I wanted to get Sharky's opinion (anyone elses too) about what would be a good food to help Cammy. If you wouldn't mind reading this thread it would explain everything, if not, I'll be here most of the day.

Right now they are on Natural Balance, Green Pea and Chicken Formula, kitten to adult because I have Abbey.

I've had her for about a year now. She was originally on Purina Complete Formula (I know that's not good, but that's what the outside kitties eat because there are so many of them), I tried to switch her to Wellness when I first got her, but I gave up. So really just the Purina and this Natural Balance.

She was on the purina when she had her obstruction, that was the only issue. She's eating the Natural Balance.

Nat, I'm not sure if I've seen Eagle Pack at Petco or not.

you could at one time get it online from them ... most small stores are likely to carry it

I've never seen EP In Petco, but rather in the other pet store here.

I guess I think my Petco is somewhat limited - Natural Balance, Nutro, Royal Canin, Science Diet, Iams, Eukanuba, Pro Plan, Purina ONE, Blue, etc. They don't have that much on the higher end scale.

I noticed the Eagle Pack has the peas in the ingredients, further down the list though. Wasn't sure if you were avoiding them. That store has a lot of great foods!! Im sure someone will come along and help you pick a food from there, I'm still new

Good luck!

This is what Neko is transitioning to!! We are on the Salmon Meal! She really likes it. She tends to pick it out of the old food. You can even rotate the different flavors (they made the different formulas for rotation, the first ingredient is the only thing that is diff)
She was having stool problems and this seems to be helping.

Do have a Petsmart? One thought I had was the Authority house brand Sensitive Solutions... it has oats and rice as the "binding agents." But it is not an all life stages food.
