Browsing the aisles at Target this evening I came across a bag of Petguard dry cat food. The ingredients look pretty good... anyone have any opinions or experience?? Thanks

Could not help but notice "PetGuard". My cat eats a mixture of 60% PetGuard Super Premium and 40% PetPromise Daily Health. We settled on this mixture simply because the ingrediants "looked good" and the cat loves them.
After reading posts in this forum all evening I don't know what to think. Especially when I consider what the vet told me about this diet.

If it is working for your cat s then exidently it is working for them... The ingrediants are decent in both foods .... NO FOOD is Perfect

And let me point out that the last line of this post is so true it ought to be self-evident, but maybe it's not.

Even what the cat would eat in the wild is not a perfect diet. Why? Because if it was, all feral cats would be the picture of health and happiness, and we know that's not true. There are many hundreds of diseases and parasites in what a cat would "naturally" eat, and at any given time of year, there might not be enough to support health, or it might be too heavily concentrated on one type of animal or another.

Kibble isn't the natural food of cats, but the odds are good that a cat living indoors and eating a decent kibble will live longer than a cat living outdoors and eating "natural" food.
