Looking for wet food without grain/fruit/etc. Just your basic protein

[dwdanby]

My two-yr-old cat has just dug her heels in and refused my raw food diet that she's loved for a year. Nothing new, chicken and pork (she won't touch ground meat) with Alnutrin. Just stopped eating it - but when I gave her some wet food out of my emergency stash, oh boy, down it went. So I'm looking for good healthy wet food (she has bowel motility issues, vet said only wet). Unfortunately, money is an issue, so the high-end stuff is out. What do folks suggest? Thanks all!

Many of even the most basic wet foods are grain free without adding other ingredients.

Iams perfect portions for example have very minimal ingredients already. If she already ate something from your "stash" and that food is affordable to you, I would simply choose that one.

All of the different "health" opinions in the world dont matter if she won't eat it right? So worry more about finding a wet she will eat thats in your budget.

I totally agree with the above. But I also used to feed raw until my furbabies revolted after several years. Maybe she's just tired of chicken and pork. Did you feed both chicken thighs and breasts. They have different flavors and textures, so even switching from one to the other might perk her interest again. Same with pork. Their are loins, chops, etc. and I suspect they all have slightly different tstes and textures. And there are still other proteins you could try. I used to feed a lot of turkey thighs, chopped up, and also different cuts of beef (sometimes roasts, sometimes steaks), cut into small chunks or strips. Lamb, rabbit. etc. Or you might try a different Premix from Alnutrin, something like EZ Complete. I know there are several of them out there.

We fed our 21 year old Sheba fairly basic and she would consistently eat it. Price did go up during covid like most things did.
