Hi Ashley! We actually have a detailed article on phosphorus in cat food that you might find helpful: https://cats.com/phosphorus-in-cat-food. Phosphorus in cat food is a tricky subject because your cat’s needs may vary according to their age and health status. The NRC recommends of a minimum of 0.5% dry matter for adult cats, so the Taste of the Wild food you’re feeding hits that minimum. Does your cat have kidney disease? Or another health problem your vet has recommended low phosphorus for? If not, it may not be necessary to focus too much on finding a low-phosphorus food.

Hi! My cat is currently eating the Taste of the Wild Angus Beef Prey Limited Ingredient diet. I noticed the phosphorus content was around 1.3% which seems high. The Turkey version is closer to 1%. I am considering if I should switch foods to one with a lower amount. Do you have a review on the LID versions or have any insight on if this is considered high?

Our two cats did not do well when we switched them to Taste of the Wild. Our male cat started having urinary issues and ended up getting blocked twice! Our female cat did not get blocked but got two successive urinary infections, peeing blood everywhere. After we switched them to the expensive urinary diet, ALL their problems went away, even our male cat’s severe allergies subsided. I’m pretty certain that it was the food they were on that caused crystals in their urine.

So I’m pretty convinced this brand of food made my cat pretty sick. I got my cat the dry food and a couple cans of canned food. After a day of him eating the dry food he showed extreme signs of pancreatitis and the poor thing has been so clingy and nauseous while throwing up non stop almost. I didn’t correlate it to the food but I switched him back to his old food to be safe. After a few days of constant care, I got him better and then realized I still had the canned food. So I gave him the canned food ONE TIME, HALF A CAN and he regressed sooooo badly within hours of eating it! It’s definitely this brand of food. Something about this brand is making my cat so sick. I will be calling the company to complain. Also, just to rule other things out, there were no other changes made to my cat other than this food. It’s like he was poisoned and I’m super concerned.

Could you do a review of the Lowland Creek Dry food they have for cats? I don’t know how new it is, but I noticed this page only mentions the two original formulas, and I was just curious how the new formula compares (which is the one my cat’s are on, along with switching between their canned wet food).

And thank you for your thoroughness! I always come to this site when looking at potential new treats and litter for my fur babies!

In reply to Talia Regan. Hey Talia, Taste of the Wild cat food is much higher in carbohydrates than Dr. Elsey's dry cat food, but it's better than Dr. Clauder's in that respect. As long as it's fed in rotation with low-carb wet food, it should be okay, but it's not perfect. Hope that helps.

Hi Mallory,
I have been feeding my cat a mix of wet and dry food (Cat Person for wet and Dr Elsey’s for dry) for pretty much her entire life (she’s a little over two). I am living in Colombia where neither of those foods are available and most of the foods on the market are garbage. Of the brands that are available which you’ve reviewed, the best seemed to be Dr Clauder’s and Taste of the Wild. As I don’t like to feed my cat fish, I am gravitating towards the Taste of the Wild limited ingredient turkey formula. They have a guaranteed analysis on their website but they don’t say how high in carbohydrates it is. I was wondering if you could take a look and tell me if it looks to be an okay substitute for Dr Elsey’s.
Thank you,
Talia

I have been buying your dry cat food and the CanyonRiver 5.5oz cans, then also your Rocky Mountain wet cat foods, cats will only eat it if I crush up those square pieces of food in the cans. Well, recently the food has become mostly gravy and the Canyon River did not need more of that. Now the other has more gravy.
So please go back to the meeting and say, our customers noticed. And will look else where.

When one knows better they do better. I used to free graze dry food before I educated MYSELF away from mass media advertising. While I try to detox our cat’s from so called “Treats” and family members from giving “Treats” (the humans are more addicted to their needs to feel “wanted” or “loved by the cats than to actually think about the cats well being, but that’s another story) I use small amounts of Canyon River Dry with hot water added. I don’t free roam or graze feed anymore. I feed the cats wet food by Tiki and Weruva 2 x daily. As I learn more. The probiotics in Taste of should be a good thing. This is my first time here, if anyone can suggest an effective strategy to get people off the store brand Main stream emotionally driven idea they must give the cat dry treats please share, ( besides a psychologist) because facts don’t seem to be working around here. Thank you.
