ACANA Indoor Cat 4LB

Cats love this dry food! It’s gone in minutes! Replace numerous times daily! Make your cat HAPPY!

My extremely picky Maine Coon likes it. I use this one and the indoor cat flavors of the same brand in rotation.

This is the best product ever, my cats love it. I actually have too buy some more. After a week you noticed my cat being more active. It was so nice seeing her move around and jumping.the ingredients are very clean my cats did not get sick as I transition them.

Really good food for my cat!

I was pretty happy with the dry food I had been feeding my two cats, but I wanted to give them something with more protein and fewer grains. Wet food just wasn’t realistic for me long term, so I thought this would be a healthier upgrade. I transitioned them slowly over two weeks like you’re supposed to. A few days into the switch, my male cat started having blood in his urine. I was worried, so I immediately switched him to wet food and a urinary supplement. His symptoms improved significantly, so I thought he was better. I tried reintroducing this food again, and within just one day his bleeding was much worse and he could barely pee. I rushed him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with a urinary infection and put on antibiotics. (I suspect crystals had already started forming by this point, I later learned crystals can be difficult to show up reliably in the an urinalysis.) I switched him back to wet food again, and he improved so much that he seemed almost back to normal. I wish I had stopped there. I tried this food one more time, and within 24 hours he became completely blocked. He had to be hospitalized. After $1,500 in emergency care, the vets found his urethra was packed with crystals. He almost died. We still don’t know if he’ll avoid surgery, and if he survives, he’ll be on a prescription urinary diet for life (just like another reviewer). Watching him go through this has been terrifying and heartbreaking. At the same time, my female cat also started showing symptoms, just more slowly. She began peeing outside the litter box, licking herself obsessively, and sometimes yowling in pain. She refuses wet food, so I switched her back to her old food and started a urinary supplement. Thankfully, she’s now back to normal. I confirmed with my vet that my male cat’s infection could not have been passed to her. The only thing that changed for either of them was this food. My vet even noted that it was strange both cats were affected when nothing else in their routine had changed, and said this food may very well have been the cause. Afterward, I looked up more reviews and realized I was not alone with the crystal issue. I also learned that higher protein foods can concentrate urine and increase the risk of crystals, especially in male cats, who are already more vulnerable. With both of my cats reacting badly, and food being the only change in their routine, I am convinced this product caused this nightmare. Please learn from my experience. A $50 BAG OF CAT FOOD IS NOT WORTH THE RISK. If you do try this food, please watch your cat’s litter box habits very closely: any straining, frequent trips, or blood in the urine is a medical emergency. If you have a male cat, or a cat prone to urinary issues, I beg you to stay far away from this food. I may lose my cat because of this food, and I wish more than anything that I had seen a review like this before it was too late.
