Hey all! So I've been feeding my cat, Starbuck, Hill's science diet indoor adult dry cat food for at least a year or so now. Before that I was doing purina kitten and purina adult that I just grabbed at CVS. I thought that science diet was one of the good ones, but happened to catch a couple of comments on an article talking about how awful a brand it was. So I started googling, went through consumer reports, saw a lot of conflicting info, but a lot of people saying formulas have changed or the food is making their pets sick. I have no idea whether I should take reviews related to their dog food into account (they were all mixed together).
So I wanted to hear your thoughts on science diet, see if there's a consensus, and also any other recommendations you may have for brands (although, sadly, literally just bought a new bag a couple of days ago, but it's unopened).
A few notes about Starbuck:
- she's quite overweight (I've had very little success getting her to lose weight, but that needs its own thread)
- she's extremely picky - she seems to like most dry foods I've tried, but only a couple of treat types (most she ignores, including one of the ones she used to like), and basically no other food, not that that's super relevant
- she will not eat wet food (I've tried and failed with that transition as well)
Any information or advise you have would be greatly appreciated!
