gets back to her crib, and never leaves the cage. So I locked the cage door. Reason? I don't know, I feel that this is a very well-trained cat, though i never train her. She doesnt scratch my furniture at all!

indirectly saying Veterinarian invented food are shits?

so if your cat has loose stool or gastro problem, eat homemade made medicine?

Vets also invent dog and cat foods. Some then how?

Vets are also a human beings who dedicate their lives and skills for better animal health.

that's how they need to fund their research. to improve. Just like Clinic, more money to invest in new equipment for sick patients. Reasonable.

I am not going back to homemade because 5 years ago, my mom's dog suffers from anemia. Yeah, we were homemade food believers before.
When Vet asked us, we can't even give answers like how many portions of protein vitamins are given per day. which resulted in that disease. When I asked the homemade pet food company, they couldn't give the answers. Just based on average standard nutrients from each ingredient for example 500g of chicken = to % of protein, but when cooked the nutrients are lost in the heat process and they can't determine it. Anemia requires vitamin C in the process, but the recipe cannot provide the numbers and amount of Vit C available, and the company did not go through food tests and safety.

So my mom immediately also got her cat along for a full body check, and finally decided to switch it back to commercial foods.

is true. after switching to commercial food, the vet gave some tablets and supplements for few weeks

Now he lives happily ever after, 2 years of health check get a good result.

Suggestion as TS said, if u do not know 1000% about homemade, dont do it.
Unless u are anti-vax

I bought a pure breed BSH last month.

but my 3 adult cats don't like her. tried many ways online. slow introduce, keep carrier training close to each other, play together, and feed together.

whenever my eyes are not on them, one of the adult cats start growling at her, then the other 2 will also join.
So now I can only leave her in 1 of the room by herself.

it has been 3 weeks since, any ideas or ways you guys tried before that works?

better feed Farmina N&D than these 2 US brands.

If you want a cheaper but decent rage can use Acana from Canada.

Matisse is premium range. ND is super premium range.
U can try check with Farmina Malaysia

That's what they said

Farmina is 98% animal protein. Mean crude protein 44% x 98% will give you 43.12% of animal protein.

Acana is 75% animal protein. Mean 36% x 75% will give you only 27% of animal protein. The rest of it comes from vegetables.

That's why Farmina is expensive with that kind of booster protein. But feeding volume is less than Acana.

Apparently, Farmina now is now one of the highest range in the world.

If compare side by side
ND prime - Orijen
ND Ancestral Grain - Acana

You can give 1 meal wet diet, then 1 meal kibbles

Orijen and Acana were purchased by the Mars group.
Big acquisitions like this kind is very messy, because of there will be doubt from the consumers whether there will be changes in the formulas or the ingredients.

It is a recent year news, so you may want to study a bit more what has changed before investing your money.

It could be better or it could be bad, so far no answers yet.

Just read the ingredients. And google what is filler.

For a mid range. Yes. Not too bad

Farmina ND, Orijen

DVS approved?
