Wet food is considered by many to a necessary addition to our kitties diets.
I agree, plus our kitties really enjoy eating something other than dry food alone.
I have tried, without success because of loose stools & a dislike of the taste, to get them to eat Innova light canned or Merrick instead of Nutro pouches.
Because of a recent problem with Nutro's pouches, I recently switched both cats to Meow Mix pouches.
Dex & Sadie both love the Meow Mix pouches but I am bothered by the fact that the main protein in their pouches is fish....lots of fish and little else.
Yesterday I tried an experiment....
I purchased a can of Merrick's Grandma's Pot Pie and mixed a small amount into their Meow Mix pouch.
They cleaned their dishes.
I did the same this morning. Yum Yum!
I am going to go slow with this experiment to see if their sensitive tummies will handle the better quality food added to the Meow Mix.
I intend to purchase some small cans of Innova light and try that too.
If this works....
For the foreseeable future...I will keep them on the Meow Mix Pouches while slowly adding a larger amount of Innova Light or other high quality canned brands.
It is no problem to mix 2 brands and I feel much better feeding them less fish.
Do you mix a top quality food that you kitties don't like with a food they cannot resist?
I would love your feedback about this experiment.
