So I went downtown to a specialty pet food and supply store today. They sell mostly the high quality foods although they do sell things like Iams, Science Diet, & Purina. I went there because they sell the wellness canned by the case and they have the big 12.5 ounce cans which is helpful for feeding 3 boys a day.
When I plopped 2 cases of canned grain free Wellness up onto the checkout counter, the guy asked me if I was feeding all wet. When I said yes he proceeded to tell me that the food was 78% water (DUH) and that there weren't enough nutrients in the food to feed it as a cat's sole diet. He said I should supplement with some dry food which has all of the vitamins and nutrients in it that a cat needs in his diet. This was all news to me, as I have read over and over that a wet diet is best for cats and that Wellness is excellent quality nutritious food. One good thing he said that made sense was that Ennova was good.
Amadeus is on a new diet (please feel free to visit Amadeus' Diet as inspired by Molly the cat) and I read so many places that Wellness was a great food. So what the heck is this guy talking about?? Sharky, I know you're particularly knowledgeable on foods... any advice?
