Hi Everyone!
I just adopted a sweet little ~2 year old kitty! She is an absolute doll (and apparently ate quite well prior to coming to us, since she's a little full-figured, LOL!).
She passed her vet check and organ/blood test panels with flying colors. Vet would like her to drop about 1.5 lbs (she's 9.2 now, but is a petite girl), which brings me to my next question. The rescue group (and vet) said that Wellness canned food (and Petsmart's Simply Nourish dry) would be a good choice to start her with since nobody knows what she was fed prior. The vet would like her to be on wet food exclusively and thinks Wellness is a good choice.
When I went to buy the Wellness, I noticed that other than the chicken and turkey flavors, everyone other one had some kind of fish or a fish/mix in it. I'm confused, because I thought that having "fish" wasn't good for them. Is that true and/or also the case with this Wellness fish-blended food?
Our kitty is interested in the Wellness chicken, but not crazy about it. Will much on the Simply Nourish dry, but again, not crazy about it.
I realize that food/nutrition discussions can get quite passionate, but I would ideally like to get a good quality canned diet for her that I can rotate, flavor-wise, and also leave out a SMALL amount of dry food (at least in the short-term) as well. Thoughts?
I also looked up "Natures Variety Instincts" canned food, which doesn't have any fish in it. I'm wondering if that might be a better way to go...
Thanks in advance for any help!
