Frisco eats Eagle Pack - Adult Cat (ingredients listed below). The other day I went shopping with my mother and we decided to see what was in stock at the pet store (this is not the same pet store I buy Frisco's food from) and I noticed they had Felidae, which was cheaper than Eagle Pack (I was surprised because everything in there is so over priced). I was wondering which food has better ingredients. If Eagle Pack is better I will stick with it, but if Felidae (ingredients listed below) is better I don't mind making a switch as it's a fair price.



Eagle Pack Ingredients:Chicken Meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Chicken Fat (Preserved With Natural Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Dried Beet Pulp, Anchovy & Sardine Meals, Sun-Cured Alfalfa, Brewers Dried Yeast, Flaxseed, Natural Chicken Flavor, Wheat Germ Meal, Dried Egg Product, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Tomato Pomace, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Cranberries, DL-Methionine, Polysaccharide Complexes of Zinc, Iron, Manganese and Copper, Calcium Carbonate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Vitamin A Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Ascorbic Acid, Biotin, Lecithin, Rosemary Extract, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Folic Acid, Vitamin B 12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Phylloquinone and Cobalt Sulfate, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecium, B.

I think they only have the chicken and rice formula so that is what I listed.

Eagle Pack
Felidae

Felidae looked better to me as well, but I wanted to check here before I made my decision.

Thanks, sharky, that helped a lot! I will be making the switch sometime soon as he is getting low on EP, I'll make sure there's enough left for me to mix it in with the new stuff.
I'll try him on the can food too!

Okay so I picked up a bag of Felidae last night, and it turns out it's the Cat and Kitten formula. The canned food is chicken & rice. I think the Cat/Kitten is better anyway because it has more meat ingredients. [link]
