I was reading your posts on aging and had a question. You talked about alternatives to kibbled food. Now wet food I understand, and I do feed wet food once or twice a day (homecooked, of course). But I'm confused about pelleted food. What's the difference between pelleted and kibbled? Could you elaborate on this? What brands sell pelleted food and which would you recommend? I try to leave food out for my fuzzbutts, because one of them gets so stressed by not not being able to eat whenever he wants that he gets sick. He was raised on kibbled food, free-fed, and I can't seem to switch him over to eating at predetermined times. So I need to leave something out for him. If a pelleted food would be better than kibble, then I definitely want to know more about pelleted foods. Serena C. and the not Mo' fuzzbutts: Calliope, Zen, Loki, and Dao -- Serena R.
