    Has anyone tried Dave's Cat Food brand and if so, did you cat do well on it? I'm thinking of trying the 95% chicken & chicken liver formula but want to make sure it's a good food to give my diabetic cat. https://www.chewy.com/daves-pet-food-95-premium-meat-grain/dp/51465

    I usually feed her Fancy Feast Classic (which she loves but I heard FF changed their formula so it's higher in carbs and also I hate that FF doesn't come in bigger cans) and Nature's Variety Instinct Wet Food.

    Would love to hear opinions from those who've tried this food and also what flavors your cat liked best.

    Dave's foods are fine for a diabetic cat

    I heard that too...but while it is true that they fiddled with it a little, it hasn't made any difference in China's numbers. She is still eating Fancy Feast

    It caused some cats to have some loose stools, but the carb percentage is still OK for sugarcats

    ECID....if your cat likes it and it doesn't cause any problems, there's no reason you can't continue to feed it

    Just note that the varieties of Daves' canned in Dr P's chart does not include the variety in Tia's link.
