Best cat food brands of 2024 plus amazing discounts 

Yes I am aware of pet food recalls. This is why my #1 suggestion will ALWAYS be homemade cat food. I only make these videos because people ask me for commercial options. So why homemade? Because you have more control over the ingredients and how it's made. Sure, it takes more time. But I prefer to take that extra time to avoid worrying about recalls. That's exactly what pushed me to go with homemade cat food back in 2018/2019. The first raw cat food brand Jericho had was called RadCat. It was great - lots of protein variety, whole food ingredients, small batch company... Loved it until the FDA forced a recall and the business closed down. Then I had to scramble to find a new raw cat food. And there were not as many options back then! The next brand I found only had 2 protein options and lots of synthetic supplements. And guess what? They don't make cat food anymore either! Homemade cat food gives you way more control over your cat's diet. And now I'm switching Jericho to a whole prey diet (as of July 2024). So my content moving forward will reflect that. Until then, you can switch to raw using my course → stan.store/jesscaticles/p/switch-your-cat-to-raw-blueprint And then make homemade cat food with my other course → stan.store/jesscaticles/p/homemade-cat-food-starter-kit If those options don't work for you, I have 580+ videos here on this channel. It's up to you to figure out what works best for you and your cat 😽♥

Great info thank you!

Great information, thank you! And for the discount codes as well. I love the bed that you have for Jericho in this video do you mind sharing where you purchased it as I have been looking for something just like this.

Jrss, Keep producing informative videos. My feral rescue kitty Ben is benefiting greatly. Daniel

Nothing can be more important than health. My boy is 100% raw fed and it cost me $250 on his food monthly excluding supplements, treats etc. But he’s getting human grade, grass fed grass finished meats(does not use trim). His premade is made in a HACCP certified facility as well. All his treats are grass fed/finished single ingredients as well. He’s a rescue and deserves only the best. I do believe that as an owner you should be able to provide the best to your pets❤❤❤

Thank you so much! Another great informative video! ❤ And discounts! ❤ I didn't realize that Just Food for Cats is on Susan Thixton's list even though I've referred to her list often. But I think I looked at the ingredients at one time. I'll take another look. Hare Today doesn't have complete wet meals, but they have whole prey! My younger kittie Scamper was feral as a kitten and she loves raw! She would love the raw prey options! As for Steve's, Steve Brown is very knowlegeable and is passionate about feeding healthy, safe food to pets. I was also impressed by the customer rep I spoke with. I inquired about phosphorus percentages because my other cat Cookie will be 11 this year, almost a senior. She doesn't have any diseases (nor does Scamper), but I'm a preventative cat mom. Older cats are more prone to urinary tract diseases, infections, chronic (CKD). Big factor is cats not getting enough hydration from food. Another factor is too much phosphorus contributes to urinary tract issues. Also Calcium:Phosphorus ratio needs to be at least 1:1. I looked at Quest for cats. The only one with a phosphorus level that would be fine for my senior is the pork and I'm a little uncomfortable with the pork, although still considering it as one of their foods. I rotate their foods. However, the cost is higher and I'm already financially stretched. So I purchased one bag of the Freeze Dried Raw for Cats and Dogs. One 20 oz bag makes 5 pounds of food! Because for every ounce, you add 3 oz of water to make the food. This varies a little from brand to brand, but generally most. A lot of people don't know this and they think freeze dried raw is sky high cost-wise. I thought so too until I saw the information on pic of bag on their site. They're the only freeze dried brand I've seen that puts this on their bags! That one may not be perfect, not close to prey model raw, but quality ingredients including organs, great sourcing. I got it on another site so I could purchase only one bag without having to pay a lot for shipping. It's a hit! My two cats both like! In the future, I'll be buying 3 bags for free shipping and also subscribing brings the cost down. And then additional discounts! Makes it a lot more affordable for me. My honorable mention for Freeze Dried is Small Batch Freeze Dried Raw Cat Meal Bites. I contacted them also about phosphorus content. Once you get past the bot to a real person, their help was excellent! Not only did she give me phosphorus content for all the varieties of the freeze dried but also for their frozen sliders varieties as well. Unfortunately only the beef met my critirea at 1.5%. That's fine. Their ingredients are close to prey based model. Mostly meat, even spleen and kidneys! 😃 Unfortunately, you can't order directly. Sometimes at Pet Supplies Plus, also on Amazon. Not always on sale, so it's pricey. But will continue to keep it in their rotation. Now the not so good stuff. Actually Smalls looks good. But many, many people have commented in FB groups that they have really bad customer service. And the worst crticism. Here goes. I know that many, many people love Viva Raw. And you have praised it many times and I respect your recommendations and great information! I was going to go with it. But then I learned about not feeding foods with too much phosphorus to older cats. I called them because the percentages weren't on their site. (Many don't have the percentages.) The customer service rep seemed very impatient with my questions. I just got a bad feeling, felt uncomfortable. I'd already learned that they'll now be sourcing from farms using antibiotics only when necessary. That's not a deal breaker for me by itself. But with the high phosphorus content and my not so great experience with their customer service, it's out. (Maybe she was having a bad day. Others have said they have good customer service.) What do you think of Darwin's? Very prey model based. I'm considering. The intoductory offer is incredible, too! Forgot to mention. I already feed Raised Right!!! I'm having to transition and I don't care that I can't seem to mix in more than 40% into other wet food. Still great ingredients! It's a keeper! 😃 Open Farm - caution on the kibble only. I've seen some posts about their kibble causing sickness. It's only the kibble. I actually love Open Farm, even with the legumes (I know 🙄... and synthetic supplements, although the minerals are chelated). But I love their sourcing and that they're very passionate about that and also they're very transparent. I use their Rustic Blend wet food as my go-to for transitioning. My cats love all the varieties! Before I started learning more about cat foods, the pet food industry, human grade versus feed grade, feeding raw, etc. (and still learning), I fed them Castor & Pollux for years. Certified organic. They went out of business earlier this year. I switched to organic certified Tried and True. I was running out, so I went to Amazon to purchase. And then saw some reviews. Several people said that they'd opened the cans and there was black stuff in there. Black mold? IDK. But with apparently so little quality control, not for my cats! So the search continued. I ended up choosing Open Farms Rustic Blend. It's not perfect. No canned pet food is. But I'm very careful about where the meat is sourced from and also the veggies and fruit if included being at least non-gmo and optimally organic. After doing exhausting research of many, many other brands/products it's the only "canned" wet food I'll feed them. Rustic Blend isn't actually in a can, BTW. Is more like a stew and comes in little boxes. I also like their bone broth. Has turmeric which is very anti-inflammatory. I always add extra hydration to their foods and sometimes add a little bone broth in addition to filtered water. BTW, I wanted to mention this, not as a food to feed regularly, but for another reason. This one has more carbs than most freeze dried, but I also feed them Dr. Marty's Freeze Dried Raw because I still have some left. I bought on BOGO sale at local pet food store. Quality ingredients, liver, hearts, great sourcing. Like I mentioned, higher carb content than others. But here's why that carb content can work for you if you're transitioning away from kibble which has a lot of carbs and you want to find a freeze dried "kibble substitute". Similar texture and more carbs than most. (But nowhere near the carb content in kibble.) Because of those extra carbs, may be easier to transition with than other freeze dried because that's what they're use to if have been eating kibble At one time, I free fed kibble and only one wet food meal a day. Then changed to feeding the Dr. Marty's as very, very small snacks about twice a day. They loved it! I've never seen them jump up and down for anything else. 😂 So it's a good transition food away from kibble. Yes carbs, but so much more nutritious! They're no longer eating dry food. All wet food now. Successful transition. Still have some Dr. Marty's left. Now feed it rehydrated in rotation with other foods. Very long, I know. Thank you for reading! 😃

i love your videos they have been a life saver for one of my cats who has health issues please dont listen to the haters youve helped a lot of people including me!

@ 1:31 " That Cat had Heard Enough " !

Good video. Reading some of the comments, brings Proverbs 26:4 to mind. LOL Happy Manic Monday!

Any of these companies provide UK?

Jericho is a very handsome cat! I enjoy watching your videos because I like seeing a big, handsome, muscly tabby, like Jericho. He looks like the acme of feline health. All that being said, your videos are very helpful to a cat lover like me. My cat is a female Balinese cat; she frustrates me so much with her picky, fussy attitude to food. She is so hard to please.

Why is the screen black?

@ 5:21 Jessica will be able to; "Play Guitar and Sing to the Cat " !

My one year old cats throw up and vomit from the Viva beef for some reason I’ve only tried turkey I will try chicken and see if they act the same with that but any reason why they would throw up and vomit from the beef??!

I feed my cat the Fancy Feast chicken pate classics line in combination with dry food, though I don’t overfill her bowl and she knows when she’s had enough and she drinks plenty of water from her fountain. And she’s healthy. I also do give her no more than 4 treats a day. She loves Temptations and Friskies. I feel like people like this RU-vidr go a little too overboard with their cat’s nutrition. You don’t have to do all this to “make your cat happy” because a good quality cat food is really all you need. Just take care of your cat. 😂

what do you think of all the viva raw recalls? Im scared to feed my cats raw now

We have 6 cats. I have tried multiple brands of the frozen raw and they just dont like it. They love Steve's Quest Free Dried in the Pork and the Chicken. Easy to hydrate and also can be sprinkled as a topper. I enjoy watching his videos and feel the food is very healthy and safe for our babies. When in a hurry I feed them Weruva or Tiki Cat canned.

I thought cats are supposed to eat "species appropriate" proteins. In what world do small cats like house cats eat Bison or Goat or Cows?

Jess....I am serving My Perfect Pet....what is your opinion?

Cat food is so expensive it's almost like they're trying to price people out of owning pets.

You haven't posted anything for several days. I hope everything is OK. Happy Caturday!

My about 9 month old female cat would probably eat nothing of all that. She eats raw and sometimes cooked gizzard cut to small pieces, if I cover it with Whiskas or Felix. Then she only eats the gizzard and not the commercial cat food. If I just give her the gizzard, then she eats nothing. Most of the time she even rejects Whiskas or Felix and eats cheap kibbles made by Purina. My two about 4 month dumpster cats eat it all minus pork products.

Sorry, I have to unsubscribe. I have multiple rescue cats. And even making over $200k a year, these prices are ridiculous. Doing a quick calculation, most of these products would cost me several hundred dollars a DAY. This channel is clearly for people with a single cat and plenty and plenty of extra money. lol

Great for a single cat - not so much for nine cats. And saying dry food is not good for cats is very judgy - some people cannot feed just wet food, they just can't afford it.

Don't do a video with a sickness that affects your voice. Can't listen to this.
