16  Dry and Wet Foods / General Discussion about Dry and Wet Packaged Foods / Michael's Stew For Dogs: no product website? on: May 13, 2009, 03:33:34 PM
Am I missing something obvious?  I typed in the product names in Google and the only sites that came up were food retailers (like petfooddirect).  Does anyone know if Michael's Stew has a website?  Has anyone tried this food or knows anything about it?

Thank you,
Lady Jemima

18  Dry and Wet Foods / General Discussion about Dry and Wet Packaged Foods / Natural Life: subsidary of a larger company? on: May 11, 2009, 01:45:41 PM
I'm doing pet food research and can't find any information about whether Natural Life Pet Products, Inc. is a subsidiary of a larger company.  The Pet Food List posts the following reply from the company:

"Natural Life Pet Products is our brand name. We are distributed through independent dealers, Wal-Mart, Kroger, fine grocery outlets, human health food stores."

Fine and well, but it only states that Natural Life is a brand and skirts whether there is a larger parent company.  I've done a good bit of Googling.  Does anyone know?
19  Dry and Wet Foods / General Discussion about Dry and Wet Packaged Foods / Appropriate wet cat food for urinary tract problems? on: September 23, 2008, 10:58:21 AM
Hello all.  My neighbor's cat (who has chronic poor health due to his barn cat heritage) recently was diagnosed with a urinary tract blockage.  He nearly died and the vet sent the family home with...you guessed it, Science Diet.  The cat didn't like it so I bought the family a bag of dry Wysong Uretic and I spoke with the owners a bit about pet food (there is only so much you can get into with the generally food-clueless population of America).  Now the owners want to know if there are any affordable (key word) wet foods out there that would be acceptable for his condition.

I am not too familiar with FLUT.  I see that Hills Prescription Diet has the following nutrient content:

Calcium: 0.10 min/0.72 dry matter
Phosphorus: 0.10 min/0.68 dry matter
Sodium: 0.12 min/0.32 dry matter
Potassium:   .80% dry matter
Magnesium: 0.020 max /0.013 dry matter
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: 0.10 min/0.96 dry matter

They also say the food includes a boost of B6 and Vit E.

I'm pretty familiar with alternative brands and have not come up with anything with similar content levels.  I really don't want to see the cat (actually all their cats) go back on SD or any other grocery-store brand.  Would a primarily meat-based formula (i.e. Evangers) be a safe substitute if there isn't anything out there?
