One of my cats had been vomiting for quite awhile in a different food and when I took him to the Vet they discovered mouth ulcers. A limited ingredient food from a novel protein source was recommended, specifically Koha. His vomiting stopped and ulcers cleared up.
The Vet told me that the food he was eating had ingredients that might have upset his stomach.
No vomiting now for over 3 months!
Thanks Koha!

I recently discovered that multiple cans of the Koha Limited Ingredient Pate canned cat food contained many sharp pieces (I can only assume bone or shell). My cat with Pancreatitis passed away shortly after this discovery. I contacted Koha and received a rather flippant response saying that, “While bones are not an ingredient in our pate’ recipes, bones in food with a high content of meat are always possible.”

In reply to Jenny Fu. Hi Jenny, thanks for pointing this out. Generally, we consider dry matter carb content under 10% ideal but the average for commercial canned food is often closer to 20% and, for dry food, 30%.

Just wondering: If the Carbohydrate content as dry matter basis is over 20%, how is this a low Carb cat food brand? I just read the Ziwi peak cat food reviews too, most of the comments there was high Carb content when the dry matter basis Carb is less than 10% for most of the canned food. Just wondering which Carb level are we comparing, the as feed? or dry matter basis?

In reply to kallie. Hi Kallie! Thanks for the comment, and I apologize for taking a bit to get back to you! This is an excellent question. Phosphorus guidelines are based on the amount of phosphorus in the food rather than the amount the cat consumes each day, so it can be tricky to fully understand, especially if your cat's eating multiple foods. I would figure out how much food is in the other diet per 1,000 calories, then work out an average.

Can you help me to better understand the phosphorous levels in Koha cat food. I saw a video the other day that said it was over the average and I am having trouble decifering the levels myself. My cats get 2/3 a can of wet food from koha a day so I’m not sure if it helps that they are not getting the entire can or if there is only concern if they exceed 1 can per day or what.

In reply to Jenelle. Have you tried Young Again cat food? So many people had great results for their diabetic cats, unfortunately mine refused to eat, so I'm using Dr. Elsie's Salmon with supplemental canned food daily. YA ships to Canada.
