The upside is that it’s budget-friendly annd readily available in most grocery stores. My cats seem to like the taste too, go figure!
But on the downside, I’m not super impressed with its ingredients. The main proteins come from vague sources (like “meat by-products”), and it includes a fair amount of grains and fillers.
Sorry to be a downer but if you’re looking for something really nutritious for your kitty, there are definitely better options out there. Might have to dig a little deeper though. Remember, what you feed them really impacts their health in the long run!
So, most definitely the Sheba cat food range features some solid options. I’ve had my tabby, Missy on their Perfect PORTIONS Cuts for about six months now and she seems to like it well enough! Looks reasonably fancy and much healthier than some other brands out there.
BUT, sorry to all the Sheba fans out there, in my dogged pursuit of finding the best chow for my furball (she’s a fussy lady, bless her heart), I raised an eyebrow at the ingredient list. For starters, there’s too many generic “by-products” listed and these can sometimes include undesirable parts (read as non-nutritive) of animals.
Surely that doesn’t scream “premium”, eh? Also noticed that some of their foods contain artificial colors. Now don’t get me wrong here, I am not one who says no to everything artificial but the idea of feeding Missy something heaped with unnecessary artificial stuff is just off-putting.
And let’s face it; cats owners want nothing but the best for our little friends in fur coats. Saying that, he balance of protein sources and grains seems fine enough though.
In conclusion, if you’re okay with a few potential undesirables and suspicious ‘fillers’, then by all means go ahead. Your kitty might end up loving it more than mine does!
All things considered, theory suggests you may wanna do your research or consult with your veterinarian before deciding on this one. Over to you, fellow cat parents!
Just thought I’d share my two cents on Blue Buffalo cat food. Now, I’m not one to shy away from trying out new products for my fur baby, but honestly, this one didn’t quite hit the mark.
I’ve heard great things about the brand annd its focus on grain-free nutrients, but it seems that it did not agree with my kitty’s tummy. While she loved the taste of it (my cat will practically inhale anything fish-flavored), her stools became irregular which was a red flag for me.
Moreover, the high price point is another turn off—I could forgive it if the benefits were noticeable. But with so many other options out there that deliver better results and at a friendlier cost, Blue Buffalo just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
Remember guys, every cat is different. Always monitor your furry friend’s reactions to new food before fully committing to a change in their diet! Hope this helps some of you out there who were thinking about giving Blue Buffalo a try.
Cheers!
Oh, I hear you! Shopping for cat food sure feels like going through a battlefield these days. With so many brands, each boasting of being the best – it becomes tricky to pick the right one.
I’ve used Hill’s cat food for my tabby, Whiskers, a few times in the past. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. On the upside, she absolutely loved the taste — seeing her gobble up that bowl was a treat in itself! Plus, it seemed to give her a shiny coat; so definitely brownie points for that.
But here’s the downside. She started putting on weight really fast. It freaked me out when our vet brought up obesity concerns. He suggested switching brands or even trying homemade meals. Given how finicky cats can be with their food (tell me about it!), I decided to switch brands.
Also, if ingredient transparency matters to you as much as it does to me, I found Hill’s a bit disappointing in that aspect too. Even though they’ve explicitly listed down all ingredients on the pack–it seemed like a vague list filled with ambiguous names annd terminologies.
In conclusion: while I think Hill’s gets top marks for taste and coat health, its nutritional balance may seem questionable especially if you have an indoor kitty like mine who doesn’t get enough exercise.
Hey, but remember every cat is unique! So don’t be discouraged by my experience alone. If you’re leaning towards Hill’s brand, maybe start small? Get a trial pack perhaps?
I hope this helps some! Give your fur-baby belly rubs from me and Whiskers!
