I'm no veterinarian, certainly, but too little fibre can mean problems with stool and anal glands that don't express, and that I know from first-hand experience.
Maybe it's different for individual cat? My cats are doing fine with high protein canned and raw food, and adding more water and occasional butter to their food solved constipation problem. One of them has problem with psyllium (he vomits). I don't know much about anal glands and fiber. He had to be expressed when eating Iams dry but not anymore. But the canned food I feed them have a small amount of veggies in them, too, so maybe that's enough for my cats.

You`ll be happy to note Holistic Select is BPA free. From their Q&A...
@zoneout
Someone on another forum suggested this one. Have you tried it?

That's great! Thank you for finding out. I just got one from a local health food store. They only had seafood one. One of my cats loved it. The other one wasn't so sure. I probably order some from Chewy next time along with ZiwiPeak.

No, it was more like pate and some juice.
@ankitty did the can of Holistic select have like a clear jelly substance surrounding the pate?
I know Merrick has a great reputation. I always wanted to try it but I think avoided since they dont have 13 oz cans. If the Holistic Select experiment doesn`t work out I am going to have to bite the bullet and go to the smaller cans.Zone out have you tried Merrick pates in rotation, my cats never tire of it and have no issues. I use their 5.5 oz cans and Pride 5.5 oz cans along with nutro natural choice chunky chicken loaf and tiki puka luau and soulistic in small cans
Anymore it's a toss up for health and what the cat will actually eat. Merrick is still affordable and fussy pants always eats chicken and duck pate. Lately she snubs soulistic so the boy gets it. Now she is down to Merrick Pate, Pride rabbit, nutro chunky chicken, tiki Puka luau, wellness Devine duo chicken/duck and natural balance catatouille stew. Glad my boy eats anything! Chicken, duck and rabbit is all she likes.I know Merrick has a great reputation. I always wanted to try it but I think avoided since they dont have 13 oz cans.
