catsHi everyone!
Bridey (in icon) has food sensitivities, so the vet has prescribed Royal Canin alternate protein prescription foods. They use atypical meats that hopefully she won't have sensitivities to, and they are supposed to be easy to digest. The available flavors are venison, rabbit, and duck. They cost about $1/oz - $5 for a 5 oz can that lasts her a day and a half. I have to order them from chewy.com at $127/case.
And then she barely eats them and I just throw them away when they crust over. She eats the kibble.
She *kind of* likes the rabbit. She hates the duck. I thought she hated the venison, but when I gave her some of that after a day of disgusting duck, she ate some of the venison. Otherwise only the rabbit got a very positive response but she gets bored of it easily.
If I buy some Wellness brand turkey and put down, she eats it all.
I am thinking of either buying two cases - one rabbit, one venison - and switching them up OR just giving up and going back to the Wellness. Only the Wellness does make her sinus issues flare up and she starts sneezing.
My question is if anyone else has had experiences with the Royal Canin prescription and if cats got used to it or if you mixed it in or what? Thoughts or ideas welcome!
Note: There is no actual medicine in this food: it's just supposed to not trigger her sensitivities. Not sure why it's prescription as there's no drug in it.
