Yes, 0.01% taurine is far too low. Seems like it might be an error on the label so best to reach our to Acana and ask them directly

Yes hi I have fives cats now I did have six but one passed away just a week ago any ways I go to the pet food banks and it always seems that the wet food I get is mostly always the acana brand that is donated and no matter which ones I get tuna or chicken or the lamb my cats do not like it especially the lamb so sorry to say even the dry brands so sorry to say this brand of cat food sucks big time.

My cat has a sensitive tummy, and I prefer a grain free dry food, with no ash. So what do I get? This looked to be my best choice.

Agreed! So many changes have been made. I see on this review of Grasslands it says lamb, trout, etc. Their new formula has none of those ingredients. Now it has duck, chicken, eggs, turkey, quail, catfish, etc. Also, quite a few legumes and beans which was surprising, I am interested to hear what you think of this. I am looking at changing my cat’s food and this is one I am considering so a definite update is needed!!!

I will never buy this food again. Within 3 weeks of feed ing my cats, my female cat got a UTI, 5 days later my male got a full blockage. I blame this 100% due to feeding my cats 100% raw for 5 years. Decided to try to make my life easier by feeding kibble.
Never again. Ra
w all the way.

The internet is so polarizing and confusing when it comes to pet food. So many blogs and websites that appear to be reputable sources, are wildly misleading and are funded by the big name brands themselves. Until my two cats now 13, started having various issues and I began researching how to best support them through diet, that’s when I came across your videos and learned just how corrupt the pet food industry is. Even more, your work has set me on a journey to educate myself on label laws, ingredients, etc. so I can use trustworthy databases and reviews like yours as a jumping off point and then do the research for myself.
One of my cats stopped eating wet food so I have to feed him dry. Even so he is very picky. His bloodwork came back normal but he is starting to lose weight. He also has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis and needs a urinary food. My vet strongly advised me put him on RX Royal Canin Urinary and Stress, which I really didn’t want to do after looking at the ingredients but she told me it would be best. She told me to leave the food out for him all day and give him as much as he’s willing to eat. Well, my other cat was very happy with this situation and steadily began gaining weight. He was always a big boy but let’s be honest, it wasn’t gaining muscle.
So I researched and researched and found Wysong Urinary, which is also low carb and high protein. I gradually switched them over with my vet’s approval. That has been going well. My hefty cat’s weight has leveled off and my kitty with Cystitis hasn’t had any severe episodes since switching foods. Unfortunately, it seems he’s now losing interest in the Wysong so I’m on the hunt for a second option to give him some variety. I’m trying to find a low carb-high protein, urinary friendly dry food, that isn’t filled with a bunch of junk and is highly palatable. I know, that’s asking A LOT! Anaca has come out with a high protein, grain free cat food but it’s so new that I can’t find unbiased info on it and I am unsure if it’s urinary safe. I’m curious if you have had a chance to check it out or if any other high quality, urinary, low carb foods come to mind off the top of your head. Thanks again for all you do!
