New Member - Carb Count in Special Kitty Pate

I read in this group that Walmart's Special Kitty Classic Pate 13 oz is lower in carbs but couldn't find it listed on the Cat Food - Nutritional Composition Chart by Dr. Pierson. It comes in different flavors and I would like to know the breakdown of each. My diabetic kitty is happy with his low carb pate, but I need something less expensive for all my outdoor stray furbabies. They're missing their usual dry food something terrible but I'm hoping they will like Special Kitty. Thanks for all you do!

 

Hi and welcome! I’m not sure if the special kitty on this list is the one you are talking about? The list is a few years old now, but have a look at the third tab in the SS.

I don't see it on your list, Christie. I have read some old posts where it was recommended because of the lower carbs and for value. I was wondering how they knew it was lower in carbs if it wasn't on Dr. Pierson's list. I also read that Walmart never responded to Dr. Pierson's request for carb count, but maybe they have by now. Others were not using it because of rebate warnings in previous years. I would also like to know what the status of the recommendation is now. Thanks!

 

Oh sorry, Ann, it's a bit weird, the SS open source to the Canadian tab, but if you look at the bottom of the SS, there is a second tab for ingredients and photos, then a third tab called US Special Kitty for Lucy.

I can see Chunky chicken and tuna, mixed grill and turkey&giblet. When I get back on my desktop computer, I'll try and copy an excerpt, if you still can't see it. I'm on my iPad at the moment.

 

I found the section you're referring to but it may not be Walmart's Special Kitty brand. If I'm reading it correctly, it states 22oz and 1% carbs, but Walmart's is only 13oz. There are probably other cat food Special Kitty products.

 

Ah, bummer, I had hoped that was the same food. Well, if you are feeling particularly math-y tonight, you can calculate it yourself, per the following handy info:
