One of my cats is diabetic and another one was (still being watched though). Neither would eat any of the prescription foods so my vet and I searched for something that was low carb that they would eat. Evo was it and since being on it Ayja is off insulin and Karma uses a lot less so I am afraid to change their diet. Once the vet did whatever (he took some food and tested it to be sure of content etc.) he started recommending it to others with finicky diabetic cats. It is difficult to find any of the other foods since I live in a rural area. I lucked out on the Evo and can buy it through a local rescue I help with. At least I know when they get it and how they store it and any profits helps pay vet bills and feed rescues. I could probably get regular Innova too but that doesn't help with the diabetics.
I know what you mean about second guessing after this food scare. Then again after the scares with spinach and all the other for human foods it is all scary. I try to buy local any more, like direct from the farmer. Rural has its advantages. Agri-business no matter who the food is for seems to be a very dangerous way to go and even worse under the idiot. Between the idiot letting corporations run wild, cutting budgets for over site agencies,and forcing out those that try to do there jobs properly it is hard to even think about trusting.
