[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 573361, member: 1233"] My folks have had their animals on science diet, with a bit of dry fancy feast as their treats. They use the reg fancy feast brand dry and give them 4-6 bits as a treat. They love it. I cannot STAND science diet. If you have an animal with recurrent Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)'s, then the prescription food for that is okay. TOlerable at least. But SD uses grains and things that dogs and cats cannot digest well. I pulled up the ingred list for science diet online and read it to my mom. Then I pulled up the TOTW food and had her read it. She was SHOCKED and really upset that for a very long time she has spent so very much on SD when it does NOT have quality ingredients. It got popular with vets because it has a good profit margin and was something that clients bought regularly, rather than just the once a year checkup, etc... I am taking some TOTW to her this week so she can see what her cats think of it. I have known a lot of vets as friends as well as vet students, and they all have said that SD is good, but mostly it got popular because it helped infections and had a good profit margin. Several said they only fed it to their pets because it was inexpensive for them to purchase at wholesale, so they didn't go and buy/try other brands to see if any were better. All of the cats I have been around would eat various plants. Wild cats do this also. There is even a plant that makes cats stoned that grows wild and there are big cats that will eat it and totally stoned in the wild. Many cats will eat grasses when they are getting furballs because it somehow helps move them through. [/QUOTE]
