Diet Food
Eating well is easy in the new year - it starts in the kitchen, says Food Network's Ellie Krieger

Switching from Science Diet to By Nature Organic dog food, how do I get my dogs to eat it when they won't?
They just sniff it and won't eat it. I tried mixing it in with the remaining science diet food and they just spit out the new food. Will they eventually start eating it?
Try mixing a little big of cooked ground chicken/beef and rice in it. (Just a little) I usually do this when my Peke is stubborn and won't eat his food.
Here is how to switch foods:
"A new pet food should be gradually introduced to your animal by mixing it with their current food. For a nice, slow transition, replace the old food with the new in 10 perecent increments over the course of a 10-day period. It can take 4 to 6 weeks for a pet's digestive tract to adjust to a new diet. If digestive upset occurs, pull back and transition more slowly."
Hope that helped! & Good job for switching to a better quality food!
You're searching around, looking for the best cat food perhaps because you have a new kitten and want to provide her with the best. Or perhaps it's because you seem to have had a lot of illnesses with your past cats and are now wondering if the diet could be partly responsible.
Well, let me tell you that categorically, without a shadow of doubt, diet is all important to anyone's health, including that of your cat.
Providing the best cat food will be the biggest step towards keeping your cat as healthy as possible.
But what is this?
Cats have spent a long time evolving to their present state. Many millions of years, in fact. Many tens of millions of years.
Over that time, they have perfectly adapted to the food that is available to them on a regular basis.
Whatever gives us the idea that we, as a species, can better that?
Whilst advertising, with it's alluring pictures and fine words, may tell us 'science' has improved a cats diet, rest assured it hasn't. The advertising remains just that - pretty pictures and fine words, aimed at improving the health of the manufacturers bank balance rather than the health of your cat.
So let's go back to the earlier question - what is the best cat food?
There is not a shadow of doubt that the best cat food is that which is so close to a wild cat's diet as to be almost identical.
OK, I'm not asking you to go out and catch mice - your cat can do a better job of that than you can.
Let's look at a wild cat's diet. Cats kill their prey and eat it all immediately. They aren't opportunist eaters, like dogs, who are happy to eat carrion. So what does this tell us, about the qualities of the food?
That's quite a daunting list for someone new to the idea of not opening a box or can for your cat's dinner.
And there is a bit to learn to apply those principles.
But it is really easy, once you get to know the basics and how to apply them.
Your cat will think she's died and gone to heaven...
