I found some sample size bags of this online and the shipping wasn't horrible so I bought a few. Does this sound like a good diet (I liked the fact that there was little grain and no corn in it)? Do you think it would work for kittens? (I'll probably try mixing in some with their kitten nutro nat. choice for variety's sake).

It would be a good mix .... but it is more GRAINY than there current ... 4 meats 3 grains 2 grain likes... Many avoid Garlic since it is connected to deaths from anemia... I dont like salt that high as it is for a flavor not nutrient at the leval

THANK YOU for showing the Garlic! I was going to try it on my babies but not with Garlic in it.

Wellness used to use Garlic but I 'think" they stopped due to customer complaints.

Yes, Wellness is taking the garlic out of their food. The dry formulas are on the shelves now, but my cats won't eat the 2 I tried. I'm waiting for the canned garlic-free food to make it to the only store that carries it in this area.
