*I stopped feeding Mazy (SK) PMR because she started regurgitating it so often. I have no idea why but I got tired of cleaning up raw puke. No matter how tiny I minced it or how small I made the portions and spread them out.
PS The foods "until they get used up" on the list were of course part of trials, but as I learned more and more about pet foods they were discarded. However since my financial circumstances have changed, and I had not yet given those particular foods away yet, they've been brought back into the rotation until they are gone. I just can no longer afford to give away close to $300 worth of cat food.
Since I buy by the case, and buy large quantities on sale, last year I ended up shipping off (using USPS flat rate shipping boxes) or dropping off at the shelter probably close to $1000 worth of canned foods -Before Grain, Merrick, Wellness and By Nature 95%, because of the carrageenan in them. I can't afford to do that any more.
