I will soon be unable to get my normal Proplan food for my cat according to the vet here in Turkey.
He has suggested Royal Canin or Genesis(harrison pet products). Can any of you nutritional wizards let me know A) are these quality foods & if so B) which one would be best.
Mine is an indoor adult 3yr old cat if that helps.

Thanks in anticipation.

Royal Canin Indoor Adult 27
Chicken meal, brown rice, rice, corn, corn gluten mealOne is fine but both is not needed.., chicken fat, chicken, natural chicken flavor, pea fiber, rice flour, rice hulls, wheat gluten natural flavor could be arsenic or msg as both are natural, dried beet pulp (sugar removed), soya oil, sodium silico aluminate, dried brewers yeast beet for processing .. yeast for allergen , fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), anchovy oil (source of EPA/DHA), calcium sulfate, salt, potassium chloride, dried egg product, choline chloride, DL-methionine, taurine, Vitamins [DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), niacin supplement, biotin, riboflavin (vitamin B2) supplement, D-calcium pantothenate, vitamin A acetate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], sodium tripolyphosphate, tea (green tea extract), Trace Minerals [zinc oxide, zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite], L-Carnitine, preserved with natural mixed tocopherols (source of vitamin E) and citric acid, rosemary extract.
Most of this one is easier to absorb minerals

Thanks for that. It really is a nightmare trying to find anything anywhere near healthy here. I guess I will just have to keep looking.
All the good ones that have been mentioned on the site you can't get here

Thanks to you both
