Blue Seal Organic Cat food?
Is anyone here familiar with Blue Seal Cat food? Is is a good brand? My grocery store now carries their organic line and it seems pretty nice…. any experiences or info, good or bad?
I checked it out and their not on any of the pet food recall lists, but I hesitate to switch brands without talking to someone first. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the info so far…. taking this into consideration is there a brand of food that you would recommend? I’m willing to shell out some extra cash, but I don’t want to have to get another job to feed my cats.
They are 2 very active,indoor-only, male cats who are right on track with their weight and don’t have any hairball/urinary tract/skin issues….. approx 2 years old.

Organic means it is grown in horse manure (or worse). It’s a yuppie and liberal trap to make them buy it for a higher price, and that is all organic is for!
Here’s a clue: Cats and dogs are naturally meat eaters, not plant eaters!
I second what the others have said about this brand. You can try any of the ones from this list.
I personally feed Natural Balance venison & green pea – YES, I know the dry version has been recalled, but I’m stuck. LOL – this is the only good canned food Poppy will eat, and my choices are either to try her on something godawful like Friskies *shudder* or put her back on dry food *shudder*.
Since they’ve experienced absolutely no symptoms, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and my eyes open. And I’m going to order some nice ground meat for them today! Hare-Today, here I come…..
Can’t say I’ve encountered Blue Seal………
My cat eats Blue Buffalo Holistic food.
Just by looking up the Blue Seal cat food, the first two ingredients are: Chicken Meal, Ground Corn
Both aren’t that great. You want to try to find something that contains NO wheat, corn, or soy, and preferably has real meat (no meal or by-products) as the main ingredients.
I’m not familiar with this brand, so I looked them up.
Based on 7 of their forumlas, I would not feed this food. The main ingredient was always chicken meal, and then usually ground corn, followed by a bunch of other grains.
Cats cannot digest corn, and usually have adverse reactions to it. Chicken meal in and of itself isn’t totally bad. It’s the rendered down meat of the chicken, but is highly cooked and all water taken out of it. If it’s an ingredient in cat food, it should NOT be the first one listed.
They didn’t list ingredients for their canned food – highly suspect – so I couldn’t tell you on those.
Also, the term "organic" doesn’t mean plants only, as someone said. It means any carbon based naturally occuring organism. Animal products can most definitely be organic.
I feed my cats Innova Evo and they’ve done really well on it. It’s a very high quality protein based food. It has no grains and is formatted to be the closest thing a cat could eat to natural diet besides a raw diet. Many people who feed raw, will feed Evo kibble as a treat. It’s more expensive than what I was feeding before – a can costs about $1.50, and a 6.6lb bag costs about $16. However, because it’s nutritionally balanced and suited for an obligate carnivore, they eat much less of it than they did the other stuff. For two cats, a bag lasts me over a month and one 13 ounce can lasts 2-3 days.
The ingredients of Blue Seal do NOT include corn or meal:

I don’t know how you could write what you did about the ingredients of Blue Seal canned cat food. I am sitting here with one of my cans of their feline turkey and vegetable harvest supper. There is no corn meal and in case you didn’t know, even the most high quality brands can use “chicken meal” which is NOT rendered chicken but as a matter of fact a way of grinding the chicken and is of equal quality to “plain chicken”. There is no chicken meal in Blue Seal wet cat food anyway. I don’t believe in using much dry food: Do cats eat a dry mouse? No, they need the water And, take a look at the ingredients right here (of Blue Seal Turkey and Vegetable Harvest Supper) I think that this is quite a good cat food for the money! And we also use Wellness wet, Natural Balance Wet and other top quality brands, also Royal Canin and Wellness CORE, but we feed up to 13 cats per day and must try to find ways of affording our cat food bill.
