Wysong Epigen 90 Starch-Free Formula Grain-Free Dry Dog & Cat Food, 5-lb bag

My 11 year old cat JoJo is diabetic . I was using food Veterinary Recommend which they sell, dry food. He ate it, but I did think ingredients were that great. He stopped eating , ate very little. I ordered Epigen 90 and he gobbled it up. He will no longer eat the other brand. I will try to get my fat kitty to eat it to. The both eat canned food.

I am thoroughly impressed by this Epigen 90 starch- free food for cats and dogs.. and so is my little cat, Patches. It was love at first sniff When I opened the bag. I started by mixing it with her old kibbles, supposedly a healthy brand But with 37% carbs! She picked the Epigen kibbles out from the rest and ate them exclusively. Even when I put it on her canned food with gravy, she took the Epigen and left the gravy food. Within two days she had, by her own choice, converted totally to the new Epigen diet. I will have to give away the other stuff as she won't touch it. My little Patches is 14 to 15 years old now, so considered an older cat. She can still do some high jumps I am thoroughly impressed by this Epigen 90 starch- free food for cats and dogs.. and so is my little cat, Patches. It was love at first sniff When I opened the bag.

She can still do some high jumps and somersaults to catch feathers in the air, but is not nearly as active as when she was younger. After about 10 days on Epigen she seems a little happier and friskier, more playful. She joins me in exercises when I get down on the floor and is gleefully enjoying the activity. And I almost think her fur is softer already. The most remarkable thing is that now she no longer begs for food constantly between breakfast and dinner, or between dinner and the middle of the night. She seems perfectly satisfied with a tablespoon of kibbles in the morning and one for supper, with another tablespoon reserved for training treats in the afternoon and evening. The Epigen 90 kibbles seem even more motivating than the famous but unhealthy treats I used to use for training. I was shocked when I read that label on the famous brand. I will probably add a teaspoon of pumpkin to her diet to avoid hairballs and keep the digestive tract running smoothly. Plus a few blueberry treats as special rewards. She's 10 pounds now but my vet thinks she should be 7 pounds. I've been trying for several years to trim her tummy, but to no avail. With the old food, she'd be begging for more food an hour after meals. Like eating in a Chinese restaurant and being starving again an hour later ( for me personally, feeling like fainting). I believe it was for the same reason. The high glycemic carbohydrates jacked her blood sugar way up and quickly dropped it like a rock, leaving her feeling restless and hungry again. With the Epigen 90, she takes a little stroll outdoors, then comes in and stretches out like a Tigress in the jungle, in a state of bliss and grooming peacefully. She won't even touch any treats offered until at least 3 to 4 hours after her 1 Tablespoon meal - and that's a level Tablespoon, not heaping. I suspect that as she very gradually loses that extra 3 pounds she may go on to eating maybe 3/8 of a cup a day. Even then I calculate The Epigen 90 will cost no more than feeding a cheap brand of well-known canned food, because she eats less and wastes less. Every kibble is eaten. I call her my Paleo-Keto cat now, and I think that's way cats were designed to be. … more

Very happy with Wysong food. It took a lot of research to find a dry cat food without so many carbohydrates and fillers. Having pets with diabetes and a food they will actually eat has been frustrating. So thank you Wysong and Chewy for making this food possible to us consumers!

This food was recommended by a friend after we had taken our 11 year old cat into the emergency vet 4-5x over about 2-3 years. We did a lot of tests and exrays and no one could figure out what it was exactly. Some said the heart, some the brain, some digestive, some a disease that caused inflammation. So far after changing our aging cat to this cat food that we give her 2x a day, combined w a once a day small amount of fish oil (human vitamin gel cap- 5 drops) and a small amount of cat probiotics disguised in a tiny (1/8 tsp) portion of wet food, she has not had “an episode” that would send her to the ER. It’s been almost 1.5 years!!

Perhaps there is something to be said for people taking more interest in how their cats age, and with it, needing a dietary change that will help with inflammation, gut health, and precautionary health benefits of fish oil to ward of the C word. … more

Beau tried to climb in the bag to get to the kibble when it arrived! The issue is he had all his teeth removed last month because of stomatitis. With some remaining inflammation/drool he hasn't figured out how to get much down. I crushed it, but that didn't help. Wish there was a solution. He keeps trying to eat it.

So far so good! Can't say that I've been able to find a dry food with less carbs and all this good stuff in it! Surely much better than any Rx. Vet food that's much more costly and still has corn in it! After a slow intro, but not on it 100% as of yet, I've noticed a decrease in the amount of food that my cats are eating. My fat cat is loosing weight and my diabetic cats blood glucose is coming down. Also, less stinky in the litter box. I will know more once we've done the completed switchover. I plan to continue feeding this to my cats in hopes of keeping them all healthy and well til a ripe old age. (I will update my review once we've done the total switch over.)

Had to get some dry food because one of our little monsters faked his death, so we did whatever we could to get him to eat. Now if we don’t give him some kibble with his wet food, he destroys the house. I hope this is as high protein as it looks, since they all seem to love it. I will say the tiny terror does stay calm until around 6am instead of 3am now, so perhaps it’s keeping him full!

I looked for hours for a low carb, lower than 10% dry food for my cat when I finally came across this food. Cat was considered diabetic with a blood sugar of 263 with stress. It came down to 147 after feeding her a wet Fancy Feast. Then she got sick with that, so I decided to switch back to a dry food. She still has some stomach issues but will probably stay with Epigen 90.

My two cats like Wysong. I love that this food it is super high in protein low in carbs and starch. I also love that Wysong is open about getting ahold of me if they happen to have recalls. They put it on the bag.

I made the switch to Epigen 90 due to my cats gaining weight with their previous food. When I started researching the carb contents of the "high" end foods I was feeding previously, I was disappointed that the food I was feeding my cats was nearly 40% carbohydrates. Wysong Epigen 90 has the lowest carb content I could find in a dry food so decided to try it. I thought my cats coats were healthy with the previous brand but in a week with Epigen 90, their coats improved drastically and now they are both lean, happy and energetic. Although pricey and in small bags, my cats eat less so I'm confident the price equals out to the larger 13-15lb bag brands.
