Gary, I check (or write to) Chewy.com. For any food, generally someone has already asked that question or you can ask it yourself and the manufacturer or Chewy will provide an answer.

My questions are 1st what’s the best way to get him to eat the wet food vett said should be feed every 12hrs a can of food. When I feed in morning after 11-12hrs of no food (have other cats ) put him into pounder room with food and water even after an hour lucky if he ate 1/4-1/3 of a can of food , I ve tried mixing it with dry food he likes he may eat 1/3- 2/5 of a can and most of the dry food.
when I let him out he goes right to other cats bowels and will eat the couple of pieces left over in there bowel and feed them on different floors so I know he still hungry.
So any suggestions on getting him to eat

Second at least till next month when I get my next check and speak with vet they wrote a prescription for wet food pick up 2 cans one each flavor second one he picked for a second and wouldn’t eat, so need ask about a different brand.
I know carbs need be low below 7-10% is best any recommendations on food that can be bought over the counter at say Walmart or even pets mart (though closest one 45m ride away) or other stores or ideally a big box store where can get a good price on case of quality food. Would be greatly appreciated. Just found out his Diagnosis 2 days pior to my birthday on the 27th of April have do blood sugar curve in 12 days and just want to find a good quality food to feed him even if I get the prescription food I only be able to afford a case a month that’s 24 cans for 59.99 and he should have 1 and 1/4 cans a day so even if I can find a brand that I can use to make up the difference say 3/4 can of prescription and half can of none prescription would be outstanding.

Hi Mary, good question. I can’t overrule your vet’s advice on this, but I would lean towards sticking with the Young Again, as it is a lower-carb diet with more potential to help your cat enter remission. You will need to closely monitor her insulin levels, of course, to ensure that she doesn’t develop low blood sugar from the combination of a low-carb diet and insulin support. Regarding her anal soreness, do you think it’s due to constipation or something else? I would talk with your vet to pin down exactly what’s going on so you can address it. Additional fiber supplementation may be a good choice, but we’d need to know what’s happening in your cat’s body to make the right decision. Wishing you and your cat all the best!

Hi Robin, I see no indication that there’s anything wrong with the food, but I would ask your vet why they stopped selling it!

Hi Leslie, there are a lot of low-carbohydrate, affordable options out there. Fancy Feast’s Classics Paté foods are popular among diabetic cats for this reason.

Hello Mallory, If I fed my diabetic 12 pound cat on Tiki cat it would cost $10 a day and a 24 can pack would last less than 5 days. This is pretty unacceptable. Do you have suggestions for food that is affordable?
Thanks.

For the most part, yes! I can’t make any promises at this time, since varieties can be added/changed, so you’ll want to double check. But for the most part, they are all good options!
