So, my latest bag of Max did contain the fish oil. . . As I'm trying to avoid any possible fish (due to uti issues) I've been looking for other dry food options.

I have a petsmart near me, and since authority is similar in price to Max, I'm thinking about trying some.

The cats in question are my 2, 1.5 year old males and my (5-7???yrs.) male.
They get ~ 50% dry and 50% wet.

What do you guys think about this formulas?

Thanks!
