When we first got our cats they were eating friskies (or something like that). I left them on that food for a month before transitioning them over to different food. We tried Go!, Natural Balance, Blue and Natures Variety. They ate sooo much of it, probably more than the friskies. We were going through a 11-12lb bad every 2 weeks. Then we switched them to PC Nutrition First Adult Chicken & Brown Rice and they eat a 8lb bag a month. Tried switching them back to a higher quality food and once again started eating 11-12lb bags every 2 weeks.
What's up with that? I thought they are supposed to eat less on a good quality food, not double what they were eating. Buying $60 bags every 2 weeks plus wet food is a bit much. (The stuff they eat a lot less of is $15 for 8lb and stats below).
Chicken meal, chicken, brown rice, dehulled barley, oatmeal, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols – source of vitamin e), potatoes, natural chicken flavour, whole dried egg, herring meal, salmon oil (source of dha), tomatoes, brewer’s yeast, phosphoric acid, whole sweet potatoes, whole carrots, whole blueberries, whole cranberries, whole apples, dl-methionine, potassium chloride, calcium sulphate, salt, choline chloride, taurine, vitamins & chelated minerals (vitamin e, vitamin c, niacin, inositol, vitamin a, thiamine mononitrate, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, vitamin k, beta-carotene, vitamin d3, folic acid, biotin, vitamin b12, zinc proteinate, ferrous sulphate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulphate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), probiotics (lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus casei, enterococcus faecium, bifidobacterium thermophilum), chicory root, yucca schidigera, dried rosemary
