Hi all,
I used to feed my cats this brand:
Pronature Holistic
Turkey, chicken meal, brown rice, chicken fat naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, dried potato products, pearled barley, oat groats, herring meal, dried cranberries, dried egg product, natural chicken flavor, peas, dried apple pomace, dried tomato pomace, calcium carbonate, whole flaxseed, lecithin, choline chloride, monosodium phosphate, salt, potassium chloride, sodium bisulfate, taurine, yeast extract, crab and shrimp meal, ferrous sulfate, DL methionine, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), dried chicory root (a source of inulin), zinc oxide, sodium selenite, alpha tocopherol acetate (a source of vitamin E), New Zealand green mussels, sea cucumber, nicotinic acid, Yucca schidigera extract, calcium iodate, manganous oxide, D calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin A supplement, cholecalciferol (a source of vitamin D3), biotin, organic dried blueberries, organic dried pineapple, organic ginger, organic quinoa, organic anise seed, organic dried seaweed meal, organic dehydrated alfalfa meal, organic green tea extract, organic dried rosemary, organic dried parsley, organic dried spearmint, organic turmeric, organic dried thyme, organic cinnamon, organic dried spinach, organic dried broccoli, organic dried cauliflower, zinc proteinate, vitamin B12 supplement, cobalt carbonate, manganese proteinate, folic acid, copper proteinate.
My cats were doing great, their coats were unbelievably smooth, a great improvement from the previous food. But then the store didn't sell it any longer and I switched to Felidae Pure Elements, which have a better quality on paper (it's more expensive too):
Chicken meal, turkey meal, lamb, potatoes, potato protein, peas, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), natural flavor, fish meal, choline chloride, DL-methionine, taurine, suncured alfalfa meal, inulin (from chicory root), lecithin, sage extract, cranberries, beta-carotene, rosemary extract, sunflower oil, yucca schidigera extract, dried enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product, dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product, dried trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract, zinc proteinate, vitamin E supplement, niacin, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin A supplement, biotin, potassium iodide, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, papaya, pineapple.
Within days, their coats got worse, gone were the silky smoothness. I wonder why? Now it's been almost a month since the switch and no improvement on the coats. I guess I have to settle with this.
