Storm is currently eating TOTW dry about 1 1/3c daily (half in AM, half in PM) I would like to add canned food. Perhaps as her PM meal, she scarfs down her food and since her growing is leveling off she's starting to gain mass and not 'size'. According to TOTW's feeding recomendations she should be getting 2/3c per day which is 1 feeding but I don't think this is going to keep her feeling full and satisfied. I also an having a hard time finding GF canned food at am reasonable price. I just have access to junk like Fancy Feast, 9 Lives, ect... I can order something like Honest Kitchen online, a box would last forever, and I won't be killed with shipping costs (like ordering cans would). Any opinions of this idea, any one feed dehydrated raw or which of the 'grocery store brands are 'ok' to feed?

Look up Natures variety and Stella and chewys ... both have very solid dehydrate diets... I like dehydrate as you can serve dry or moistened and you have Zero the bacterial risk

Honest kitchen while having good solid formulas for dog s IMHO the cat one is not

Thanks for the info, I'll look those up. I found some Wellness (grain free) today at my local farm store I was so excited! I picked up 3 cans of each of 5 different varieties for Storm. I didn't think the price was too bad either $1.19 for 5.5oz can, that's the same as I found online w/o shipping.
I figure she'll get 2/3 c TOTW in the AM and half a can + some water in the PM. So I picked up over a months worth of food plus another bag of Sweat Scoop for under $30.
