Mom, I bought Natural Logic for my kitties a couple weeks ago.My two boys have done OK on it, but my little girl has trouble. First couple of days, she threw it back up. We phased it in, and are still doing so. Most of the time she seems to be tolerating the NaturalLogic if we only add a few pieces of it to her Iams. Granted, the guy at the health food store told us they will probably throw it up at first, so to be sure to phase it in slowly. Otherwise, they like it. Have you had any similar problems or has it been A-OK?
One of my kittys is already elderly and has a mass in his abdomen. Testing has not shown conclusively it is cancer, but I didn’t want to do exploratorey surgery at his age to find out. He’s had it for a while and I am able to keep him feeling good with fluids, vitamins, slippery elm bark etc...
I was worried about gastrointestinal problems, but Scott at the Nature’s Logic co. told me to expect it when you change their food. (If you call their 800 number he will consult with you—he’s very knowledgable about pet diets.) I’ve had a few spit ups, but I am going to give it another week before I worry too much. Are you using canned or dry? I’ve tried both—they seem to like the dry better. Arizona Carolyn suggests a raw diet, which they sell as well, but I’m worried about parasites and the fragile state my old guy is in.
Reason I ask is when we switched our youngest cocker to her raw diet she would eat and then vomit... she was just under a year old and a gulper and had eaten kibble all her life... it was very frustrating because I never had a problem with any other dogs before her.
Finally I bought babyfood meat and started giving her baby food and pureed babyfood vegetables and she kept that down, then I slowly started adding in the food I wanted her to eat and she kept it down, if I tried to go to fast she vomited and we started all over again.... finally her system (with the help of some homeopaty and slippery elm) settled down and now she eats with the best of them...
Lady was a good learning lesson to me... like people, not all dogs (or cats) are the same and with some we have to take it a little slower...
