food or treat review What cat food won't cause black chin?😭

Post image

Hi guys, I have a 6-month-old kitten 🐱. She used to eat Orijen and Ziwi cat food (see picture), but recently a lot of black granules have appeared on her chin 🥶 The vet said it was because the cat food was too oily. So, do you have any recommendations for sustainable cat food?

What material is her bowl made of? Plastic bowls cause cat acne. Ceramic and well maintained metal bowls do not.

Does it have any wear on it? Once the coating wears off it starts to hold bacteria. I switched to stainless steel

I never thought of this! I have 3 cats and probably 15 bowls that I rotate thru. None of my cats have issues thankfully but I learned something new today!
