I've found some info about Canadian brands here but it's hard to sift it out among all the American ones. I need to find a new, better quality food for my female cat that will only eat dry. I've tried any and all suggestions I've found here and she just won't eat wet. So I need some help picking out something that is healthy for her.

I appreciate any help <3

This is what she's CURRENTLY eating:

You can also try checking the carb and protein content on catfooddb.com. I also agree that the Orijen, Acana, And Go! are the best options. Those three have the most meat ingredients listed first before you get to fillers or plant protein (peas, potatoes barley etc).
