Have you ever wondered why so many cats are developing kidney disease? This health concern has lead me on a search for the answer. Here is a possibility that I found: http://tedeboy.tripod.com/drmichaelwfox/id88.html "Purina Research Report presented at the 1998 Purina Nutritional Forum held on 4-6 June 1998 says under the heading "Nutrition and Renal Function" that 80% of cats with kidney failure have metabolic acidosis and goes on to say "….it is likely that the high incidence of uremic acidosis in cats relates, at least in part, to the acidifying nature of many cat foods. It has been speculated that routine use of acidifying diets may contribute to the relatively high incidence of chronic renal failure observed in cats over the past decade". The paper says that alkalizing to counteract all the acidifiers the pet food companies put into the pet food reduces mortality. Therefore the pet food companies are to blame for the high incidence of kidney failure in cats because they load the pet food with carbohydrate and this alkalises the urine which was found to be causing struvite which stops cats passing urine and can kill them within 24 hours if they are not catheterized and taken off dry food altogether and because of this the pet food companies began putting acidifiers such as DL Methionine into the dry pet food but this has been found to be causing metabolic acidosis which can cause kidney failure and calcium oxalate stones in the kidneys which can cause kidney failure. The Purina paper says that acidifying pet food does not cause kidney failure in dogs as much as it does in cats although it does cause kidney failure in dogs too." So, it is best for your cat to not feed dry food. But if you are going to feed dry kibbles, you should select one with low carbohydrates and NO grains, which can lead to other health issues. You can purchase grain free foods with high meat protein levels that the equally priced to the poorer quality foods. Your cat will also eat less of the higher quality foods because they contain more meat. Additional links for the protein, fat, carbohydrates in most CANNED and DRY cat foods. |
