EQUILIBRE ET INSTINCT pet food

Ange, the reason the ash content is so low in this dry food is precisely because of the grains. It makes sense—if there’s not much meat, there’s bound to be very little ash, simple as that.

The only grain that could even be considered acceptable is rice.

Why give our pets grains full of gluten when more and more humans (who are actually built to digest them) are becoming gluten intolerant?

At the moment, my cat is eating Royal Canin dry food which is 35% protein. There is starch, admittedly, but Peluche just can't handle grain-free food because of a very sensitive stomach.

Grains have a part to play and aren't harmful if they're high quality and prepared properly.

For me, the main thing isn't whether there are grains or not; it's that meat is the primary ingredient and of good quality.

With brands like Virbac, Royal Canin, Hill's or Pro Plan, for example, there are still some varieties where meat isn't the main ingredient, but not all of them. If you do a bit of digging, you'll see these brands have come a long way.

It's the same with Nutrivet if you look into it:

For the umpteenth time, we are asking you to stop hijacking other members' posts with this never-ending and pointless debate about food. Far from helping those looking for advice, you’re just driving them away!

It’s easy to use such ridiculous examples... It’s pure bad faith.

In the past, animals that lived only underwater evolved to be able to live on land – isn't that a bit mad? That’s evolution for you...

I’m done wasting my time (once again...)

I hope I'm not the one who ends up getting warnings or a ban.

"You talk about freedom of speech but you don't let others have it"

Actually, I do; for that matter, I've never disagreed with your advice on meat-based dry food, have I? :)

People need to stop saying I'm in favour of grain-based dry food because that's completely untrue, and that I'm against meat; you'll have to understand that eventually.

Dry food should be meat-based, high quality, and suit the cat – that's the MAIN thing.

And finally, I'll say it once more: I respect everyone's choice.

Every time you chime in on a thread and someone disagrees with you, it always ends badly with PMs from the mods and bans...

You need to take a long hard look at yourself; you talk about freedom of speech but you don't let anyone else have any...
