I’ve been buying Meow Mix for my fur baby, Fluffy, for the past year or so. I gotta be honest, the price is super tempting! It’s definitely one of the cheaper brands on the market. Plus, Fluffy seemed to enjoy it initially.
Trouble started when she began putting on too much weight. After doing some research and consulting with our vet, turns out that Meow Mix doesn’t quite have the nutritional balance our feline friends need. There are way too many fillers like corn and wheat in the ingredient list – not exactly prime cuisine for a predator like a cat.
In terms of digestion, Fluffy started having a few issues there as well. Nothing major, but enough to get me worried. Swapped over to a higher protein brand (a bit pricey, but worth it) and she has been doing just fine.
So while the price of Meow Mix may be appealing, keep in mind that cheap isn’t always better when it comes to your pet’s health. Not saying it’s harmful or anything but I’m personally not going back anytime soon.
Anyway, that’s just my two pennies on Meow Mix! Every fur baby is different so maybe other cats react better to it? Would love to hear other opinions!
Stay pawsome,
CatLover93Granted, the ingredients list isn’t too worrying: no filler grains or anything dodgy like that. It’s also pretty solid in terms of protein content. But hey, in the end it doesn’t mean diddlysquat if my cats aren’t interested, right?
Tiny advantage? The portion sizes are just right for my wee ones – so no waste at least.
But personally gonna switch back to our staple food next month.Testing new brands feels like roulette sometimes… anyone else felt likewise with Sheba or was it just me?
I’ve been feeding my kitty Hill’s Science Diet for about 6 months now, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, my cat REALLY loves it – cleans her bowl every time.
But on the flip side, I noticed she’s packing on a few extra pounds since switching over from Blue Buffalo. Checked out the nutritional info and yep, Hill’s is a bit higher in carbs. Not ideal if you ask me, especially for indoor cats that aren’t super active (my furball).
Also, it irks me how pricey this stuff can get. Granted, my vet swears by it for its high-quality ingredients and balanced nutrition, but I can’t shake off the feeling that there could be alternatives out there that do the job just as well but cost less.
Just my two cents! Remember, what works (or doesn’t) for my cat might not be the same for yours. Every fur baby is unique in their own way! 🐱♥️
