vets catfood recommendation

[LadyLondonderry]

I feel much as you do, KittyFriday , yet I am feeding Sylvie a Purina food as part of the current rotation, simply because she likes it and her gut tolerates it well--two qualities that can be hard to find in the same food when the cat can't tolerate chicken, which is ubiquitous.

The Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach canned foods have short, simple ingredient lists; the Duck variety is just "Duck, Liver, Meat By-Products, Water, Ocean Whitefish, Inulin," plus all the necessary vitamin and mineral supplements. The list on the Arctic Char variety (which Sylvie prefers, probably because it has a smoother, less grainy texture) is similarly short, and I appreciate the lack of potentially problematic ingredients like peas (and pea protein) and unnecessary fruits and vegetables added to make the food sound super-healthy to humans.

i only questioned it because i followed the food idm, may have that wrong , but hills royal and purina were rated so low. but a someone here sent a link, that shows who has hired vets etc.on staff and who owns/manufactures their own food, and tests them so that maybe more important?

I avoided my Vet’s recommendation on Hill’s and Royal Canin, simply b/c they are outrageously expensive where I am, and, my cat snubs them.

I personally prefer Halo, Weruva and their brands, tiki cat, Blue, Forza10, Koha, Kasiks.

You can look at the ingredients list, and the nutritional analysis of most of these foods and make your own determination

I think that's mainly just what they labeled the food to make it sound more gourmet. If you look at the actual ingredients list, it's predominantly chicken, turkey, and liver.
