Hi all. Just curious, what brands of wet and/or dry food are you feeding your kitty cats?

Fancy feast, Merrick, natural balance, Wellness, tiki cat aloha friends. I also have some brands like tractor supply's paws and claws, and a grocery store "house" brand Pet Pride.
I have some Koha but he doesn't seem impressed :)

Rawz can and kibble is a very good food, but I just started my cat on Darwin's Raw Cat Food. My Ragdolls love it!!! I do see them doing less poo, and the poo is not too overbearingly stinky. The raw food is pricy, yes, but I want my cats to thrive and less odor at the litter box.

Rad Cat turkey mostly. Going through my stock. Tiki Cat Aloha Friends Tuna with Pumpkin has come back into rotation because her hairballs stopped when she was eating pumpkin on the regular. Trying to work in other foods and proteins but her IBD keeps me feeding what keeps her stable. Tried Rawr, a local brand. She likes it well enough but her hairballs became crazy frequent (three or four this week.) I suspect the bone was causing a slow GI to become even slower. I would like to go to SFRaw and pick up some boneless grinds to try with EZ Complete.

My cat Peaches no longer throws up since I switched to Dr Elseys. Wellness core is the only food that will fill my cat Maggie's tummy. She knows exactly how much to eat. Coco Dr Elseys and wellness core turkey/duck for Maggie and Coco. Maggie and Coco also eat Dave's cat's meow beef.fish(Weruva lambergur lamb and tuna) once a month. Only canned. Maggie will not touch her food unless I add some Weruva double dip. Peaches does not like fish and is starting to like beef.!

American Journey wet, and whatever dry she happens to be into at the moment. Right now she has some leftover Wellness Core that she's not too crazy about, but as long as I add in some "junk food" (some grain-free Purina something-or-other at the moment), she will eat her good food too.

She eats just about any dry food I can find, but refuses any other wet besides the American Journey. I got a couple sample bags of Taste of the Wild, so that will be the next dry I try to feed her. If that goes over, I might get a bag of that when the Wellness is gone.

Lately it's been a lot of Sheba. We still mix it up with Merrick, Halo, Nutro and Natural Balance. They also eat Tiki Chicken and Fish luau as a snack during the day. Raja eats Primal Chicken and Salmon freeze dried as well.

Business Cat eats mostly Big Country Raw for cats, including chicken necks and whole lake smelt. For wet food - Weruva and Fancy Feast are the favourites, and now Wellness Core and Rawz are going over well. I wish she would love Tiki Cat, but she never finishes the second half of the can. For dry, I use Ziwi Peak but my local pet store just got the Isle of Dogs Nourish for Cats. It's another air-dried formula; 90% meat, bone and organ. It seems to be going over well.

I feed Wellness core dry and the complete health in the big cans for the wet. We probably shouldn't feed only one brand, but it seems to be working.

When I fed canned (I make raw now) it was Nulo, Avoderm, Whole Earth Farms, Nutro, 4health, and whatever higher end brands I could get super cheap because the can was dented. Special occasions, like holidays, garner a can of Weruva Mideast Feast (tilapia) that I get from my wonderful aunt. Stella & Chewy freeze dried is always around as a topper or treats.

For dry food, American Journey is what she gets the most, but I also get Instinct when I can get it half off. I got Dr. Elsey's dry once to try but it's just too expensive to ever buy again.

Rad Cat Raw Food is going out of business this coming year, due to the multiple recalls. Tractor Supply is the only store that sells 4Health. I am on the fence regarding the quality of its ingredients.

Tommy and Stewart eat homemade raw rabbit and turkey mix. Tommy also gets a serving of Stella and Chewy because he burns through calories. They eat freeze dried raw treats.

Amalie and Yue get Dr Elsey's cleanprotein chicken kibble, and then canned food like Nature's Variety Instinct, sheba, Tiki after Dark, Weruva, American Journey, Crave. They don't like fish. Sometimes they eat crab and shrimp, or at least Yue does. And their favorite treats are Party Mix. I can't get them to eat freeze dried treats that are good for them. Yue has been trying the freeze dried rabbit treats recently, but not a huge fan.
I have also had the girls eat plain boiled chicken breast with EZComplete.

My Ragdolls do not like fish as well. It's a misconception of people, thinking cats LOVE fish.

Right meow my 2 younger adults get 4Health dry, and a rotation of wets (Weruva, Weruva BFF, Soulistic, Tiny Tiger, Miko, Tiki Cat, Fussie Cat, Rawz) They're about to get Halo dry for about 6+ months that I scored a LOT of at like 90% off on clearance.

My senior gal is having a mix of dry foods-Wholehearted senior and Wellness Senior, and she is liking the Natural Balance wet I got on clearance that my other two didn't care for.

Things can change at any time depending on sales haha! But only if they're brands I feel at least mostly comfortable with. (example: Halo wouldn't be my top choice because I find the company a bit iffy, but it's healthy enough and I got it for a steal so that made me more comfortable.)

I change up canned food brands all the time but currently they’re on a rotation of American Journey, Tiny Tiger, Tiki Cat, Merrick, Miko, Against the Grain, Under the Sun, and Whole Earth Farms. Gizmo also gets a meal of homemade raw. I got some samples of Rawz so there’s a few of their products in the rotation too and I have a small bag of Dr. Elsey’s dry that I use only for treats.
