As seen here:

I went to get a new bag of Natural Balance Ultra today and walked away with Grandma Mae's County Naturals instead. It was a few dollars cheaper for the same amount and seemed to have ever so slightly better ingredients. Two of the ladies at the pet store swore by it. So, I figured I'd give it a whirl.

Anyone here ever used it or have any thoughts on the ingredients?

Thanks, sharky.
I don't think she'll be allergic to anything, as I'm pretty sure the NB contains both barley and flaxseed, too. Good to know it has a good omega ratio, though!

Anyway...we'll see how it goes. Unfortunately, they don't sell Blue, Nutro or any of the other super-duper awesome foods for cats around here (dogs, yes; cats, no), so this is about as high-end as I can go without buying online
