Smarty Pets: Feeding the Finicky Cat
Got a picky eater? Pick this class.
Diet is the foundation of our cats' health, but we know our cats have a mind of their own when it comes to food. Or do they?
With over two decades in the pet industry and working with the finicky feline, PetSage founder Terri Grow has a few insights in to your cat's palate, food addictions and commercial pet food manipulations. What is “best” for one cat may not be the “best” for yours. Her experience will help you separate fact from fiction to find the food that’s right for your finicky feline. Terri will also share a few tricks of the trade for those times when you are at your wit’s end.
And don't worry, you won't go home empty handed. Terri will have some free samples to test out with your newfound cat food knowledge!
