Another good wet food to give lactating queens is Applaws Chicken and Pumpkin. Natural Pumpkin helps bring on the milk supply www. mpmproducts.co.uk

Our two studs both have reactions to any foods with corn in so we feed them Eagle Pack Holistic Duck and Rice. It's mail order next day delivery. Not cheap but the amount they require is less than most dry foods so balances out. It's really good. www.postalpetproducts.co.uk

As well as our breeding cattery, we have four neuter pets, two bengals and two tonkinese. Our tonk girl have developed severe food allergies over the past couple of years and lost considerable amounts of weight. No prescription food helps and she is also a very picky eater. What we have found works best for her is to regularly swap the foods. E.g. we will feed, say, James Wellbeloved Lamb and Rice dry and she is fine, her stools firm up. After a couple of weeks she starts reacting to the food and gets very sloppy. So we change her over to another food and all goes well for a couple of weeks and off we go again. She will not touch raw.

If you are interested in feeding a raw diet that is balanced for cats Natures Menu make a ready pack of raw meat Natures Menu Natural Dog Food & Natural Cat Food | Feeding as Nature Intended

Hi Sue,

Thats really good information i tried the kitten 34 on my lot and it made their tummies really bad, with the baby cat i found they are ok, i do like the queen from RC but my whole salers don't sell it and other than going to RC direct do you know were i could get some as i hear its the bee's knee's in the dry food department for pregnant queens.

Kindest regards Laura
