Rawz and Instinct are both good brands. Rawz cans have BPA though so I stopped feeding them.

I wont feed any of the foods with agar-agar. But i do love Dr. Elseys dry food, chicken flavor.

I do feed some Almo naturals, but only the complete meals, not the supplemental foods.

I have fed some Rawz, cats were so so with the turkey, refused the others, i don't bother with it any more.

I have tried all the instinct varieties, my cats will not eat it for some unknown reason, none of them.

Hi, of the others they aren't bad although I'd wonder about the actual ingredients in the almo nature.
Agar agar, and montmorillonite clay aren't good, but if you were to feed a rotation of these foods you'll have more a chance, in my opinion, of your felines system being better able to deal with bad additives, possible protein allergens and issues of companies changing their recipes.

almo has many supplemental foods, like she mentioned. I do keep the chicken breast in broth in the pantry, if someone isn't feeling food and need a bit of bland food i will give it to them, it looks and smells just like plain old boiled chicken shredded up. they have a few foods in their complete line, and in the La cucina line that are complete and balanced. My cats like them.

By the way, you will quickly find that every canned food on the market has some questionable ingredients. You will just have to decide for yourself which ones you are okay with feeding and which you'd like to avoid. It's always a balancing act.
