I agree with blkcatgal .. I'm not a big fan of IAM's either .. and neither
are my cats.  My cats used to love Science Diet, but don't know why they
just suddenly stopped eating it.  I've reintroduced it on occasion and still
they don't eat it.  Pro Plan used to make a really good Lamb dry cat food,
but haven't seen it in a long time.   I don't like to give my cats much
fishy foods, but I do get the Pro Plan Salmon small cans for an occasional
dietary variable.  Some petstore brands are, also quite good.  One of my
cats is an avid lover of PetsMart Authority Lamb & Rice .. both dry and
canned.  Pro Plan is one dry food I, also, will put in my battery operated
food dispenser and all three of my cats like all of the different flavors.
But, they have done the same thing with Pro Plan as they've done with
Science Diet .. they just stop eating it.  But, I have reintroduced the Pro
Plan off and on and they do eat it again, but they don't want to have
anything to do with Science Diet.  Perhaps the cannery that inventories my
local stores is different than others elsewhere, so dunno.  What i've done
in the past is to go into a petstore and buy two cans of each flavor and
brand and keep my receipt on the fridge.  I'll stack them in an order and
will put a check or an "x" on the receipt to indicate yes or no.  Then, I'll
try the second can at a later time to see if I have same result.  Two "x's"
I draw a line thru to not buy again, lol.  The hard part with this system is
remembering to take the receipt off the fridge to take with me the next time
I go shopping <smile>.

Some cats are prone to having urinary problems on Wellness.  I was advised
this by a vet.  He recommended feeding Innova, Fromm's and Nature's Balance
and rotate between the brands so each time you open a new can it's a
different brand.

I did this a year ago and I saw great improvements in my cats appearances
and health

fuga.

I agree with Karen.  Petguard is a good food.  I used to feed it to my cats
when they were kittens and they really liked it.
Another option you might want to try is if you have a Whole Foods Market near
you, they usually carry the better brands like Petguard, Nature's Variety and
Newman's Organic.

Can you tell me if PetGuard is chunky or smooth?  It was suggested
that my cat would have an easier time without the chunks.

I switched to Wellness a few months ago and am happy with it. If you
go to the company's web site you can search for a retailer near you:
