I would look into your pet specialty shops for the best brands of cat food. I am not the biggest fan of Iams or Friskies, not enough usable protein that your cat needs. IMO most of the cat foods found in grocery stores may not have the best ingredients for your cat. I feed my Chester Cheetah Nutro, mostly the Natural Choice weight management(cause he is a chubby guy ) but sometimes I switch to the Max Cat. Or I just mix the two. He isn't picky. I have heard good things about Innova too. Every cat is different on what works for them, just like us non furry humans.

You could check online by doing a search with your zip code to the closest dealer of the food you are looking for.

Good luck!

Independent feed stores and pet stores usually sell the really high-end foods. But PetCo and Petsmart both have a decent selection.

Go to naturas site they have a where to find tab .... Otherwise like Laureen and Willowy answered Big box pet store ( Ca may also have pet supply plus or pet expo )

is there a decent way to order good food online or is that usually more expensive then buying at the store?

depend s on how much shipping is .. For some a % off coupon takes care of shipping and then the food is about= in price to most stores... Get free shipping and usually it is less than the store... For me I have yet to figure it cheaper than going into the store as the store is about 2 miles and I can walk that

Friskies and Iams (dry) are poor quality foods now. So its not a good idea to be feeding it - far too much corn products in it. The more premium foods can be bought at Petsmart or Petco in the US.

I've been feeding California Natural for a little while now. Sometimes it's cheaper at the doggy day care food store here, but our last bag was from Pet Food Direct. They had their free shipping coupon AND the cat food was on sale for cheaper than locally.

I've bought TOTW from West Coast Pet Supply. They ship from California so the shipping cost is not as high for me as most of the others. They also have decent prices. With shipping included I end up paying about the same as I do here driving 35 miles (each way) and paying sales tax. Since you're in California you may have to pay sales tax anyway.

thanks i wonder if i order a big bag will it come str8 to my door or the post office?


between iams whiskers and friskys which would u guys say is the best?

It will come to whichever address you give them. I believe that UPS delivers only to a physical address, not a P.O. box.


Are you talking about wet or dry food for the Iams and Friskies? They are both fairly low quality protein in the dry food, but the wet food is considerably better. If you look at the ingredients list you'll see corn as the first ingredient in Friskies. Iams at least has chicken or chicken byproducts as the first. However, I tried Iams once when I was experimenting with a lot of different foods and none of my cats would touch it. I don't know anything about Whiskers.

Personally I wouldn't feed either Iams or Friskies dry food to my cats. I do give them Friskies prime filets for their wet food. It may not be the highest quality, but it's not bad, and it's the only type of wet food two of my cats will eat.

A lot comes down to what you can afford and what your kitties will eat.

so friskys wet food is actually ok u think>? i have that actually right now lol

Some of it is better than others. Check the ingredient list on the can. I use only the Prime Filets, partly because it's the only texture that several of my cats will eat--they turn their noses up at pate. The prime filets also have a named meat (beef, chicken, turkey) as the first ingredient after water. A lot of the pates list unnamed meat byproducts first. That's still better than corn as the first ingredient IMO.
