Well Steve was whinning at me today about the cost of feeding the babies, And I do have to say, with the ex taking such a chunk of our budjet we do need to cut food costs down a bit.
I am currently feeding Purina Pro plan, and love the results.
But its looking like I will have to switch down to Purina One, Personally I think the ingridents are fairly similar, and it shouldnt be a bad switch. The biggest diffrence I see, is the pro plan is a very high Protein rate, 40% and One is 34%...that seems to be the biggest diffrence to my eye...
The kittens are still going to get Purina Pro Plan just the adults will be making the switch.
