I'm sure this will get some replys and spark some debates.
What are the best cat foods for nutritional and health values? Canned and
dry.
I got my Stevie at the Humane Sociaty of Santa Clara County and they
adamently recommend
Royal Cainen- dry
Wellness- can

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks!!

Both good, nut I am not sure there is a "best" for all cats. I choose
from what's available at Petsmart, because they have a store nearby.
I feed mostly canned, only occasional dry.

In general canned is prefferable to dry, but dry does have some dental
benefits. So my choice is to feed 80 - 90% canned and 10 - 20% a dry dental
diet.

I think there are several good brands, I'll stay out of that one (for the
most part)

I thought all dry had some dental benefit---for myself though I won't
give up brushing in favor of chewing pretzels :) --- but is there one
especially formulated as "dental"?

Yes, there's Science Diet Oral Care, Hills T/D and I beleive Friskies has
one as well. They basically use bigger chunks so there's more contact
between food & teeth. T/D also has a different type of fiber that's
supposed to have some scrubbing effect.

Probably all dry does have some dental benefit, my cats had fewer dental
issues while they were eating 100% dry. But other issues caused my to
change to canned, so I try to preserve some dental benefit by using the
bigger chunk dental foods.

Our cats have moved onto Olli lately

www.ollipetcare.com

The actual meat content in the biscuits seems far higher than others and
we've noticed a real personality change for the better in one of the cats
since she moved onto eating them
