Hello, everyone! I have three cats and I've come to realize that they're not on the best diet. Well, I knew it wasn't the best, but I didn't know just how poor it was. And with one cat overweight and one underweight, I think it's time for a change. The problem is that it isn't cheap.
Right now they're on Friskies wet and the boys are on Purina One Urinary Tract Support (and sometimes Hairball Control) and Ember is on True Instinct grain free. I think I'm going to leave the dry food for the time being since it gets a bit costly and I think it would be a bit much to change both at one time. That being said, I would be open to recommendations if there are any better foods around the same price range as what they're already on.
But at the moment my main priority is the wet food. I've been doing some research, but there's a lot to consider. I want to avoid fillers, grains, artificial stuff, etc. Ember really needs to lose a bit of weight and I'm hoping something better will get Frost's attention. He hasn't been eating well.
So far I think the two I'm considering are Nature's Variety Instinct and Weruva. I like that Instinct is at PetSmart, so I know I have access to it though I'm thinking about just ordering their food. They also seem to have a large variety of things and I was even considering in getting some of their toppers? I want to do a little more research in that, but it seemed interesting.
However, I've heard good things about Weruva too and I read that where they get their meat from ensures the ethical treatment of the animals, which is definitely a plus for me. This one I do not know of a store where I can buy it, but I can order it.
Also, I was wondering if it would be okay to rotate foods. Some time on the higher quality food and then some time on the Friskies? Perhaps use a little of the toppers with the Friskies?
If you have any opinions on the matter, please let me know! I'm still open to other options too, but I can't afford anything too expensive.
