I took her advice because she thought she noticed a mild heart murmur during her first visit almost 2 years ago (but hasn’t noticed it since) and at another appointment she commen...

Is Mercury a problem in cat food with tuna?
My cats love Nulo, a food that earned a good score on Cats.com reviews. I notice that tuna is the 4th ingredient so I understand that it may be a small amount. But is it really ok to have them eat this every day? What about mercury buildup in their little bodies? Has this been studied?

My cats like raw best, but one will only eat kidney or liver. I try not to give too much liver due to Vitamin A abundance in it. Neither like their food minced but will only eat it diced. The boy Timmy will pick out kidney from any mix and leave the rest. To solve this, and to make sure he gets cal...

My cat won’t try any foods.
Hello!
I have a cat that’s been a particular pain to feed. When I first got her, the previous owner had fed dry food with a specific flavor of Friskies wet food. Over the years, I had gotten her to eat a different dry food, but until recently, no other wet food. Late last year I finally found a dif...

Can I feed my cat wet food AND dry food?
Hi! I have a year-old (almost two!) tortoiseshell cat who my vet has deemed overweight.
