I believe my kitties are getting sick of their wet food.

Currently they eat Natural Balance Salmon and Green Pea kibble and wet food. One has allergies (intolerance's) and they won't eat apart. It's been tried and it's useless.

Needless to say, we need to try another flavor of the wet food.

However, it cannot have grains or poultry. This is what the vet states and she doesn't mind the food they are on and has no issues with their diet. Says they are doing well on it and everything :-)

Suggestions?

Please no raw suggestions :-)

Here are the main ones that I can think of:

Nature's Variety 95%
-beef
-lamb
-rabbit
-venison

EVO 95%
-salmon & herring
-beef
-duck
-venison

Before Grain 96%
-Salmon
-Beef
-Tuna

FYI, the companies above all use the exact same ingredients for their cat and dog foods - for the varieties of canned food listed above. So you can get bigger cans of these - just get the 13 ounce dog ones. If you don't trust me, just go check out their sites, and compare ingredients/calories/guaranteed analysis/nutrient analysis for the above foods

Last time I checked, some but not all of those flavors are the same in their cat and dog foods. I know you are passionate about them being the same, but I would not recommend to others to switch them up because if the company decides to change ingredients, you may not notice right away and cause harm to your pets. Not to mention that Evo was bought up by another company and I know they are now under suspicions that their ingredients will turn for the worse.

But yea, basically all those foods are poultry and grain free. I will list some others tomorrow as it's late here now.

I would and always do check myself each time to make sure ingredients are the same... If you find them to be the same still advised to get a Thorough listing of micro and macro nutrients from the company's ( most good ones are more than willing)...

There have been a lot of suggestions so I won't add to that. I will caution you to check out *any* food you choose with your vet. By all means do some research and find out what you might like to switch the meezers to but do run it by your vet before making the actual change. Good luck to you and your kitties

I picked up some options at a local store today and will be calling the vet to make sure next week. Thanks everyone for your input and my apologies for not responding sooner--so busy!
