    Food problems

    Help !
    our 16 week old Maine Coon was weaned on royal cannin maine coon kitten but we have found it upsets his tummy. The vet thinks that he may be intolerant to cereal and suggested we try Applaws. So that's what we've done but he does not seem keen on it. Has anyone else had a similar problem and can recommend a dry food that's cereal free & provides enough nutrients for a baby maine coon ? I am conscious that as a growing boy he needs to eat well.
    sorry but I just can't do wet or raw food

    mmm sorry I don't know dry foods so well, mine is hooked to the Royal Canin and I am actually trying to get her to eat more wet food - at the moment she's all into Encore chicken - from reading a lot of threads on this forum, I have become more and more convinced that wet food is the best... sorry if I'm prying but can you tell us, if you don't mind, why can't you do wet food?

    A lot of cats are intolerant to cereals because as carnivores they don't have the digestion to process cereals in large quantities. They also need moisture in their food so a good quality grain-free wet food would be better (and raw better still). Shop around and see if you can find any that you can both accept. If you are in the UK, zooplus is a good place to start.
