|Fixed the diabetes, surprisingly good quality.,
After doing a ton of research, it turns out that in almost all dry food and even the most expensive brands of wet food are often way, WAY too high in carbs for an obligate carnivore. Many forums suggested to look into Fancy Feast and Sheba pates (and ONLY the pates) for diabetic cats as even better alternatives than diabetic-specific formulas.
My cat has been exclusively living off of Sheba pate varieties, with occasional Fancy Feast if I need to get something quickly from the drug store for her. After some insulin treatments for a few months and getting her on a proper diet of this food, she is now in remission and no longer requires insulin shots – just from diet control. She loves the flavors, and it was super easy to switch her off of her beloved dry food (and Fancy Feast, which I had started her on).
I had a great experience calling the company, asking specifics about the protein and carb content of the various flavors/varieties. Sheba also seems to be a bit less heavy on putting liver in their formula compared to Fancy Feast, and they are also much more specific about the type of animal the meat is coming off of. The seafood formulas are sourced according to the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch recommendations, which I appreciate.
One weird thing – I’m pretty sure that the “Chicken” and “Chicken and Liver” formulas are actually identical. Weird marketing?
So, if you think you’re doing your cat well by feeding it Wellness, Evo, Science Diet, Buffalo Blue, Fromm, etc, etc – you may want to do a little research. Things that sound like great, healthy, balanced-diet ingredients for humans can land your cat into being a diabetic. Meanwhile, this great grocery-store brand is out there doing exactly the right thing. Thanks!

|grain free and 3 of my cats like it,
I’m pleased to report that it was a success. The cat I gave it to liked it very much and he ate it quickly. Another two cats lined up to lick his bowl afterwards. I gave it to him again the next day and it was the same story. So, taste-wise, I’m going to count this one as a success.
It’s also fairly good from an ingredients standpoint. All Sheba cats foods are free of corn and other grains. Here are the first few ingredients: Beef, Meat Broth, Meat By-Products, Chicken Liver, Chicken, Poultry By-Products. (Of course there are more, including other flavorings and vitamins. But I’m pleased that everything up front is meat or poultry-based.) This is somewhat similar to the Fancy Feast Classic Tender Beef Feast, although that has fish ingredients and this one has chicken ingredients.
The Sheba Beef Paté also would be good for cats with dental problems as it does not seem to require much chewing.
I would generally not advise feeding beef to cats with inflammatory bowel disease (who shouldn’t have beef or poultry), but since this is grain free, I am considering keeping some around for emergencies when my IBD cat stops eating his pricier food. This is also a strong contender for the wet food I decide on for my first reluctant wet-food eater. All-in-all, this is a decent food that could easily form part or all of the diet of a healthy cat.

