Don't know what they are, but when cat and some dog food get wet, it is gruesome what grows! Mine grew pink small little worms. Try and either make your own dog/cat food or buy the top brands.also write to the manufacturer and if possible, send a picture. Better brands are more expensive for a reason - they are made from quality ingredients and don't grow ugly things when have been sitting. Throw out the dog's leftover moist food after each meal . If you leave food down for free choice eating, leave only dry food down.
The two most popular types of cat food are dry and canned food. Choosing which type to buy can be confusing, but I'm here to point you the benefits of each type, as well as the disadvantages. Let's start off with dry cat food. Most cat owners will agree that this is a better choice of the two. Why you ask. Well it's definitely more economical (than canned food), can be stored for a long period of time (unlike canned food), does not leave a mess,and even if it pours on the floor, it is really easy to clean. The main con of dry cat food is that it contains a large amount of carbs and fillers. Carbs are not really necessary for cats because they have a hard time converting it to energy and fillers are low quality ingredients. Regarding canned food, its main benefit is that it contains a lot of protein, which is the main source of energy for cats. Lack of protein and the cat will quickly begin to lose weight and its immune system will be weaker. Another benefit is that contains a large amount of water, keeping the cat dehydrated. The cons of canned cat food are that they are expensive, have to be refrigerated once opened, have a short life time, and can easily leave a mess. Whether you choose dry or canned food for your cat,make sure it is a high quality product with all the important nutrients.
ABSOLUTELY NO DRY FOOD!!!! Can food only, add a little more water to get water in kitty. My kitty was pre-kidney and I took him off dry and put him on wet/can food and a year later, his check up it was gone. I didn't use any specific cat food for pre-kidney but since your kitty is already in renal failure find specific brands for this but WET WET WET CAN CAN CAN. He needs water. I tried giving my cat Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal LP Modifed Canned Cat Food, 3-oz but he didn't like it so he is on Wellness chicken sliced. I will be taking him in again to see his number. Good luck
Canned cat food has some advantages: it does not require as much additives, it contains morewater, it has higher amount of animal protein, and it contains much loweramount of carbohydrates than dried food.
You should try preparing a diet for your cat whichresembles the things that cat eat in the wild such as fresh meat and grains.However, most of us don't have the time to do so and there are many canned foodalternatives that contributes your cat nutrition. You can check out this link http://cats.about.com/cs/catfood/a/canned_food.htm and find out more detailed information aboutcanned food substances.
There are no rules that say that one is better than theother but cats are carnivores. Wet meaty food is often preferred over kibble(dry food) however the best kibble is better for your cat than the worst cannedfood.
