J'ai trouvé un article intéressant sur les "yahoo answers", citant la liste des ingrédients qu'il vaut mieux éviter dans la nourriture de nos chats. Plus haut j'ai donc mis en gras tous les ingrédients qu'il vaut éviter.. Ce n'est rien de nouveau, Danahée tu en parlais, mais bien sur le mais ne devrait pas se trouver en tête des ingrédients, et idéalement il ne devrait pas y en avoir..
Voici donc, selon la liste que j'ai trouvée, les i
ngrédients à éviter:
"The preservatives BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin. BHA and BHT are carcinogens. Ethoxyquin is a rubber preservative and pesticide.
Foods that contain Rosemary (may be used as a preservative) shouldn't be served more than 2-3 times per week.
Carrageenan. This is a food thickener that can cause ulcerative colitis and other stomach problems. However, this ingredient is used in the new EVO canned products (95% meat) (among other products), and the advice I've received is that you have to weigh the overall benefits of the great food against a small amount of this ingredient which might cause digestive upsets. If you're faced with the choice of carageenan or an inferior quality food, go with the carrageenan. The same is true for GARLIC which is (still) present in Wellness.
Mannitol, Xylitol and Sorbitol: Can cause severe digestive upset and possibly kidney problems.
Potassium Sorbate: Can irritate skin and eyes.
Propylene Glycol: Can cause heinz body anemia, a type of damage to red blood cells.
Sodium Benzoate: Can adversely affect the central nervous system and cause allergic reactions as well as stomach irritations.
Propyl Gallate
Artificial colors. Cats don't care what color their food is! There is no feline Iron Chef who will turn up her nose due to bad presentation!
Byproducts and meal. Byproducts aren't bad per se, but it would be NICE to know which ones. They can be anything from liver (good) to beaks and feet. If they're not named, don't feed them.
Any form of corn, wheat or soy. Corn is the worst of these and may ultimately lead to diabetes.
Avoid special labels such as "indoor" "senior" or "light". These foods may contain acidifying agents, excessive fiber, and inadequate fats that will result in skin and coat problems.
Don't buy your food at the grocery store - go to an independently owned pet store or a chain store if they carry good brands.
Butylated hydroxyamisole.
Butylated hydroxytoluene."

Si vous lisez plus bas, une autre personne parle de l'importance de donner la nourriture crue.. (Je sais qu'il en était question précédemment dans le topic)
Pour revenir à la nourriture sèche, comme tu disais Danahée, il faut y aller avec les nourritures contenant de la viande dans les premiers ingrédients..
Tu vois, je remarque déjà que la nourriture Pro Nature semble de meilleure qualité que la Science Diet.. Mais le blé d'inde en 2e ingrédient me fatigue!
Mon amie qui a adopté Chucky m'a dit qu'elle va utiliser
Wellness Core et je vois selon les ingrédients que ça semble très bien, et sans blé d'inde! :
"Deboned Turkey, Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Whitefish Meal, Potatoes, Salmon Meal, Natural Chicken Flavor. Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Tomato Pomace, Cranberries, Chicory Root Extract, Salmon Oil, Flaxseed, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B-12 Supplement), Choline Chloride, Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Kelp, Taurine, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Enterococcus Faecium, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Rosemary Extract."
Je vais regarder encore une fois quand je retournerai chez Mondou car ça ne donnait pas ça du tout comme ingrédients sur le sac que j'ai regardé. Maintenant, ils ont plusieurs formules donc est-ce que ça varie en fonction de la formule, c'est possible. Chose certaine je n'aime pas celle que tu mets. 
Je suis tellement heurese pour mon petit Chuck!
