Re: Gravy Toppers


I saw these gravy toppers at a garden centre yesterday (a bit random!) but thought I would try it out.

Verdict: - well, none of my cats liked it! Vinnie is the only one who actually tasted it (briefly), the other 2 just sniffed it and turned up their noses!

The dog loves it though!!!

Re: Gravy Toppers


That agrees with the product reviews I have read, Manyana13 - and I have yet to hear of anything that dogs won't eat!

Re: Gravy Toppers


Brewers yeast is actually quite good for cats as it gives them something that's still "alive" to eat which helps regulate their gastric juices in the way it would be naturally in the wild if they were to eat something they just caught that had been living not long ago. It is brought up in Anitra Frazier's The New Natural Cat. Excellent read, I've actually ordered her Vita Mineral Mix because I am too lazy to find the ingredients and mix myself but yeast is a great additive to the feline diet, it's also supposed to help the quality of the protein in the existing food and such as I understand it.

Re: Gravy Toppers

Re: Gravy Toppers


Ah, I've found it:
"any food yeast: brewer's, tarula, or nutritional"

Re: Gravy Toppers


Thanks for that info re yeast, Tink. I'm definitely going to give the Brewer's yeast that MrsH mentioned a try - for me and the cats!

As a bit of an "aside" - I had heard that if you take Brewer's Yeast early in the Spring, it helps stop mosquitoes biting. Anyone else heard that???
