Which one do you think is better and why?
I've been feeding Jake royal canin but I'm trying to find cheaper alternatives without giving up the good quality if that's possible lol...I can't afford wellness, I can afford avoderm but I'd love to be paying the price of authority. I will be feeding him authority canned, but for dry I want a bit better quality. Well I could be wrong but I think avoderm dry is better quality than authority dry...am I right?
I'd appreciate your thoughts as well as any suggestions..so far I'm probably going to switch to avoderm but I want to see if you guys think its about the same quality as RC. And also if you have any suggestions for anything cheaper but similar quality..

Avoderm is a solid food ( it is corny though) RC is a decent food but IMHO too grainy for the $$

I would take avoderm over authority... do you have a Costco??

Well at 8 months I thought I'm supposed to be free feeding still? Isn't that right?

You don't have to free feed at any age. by 8 months for a neuter I wouldn't free feed unless it's a specific amount - not just filling up the bowl.

I made a huge mistake free feeding my 4.....Oh are they FAT CATS.... I don't free feed and have not for about 9 months now. I thought they were to eat more as young cats, my mistake.
