[quote=Anonymous]The American College of Veterinary Nutritionists are qualified, practicing veterinarians who've taken additional training to become board-certified veterinary nutritionists. I like BalanceIt.com posted by the doctor who taught at the University of California at Davis Veterinary School and now runs the Davis Veterinary Medical Consultancy. Their website allows one to design a diet for one's pet, see how it isn't complete and balanced, and remedy it. They consult with primary care vets and with pet owners. I have been without a cat now for about ten weeks. Lifelong ailurophile. Am not getting another cat until I know how to feed it properly. If you * really want to know * the technical details, you can spring for Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats, part of the Animal Nutrition Series, published by the National Research Council of the National Academies. It's about $150 published locally in Sterling, VA. If you're determined to go canned, look into The Honest Kitchen. Also Ayrshire Farms, in the Virginia horse country. I believe the high quality food I fed my last cat sickened him and contributed to his premature death. I plan to make my own cat food at home, and feed him nothing but. But only upon the advice of DVMC and using BalanceIt supplements. Oh yeah...canines and humans are omnivores. Their nutritional needs are different, they can eat a wider assortment of foods with biological benefit, than can felines. It's pay now or pay later. Speaking of felines here, *the best* food one can feed them comes from the butcher at Whole Foods, not from the "pet food" aisle. But it's *your* pet, do what you will. Just be aware that the marketing blather of a $72 billion dollar industry has us all believing a lot of claims that just aren't true. You can also spring for the Association of American Feed Control Officials 2018 Publication. About $120. if you really want to know. Pay attention to their definition of what those "foods" in those cans really are. They aren't the prime quality things humans eat. Cross reference that with Susan Thixton's works. [/quote]
