Single Blind

Panzer is not really food focused.

While Sarah was in New York late last month, she talked with some of the pet professionals in that orbit of friends and came home with a recommendation for a different cat food.

Panzer did not seem to immediately take to the new food. So we conducted an experiment. Realizing he can’t read, we didn’t need to hide the labels :)

flavorounces eaten
beef *1.3
turkey *1.2
chicken *0.65
chicken in broth0.3
chicken salmon0.15
tuna mackeral0.0

So now we know. Well… we know what he preferred for the two meals when we tested three flavors. He does seem to shift his preferences around over time. But we have no strong evidence to shift the food we buy: the top three (with *) are all the Fancy Feast we’ve been feeding him all his life — which could influence the results.

Doting pet parent? Maybe!
