Our cats get Weruva and Natural Balance wet food and are doing well. But I recently picked up a couple of cans of this Purina One formula and the cats liked it so much that I'm wondering whether it's good enough to get a bigger role.
This formula comes in about six flavors/textures, but the only one that did not have wheat gluten (or any grain at all, for that matter) is the Classic Chicken recipe in pate-style.
Ingredients:
Chicken, water sufficient for processing, liver, fish, meat by-products, artificial and natural flavors, corn oil, calcium phosphate, guar gum, added color, potassium chloride, salt, taurine, magnesium sulfate, Vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, niacin, sodium nitrite (to promote color retention), calcium pantothenate, Vitamin A supplement, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, Vitamin B-12 supplement, biotin, folic acid, Vitamin D-3 supplement, potassium iodide.A-4321
Pros:
More easily available than Weruva and Natural Balance. I can get it at my 24-hour supermarket which is extremely helpful.
It appears to be low-carb and grain-free. I say "appears to be" because usually that's something the manufacturers trumpet on their labels and then charge twice as much, and this doesn't mention anything like that in the marketing points.
Cons:
Meat by-products in the ingredients list and maybe other undesirable ingredients, which is why I'm here to ask.
The cats like it just a leetle beet too much, which always makes me suspicious that it's kitty crack of questionable nutritional value.
Pricewise, not a bargain. At the market, it cost $1 a can. At Petco, it was $.95. The only size is 3 oz. As fed, I think it comes out similar to the premium brands.
Thank you all so much. I'm so grateful for the expertise here on this board.
