Dandruff problem and Wellness canned food?!!!

This is a kind of question and a kind of review for my cats dandruff problem and Wellness canned food.
I notice a couple of months ago that Mitu started having dandruff on his back. I read all about it, I asked the nice people of this site and I started giving him fish oil.
Now as abit of his story, my cat eats one canned of wet food a day ( half morning, half night) and abit of dry in between. I tried to change his wet food often because he likes that but he felt in LOVE with the WELLNESS SIGNATURE SELECTS. He would not eat anything besides that so thats what I kept buying him for months.
Now I notice that after a month or so hes dandruff was getting worse even with me giving him fish oil. I called the vet, they gave me their fish oil saying is stronger and better, I bought it. But another idea came to me, how about start changing his wet food? And thats exactly what I started doing about a month ago, I started giving him HALO, AVODERM, MERRICKS and Wellness only once a week. Guess what? Since I did that his dandruff is already gone and his coat is so much better.
As a side note, about 2 years ago I tried giving him Wellness dry food. It was ok the first 2 days but then he started throwing up as soon as he eat it. I had to change it imediatly ( I have him on Instinct now) and the problem stoped. I will keep giving him once a week wellness food because he loves it so much, at least for now, but from my experiance with this brand Ill say its not good or worth buying it.
Now to my questions, can a "premium" canned cat food be bad? Would Wellness have something in it that my cat doesn't like or can it be that their premium food is nothing but low food with a big cost ( 2.19$ per can)?
Did anyone had this problem before?
Thank you for looking at my questions and also Im sorry for my bad english, im still learning it.

You can't just go by brand names.  You need to compare the ingredients of the particular food and flavors you are using.  You can usually Google them and find a list of ingredients, or read the cans if you have good eyes.  It could be a difference in the type of protein, the type of fat, the ratio of protein to fat, etc. or even an allergy to one of the ingredients.   Also,, every new bag of dry food or can of food produced at a different time does constitute a "new" food.  You can get a bad batch of food, it happens all the time!  A lot of the more severe problems when animals become sick due to a problem with the food is that people assume it is NOT the food.   You have to become a detective.

"He's been eating [YOUNAMEIT] food for 5 years and never had any problem with it."  Sometimes people get the animal off the offending food but then put it back on again when the illness clears, only to have the illness come back.  After that happens a few times, they DO figure it out eventually, but it's really wise to always consider that the food could be the cause of the problem, even if you have used the same brand and flavor for years.  Pay attention to when you opened the last new bag or new can and then search Google or other places to see if there are any recent complaints about that food.

Can a premium food be bad?  Absolutely.   But chances are it is better than cheap food.  The food is not inspected by the government.   Even AAFCO approval does not tell you about the quality.   All it does is give you a false sense of security that the food is healthy.   It really just means that the food will meet the most minimum basic of requirements to keep the animal alive for X number of days.   The animal might feel lousy for that period of time but AAFCO is not concerned with how good your cat feels.... only that it is able to perform at a minimum required level.

Im very disapointed that this is the case. I wish we could have the peace of mind that the food we are feeding our cat/dog babies is great. But I did cut the wellness food from his food and his coat and skin are improving every day.

Alot of people feel the same way.   That is why they decided to make the food themselves.   You control what goes into it.   Instead of trusting petfood companies that  cannot be trusted.

there is a forum dedicated to the topic on this site with knowledgeable people.

Like anything in life, it may be difficult at first but becomes easier with experience.   Think how difficult it was to drive a car the first time - pretty scary. 

Is the problem throwing up? Or the dandruff? Are u sure they just arent eating to fast?

The throwing up problem was about 2 years ago when I put him on Wellness dry food. Of course, I stoped giving him the food as soon as I knew it was what was making him sick.
The problem right now is the dandruff with the wet food. But I did stop giving him that food and his dandruff is disapearing.

One option you can try before diving into making your own food is to buy commercial home-made food.  I know it sounds like a contradiction in terms but there is one brand that is basically the exact same a you would make yourself - only it comes frozen.   It is called RadCat and comes in about 4 different flavors.   Some specialty pet food shops carry it in their freezer.  A store called Global near me has it.   It is also available online actually cheaper but not sure about shipping.   http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/Rad-Cat-Raw-Cat-Food-Diet/537000.aspx

My cat loved the Turkey flavor.
