I do not know the food so you have to read the label. No grains? First ingrediant a muscle meat?
Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health
Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.
Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingredient a muscle meat like chicken or is it meal or other things?

Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms
The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process them. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in
Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don’t use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.
You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn’t have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. The optimum food to feed cats has no grains whatsoever, cats have no use for them and many have trouble processing them as well as the carbs. IBD is another disease that is rapidly becoming common amoung cats because of the inappropriate diets being fed.
Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bp...

We make home made animal food. It’s super healthy, and cheaper. Just mix rice, vegetables, and chicken. Both our dogs and our cat go nuts for it.
My dog used to have 2 stools a day and after I switched him he was going 4+ times. After two weeks of that I switched him off.
Good question for a vet. I used to work for one and he liked Iams and Science Diet. They said don’t feed canned food because it contains ash, this will cause a pet to have kidney stones. Alot of people are going to home fed, but if you pay attention to the label and see whats in it you do want it to be natural foods, like real meat and veggies that we eat.
hi, alot of people now boycott iams for the reasons on this link, if you are interested.

personally i would not give it to my cat for these reasons, i use a holistic cat food called burns, its really good for the cat with no additives or dairy products, i apologise if this doesnt really answer your question x
