What kind of wet food brand's have you tried? have you tried only pate style or only gravy style? Cat's can be rather finicky, so try different styles of canned food, and different grain free brand's

 

She won't try the 'good' stuff because they don't add the flavorings and the lots of other garbage that the 'lesser' foods add. That's why we call that stuff, kitty crack.

Kids would rather eat only candy, soda and ice cream because it tastes better than vegetables but.... they shouldn't live on that stuff. :wink

 

LOL I really like this answer. I'm always telling my cat that he's as picky as my kids.

 

Instincts, duck, Rabbit and chicken are a hit with my crew.


Cats in the kitchen pouches are another hit mine love the duck and chicken.


Before grain is kinda so so


Addictions I have yet to try. By nature I have yet to try.

 

just keep trying the best thing to do is weed out all dry and just wait... and use the brands I subjested, hunger will win over in the long run.


Thats what I did with Bindi and he's eating better then he's ever had in his life.

 

Yeah, that's what i've read about dry food for cat's, it's basically like crack to them. Luckily, i did research early in Rocky's life, and he's been on wet food since he was a young baby I would presume it's just going to have to be trial and error mostly, until you find something that your cat enjoys. You can also try sprinkling bonito flakes on top of the wet food, bonito flakes really help stimulate your cat's appetite and would possibly get her to eat the wet food

 

Orijen is a really good dry if you have to feed dry chuck n dons pet food outlet carries it.

 

There aren't any "Chuck n' Don's" in my area, and I have never seen Orijen brand in any pet store around here!

 

Have you read any of these articles:

They have a lot of tricks and idea's on how to get finicky cats to switch over to canned

Most are from sites that promote raw feeding, but the same things work well to switch from dry to canned!

 

I spent 3 months getting Evie to eat wet food... Then she developed chronic diarrhoea. She stopped eating wet, I was rather irritated. Through several vet visits and an elimination diet we've worked out that she is intolerant to a protein in chicken (and possibly in lamb, we're discovering). To get her back on suitable wet food, I had to spend a fortnight sprinkling fish food on top of it. I also tried freeze dried fish, which worked too. I believe tuna juice or sprinkled ground biscuits do too. I know what you're going through though, but keep at it- Evie is on all wet now.

Orijen is a great dry food. I ordered my online, infact I have an unopened 2.5kg bag in the cupboard (seeing as it's chicken I can't feed it to Evie, and if I gave it to Mitzi, Evie would still eat it as she's a kitty hoover).

 

This thread is totally relevant to my picky eater! I just ordered a bag of bonito flakes.
