Finally, I have found food for Maddy that helps her to lose weight! I have been searching for YEARS. Every “diet” food we tried did not work. She even gained weight on that pricey food you buy at the vet’s office. Can you believe it?
The miracle food is Blue Buffalo Weight Control. She likes it but is not in love with it. This is the key. If she was in love with her food, she would inhale it and continue to balloon as she has all these years.
I also switched Kiki to Blue Buffalo’s Healthy Aging food. Ironically, Kiki had been losing weight lately. She had been eating the same weight control food I formerly gave Maddy. Kiki likes the Healthy Aging formula and has regained some of the weight she lost.
In addition to the dry food, I give both cats 1/8 can each of Newman’s Own organic cat food each evening. They consider it a treat. It introduces more water into the diet, which is always a good thing.
I am not sure how much weight Maddy has lost, but it is noticeable. I plan to take her to the vet next month for a follow-up visit. You may recall she had some issues a couple of months ago that prompted a visit. Her glucose levels were way too high. Hopefully, her new diet has lowered her glucose levels to a normal level. I will keep you posted. Fingers crossed, she is on the way to a healthier lifestyle.
