Pet Plus supplement and Back to Nature food

kozykatz · #1 (**permalink**) 17-10-2008, 02:42 PM

I think someone on this forum has mentioned Pet Plus (sorry, can't remember who or which thread it was) - i've just been looking at the website and was a bit concerned to see what it actually contains.

amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, glucoamylase and taurine in a whole food base of alfalfa, barley, wheat grass, garlic, flax seed and safflower.

garlic is toxic to cats, and they don't really need any of the other ingredients. I'd been thinking of getting some - I certainly won't bother now.

Re. Back To Nature - someone on another group has posted about this, it seems to be a new range of raw frozen meats for pets - there is a website at Superior Raw Pet Food By Back to Nature but only the first page is functional at present. Just wondered if anyone on here knew anything about it?

That was me, and I've been using it for years no problem. It was developed by a vet.

Yes, i noticed it was developed by a vet (from Bristol Uni, where i went!)
but a vet should know that garlic is toxic to cats

Well don't use it then, I am happy with it, and will continue to recommend it. I have seen the benefits that it makes to a cats coat and general health

I think I might know who it is thats doing it. I'll find out and post back, but if it's who I think it is, they have been researching into this for a while before starting up. They have pedigree cats too, so only want the best like many of us

interesting..... it;s just been on the other group that it's the same people wo used to do Yeomans meat.
so perhaps the people you're thinking of are starting yet another company! The more choice the better

Ahhh, rt, maybe it's not who I was thinking of then, lol. I'll still ask though

Thanks, that's useful to know. Must do my own research now!

I understand people's concern about garlic and the association of heinz body anemia. I did a little research of my own about the subject a couple of years ago and was interested to hear one vet say that she thought the whole garlic issue is blown terribly out of proportion due to guilt by association with onions which contain a much higher concentration of disulfides. The garlic rule applies to RAW garlic and not cooked. It is the disulfides in garlic and onions which pose a problem and although Onion has a VERY high concentration of disulfides a cat would have to eat an entire bulb of garlic several times a week to get the same disulfide levels found in onion. There may be conflicting information out there, and it's ultimately up to everyone to take responsibility for what they feed their own cats, but I am satisfied that the amount of garlic in Pet Plus is safe and, as I've said, my two cats are rude with health.
