there are more knowledgeable people here, but the first one doesn't sound too bad. i'd prefer more protein, tho.

 

[ilafa]

thank you! my Ajči is trying the first one out and we'll see what happens. Otherwise, we'll go back to Nutro

actually, i just checked mine online, & the protein content is similar to the chicken & rice formula you posted. so i guess i would say it looks pretty good!

Did you try the two foods? How did the cat like them? I'd be interesting in trying something new for mine!

Maize is corn, so the first one is better than something with chicken by product and corn. But there's better foods that don't have corn.

The second one has wet salmon instead of salmon meal. so the amount of salmon you actually get is far less. It's actually mostly rice, which isn't idea for cats.

It's not a bad food, but there's much better out there.

Not bad but I dont like corn , unknown fish meal and cellulose..
You can find better at big box stores./..

thank you all for your answers! I'm in a dilemma. In Slovenia, we don't have that many brands of dry food, so now I'm choosing between Nutro, Arden Grange and Felidae. As I've read here, Felidae is the best choice due to the fact that it has no corn in it.

Thank you again for your help!

 

[fatkitties]

OH yes Felidae would be your best bet.

Quality wise of those three foods, Felidae would be best, followed by Nutro, followed by the Grange one. My cats get Felidae and I can't think of enough good things to say about it. We love it.

 

[ilafa]

thanks! Going to buy as soon as possible