|Good, but is it the best?,
Having the joy that is a picky cat, I’ve tried several cat foods on the market, though this has been a bit hard as I am picky about what my cat eats. Making sure he gets the best food is important to me because I want to keep his picky little tush with us as long as possible. Cats don’t need a food that is full of corn, wheat, or soy. Still, a large portion of cat foods on the market use these and other fillers as the main ingredients in their pet foods. Another feature of cheap, bad food is that it’s filled with by-products rather than actual meat. Feathers and beaks don’t exactly rate high on any list when it comes to good sources of protein. The ingredient list for this food is fairly good, though not the best. I have a problem with the fact that potatoes are the second ingredient and peas are fourth and ninth. Peas and potatoes are used in place of corn, soy, or wheat as filler and while they offer some nutrition, it isn’t at a high enough level to make up for the sheer volume. Solid Gold tries to skirt around this by claiming the peas are for fiber, but fiber also comes from the potatoes. Too much fiber can lead to increased bowel movements (in size and number per day), diarrhea, and gas, just to name a few. Pea and potato fibers are also of the insoluble type, which is not as healthy for a pet as soluble fiber because it speeds up food through the digestive tract. This decreases the amount of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your cat gets from their food, prohibits the fiber from absorbing and binding higher amounts of toxins produced in the gut and then excreting them in feces, and less fiber is broken down into helpful and important fatty acids which help prevent an overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria. You can see why a food with real meat and balanced nutrients but full of insoluble fibers is incredibly counterproductive.
I also don’t like that canola oil is the THIRD ingredient. Canola oil, especially highly processed inorganic canola oil, is not a necessary part of a cat’s diet (though it is used here to provide the omega 3 and 6 acids in the food), and makes this particular formula one of the highest in fat and calories that Solid Gold offers. The omegas that are present in canola oil are, however, less biologically available to cats than those from sources such as fish or flaxseed oil. Maybe I’d be more comfortable if this ingredient were much further down the list, but considering that ingredients are listed in order of weight, I don’t think I would have chosen to try this particular food if I had noticed this. The fault is mine because I have heard good things about Solid Gold and let that sway my opinion instead of doing the proper research. Also, with such a high oil content I wonder if people have issues with the food going rancid in warmer weather. (Side note: There is a big debate about the danger of canola oil, how much processing it goes through, what that much processing does to the oil, and just how bad it might be for animals and humans. Of the little research there is, most is decades old and newer research is often sponsored by proponents of their side of the argument and not a neutral scientific body. Our vet was a little hesitant about giving her blessing on this food because of the high oil content even though it could be beneficial. As our cat suffers from bouts of constipation due to his age, she okayed mixing this with his current food to see if the higher oil content could help alleviate some of this in lieu of dosing with flaxseed oil).
So with a bit of reservation, I did offer this food to Mr. Picky Pants.The food itself is unremarkable. Uniform in size and color, not particularly stinky. I mixed it at a 3:1 ratio (with his current food being the highest component), and he ate several bites before turning away. While not an unqualified success, this was actually a good thing because he didn’t just sniff it and try to bury it like has has most brands and types of foods I’ve tried to get him interested in over the years. He’s not a young kitty anymore (he’s 19), so it’s important that he gets great nutrition to keep him as healthy as possible. He’s been noshing on this new mix for a couple days now, and it’s likely too early to tell if the higher oil content will help his constipation. There haven’t been any unwanted gastric side effects like gas or throwing up. In a few days I will change the ratio to 2:1 to see if that gets things ‘moving’ along. He’s been given oral doses of organic flaxseed oil before on direction from the vet, but that is never a fun event for anyone involved.
While the Solid Gold brand for cats has not been subject to recalls in the last several years, its parent company Diamond Pet Food hasn’t been so lucky. It is a plus that Solid Gold claims to not import any of its ingredients from Chinese suppliers, though I could not find any information on whether or not those suppliers import from Chinese suppliers. They…

|My cats love it.,
All of my cats seemed to like it and I have a few cats as you can see in the photos I’ve posted with this review. This bag was only enough for one feeding around here. Miss “meany” cat wanted it all for herself, so I had to try to keep her away so the others could try it. None of the cats turned their noses up at it, so it was a big hit here. I promise I’m not a crazy cat lady. In fact, I’m actually allergic to cats. But I tend to rescue animals and take in any animal that shows up hungry, so here they are. I feed them, have them spayed and neutered and try to give them a good comfortable life as best I can.

|Dogs have masters…….Cats have slaves,
Let me explain. I usually have a well-behaved, Maine Coon cat with the name of THE GENERAL. Normally he never jumps on my kitchen table nor does he chew/claw through sacks. I guess Pollock smells good to a cat. First, he either knocked it to the floor and then chewed it open or more likely did the chewing on the table and then knocked it to the floor. My reasoning in this is how far it scattered.
What I do know for sure, I have found what he likes! And, from what I read, I have found something good for him also. This is a huge cat….overall, not just in weight. This seems to be very filling to him as his self-feeding bowl does not go lower as fast as it did before. He seems to be satisfied with less. He has huge paws and will pick up a piece of food and eat it out of his own paw. Man, I LOVE THAT CAT!
This may cost more and I certainly had not heard of it before but I have added it by name to my grocery list. You know that old saying, don’t you?
Well, look at my Headline again.
