Cons: "New and improved" version has less nutrition per can.

Eight years ago, a long-haired stray cat decided to move into my home. I'm sure ya'll know how they do that... Anyway, at her first vet visit, I was advised to feed her Laxatone - essentially a petroleum gel - every day for hairballs or "You'll regret ...

Cons: By-products and it is on the expensive side.

When we adopted our first cat from the SPCA we stopped at PetSmart and picked up a variety of items we knew he would need. One was food, but there are so many! How does one choose?

When I picked out Pippen's food I went for something that was...

Pros: Excellent quality, complete food with added fiber.
Cons: Odd shape, corn content, price and availability.

Cons: I have to order no one close that sells it
