I add nothing but doomer whitenoise to any thread I'm in.

Tricalcium phosphate is used to fulfill dietary requirements for calcium and phosphorus. As long as it's not over daily requirements it's something needed.

According to felinecrf.org, the dry matter phosphorus % of Performatrin Ultra Grain-Free Turkey Pate is 1.24% :shittypop: which seems very high!!

Comparing their previous food to their current food:

code:
Wet Food Brand                                  | Phos% | Pro%   | Na%   | Fat%   | Carb% | Cals
Nulo MedalSeries Minced Turkey & Duck in Gravy  | 1.20  | 55.91  | 1.15  | 23.10  | 10.76 | 25.67
Performatrin Grain-Free Ultra Turkey Pâté       | 1.24  | 44.90  | 0.40  | 40.40  | 4.00  | 39.64
It looks like it went up in phosphorus, down in protein, down in sodium, up in fat, and down in carbs. But I have no idea if their previous food was good either…

Am I feeding them bad food? I really don’t want them to get diabetes or kidney disease.
