Okay, I'm really sorry to bring up the "by-product" issue again but I would like some help. I am trying to convince my boyfriend to switch our cats' food. He will not listen to the testimony of "forum people" so having him read that old thread won't do any good. What he needs is scientific evidence that "chicken by-product meal" isn't good for cats or that the premium cat foods are better. Can anyone direct me to studies or a vet website that will state this?
He also believes that even the premium cat foods have by-products in them, they are just called something different so as to convince the consumer to buy them. I also need evidence to prove this argument of his to be false too. Showing him the ingredient list that says "Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brown Rice, Duck, Lamb Meal..." etc doesn't work for him because I tried this yesterday at the pet store heh.
He is a scientist. He won't take hearsay as evidence so I need to direct him to the information so that he can read it and decide for himself.
Thanks for your help,
