Years ago, the vet told us to never give cats canned Whiskas because it cause urinary problems.

You might want to take them off all store bought pet foods. Our dogs (yes, I know this is a cat thread) were chewing themselves down to raw bloody flesh and the current vet kept insisting it was fleas but could never find any. The chewing and miserableness was worse when they were on Pedigree so we went to other name brands like Purina. Nothing from China. They continued to chew. Recently, I’ve taken them off all store bought food and treats and have been making them rice with proteins and veggies aka people food. They were healing fine, their coats were softer and shiny and no more chewing until hubby gave them some dog bones and it immediately started up again.

One of the cats’ ears can’t seem to knock an allergy infection so I’m thinking of putting them on the same rice and people food diet as the dogs.

Absolutely, if you want them to live long and be happy.
