Purely Fancy Feast - anyone contact company about these?

[LaraB]

I think we may have hit upon a chunky, non-pate food that all of our cats will eat - the Purely Fancy Feast White Meat Chicken in particular. Going by the GA on the package, it calculated out around 8.3% calories from carbs. Ingredient-wise, I'm not seeing anything that would suggest any starch or vegetable-protein. (Link to the Fancy Feast page here with more info).

Has anyone ever contacted the company for "as-fed" values on this particular line? What did you find out if you did? From what I understand, this was a rework of their Appetizer line into a complete meal - ingredients were changed. If no one has, I would certainly be willing to contact them to see if they'd provide that info. Some of the ones I calculated from the GA values were above 10%, but looking at the ingredients, I suspect the real carb values may be lower.

Granted, this stuff isn't necessarily cheap, but it's easily available here.

Hm..unless I missed something, I didn't see it on Dr. Lisa Pierson's food guide at catinfo.org and she's done a pretty complete line. But there are always new additions coming out..as you mentioned, reformulations or just plain New Stuff.

Whatever is healthy and works ..at this point expense is a moot point, at least for me. Now my Dottie is not only a beloved furchild, she's an investment! I WANT A RETURN! I want Dottie to live for a 20 years so I get my money back! (Just kidding..Dottie only needs to live 15 years. By then I figure I'll be dead anyway, and Hubby can put both our ashes into the same urn. Please note: There's only room in my urn, for me and the furkids, so he'll have to get his own urn. )
Besides..the cost of that food might be a a good trade-off in other ways. (Example: No need to touch whole dead bird bodies, or any other sad little critters who come delivered with their faces still attached.)

From the ingredient like for the tuna one
tongol tuna, fish broth, skipjack tuna, sunflower seed oil, calcium lactate, tricalcium phosophate, guar gum, xanthan gum, choline chloride, taurine, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, magnesium sulfate, niacin, vitamin e supplement, calcium pantothenate, vitamin a supplement, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, potassium iodide, folic acid, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin k activity), biotin, vitamin B-12 supplement
it should be very low carb

This line seemed to come out after a lot of the carb food lists were last updated, but looking at the ingredient list made me hopeful. I may go ahead and contact Fancy Feast and see if they can provide some numbers.

 

[Melanie and Smokey]

This appears to me to be the appetizers line, with added vitamins to make it a "complete" food now. There doesn't appear to be anything in it but meat, oil, and vitamin/mineral fortification so the carb content should be pretty low.

Thank you for the information my cats live this!
