I also meant to ask before, if I offer a variety of different canned (say NV, Wellness and Nutro) will it cause a stomach upset due to different brands/favors?

Thank all of you very much!
I'll visit Chewy and order from there.
I think I have Natures Variety, Nutro, Wellness and Primal on my list!
They enjoyed both freeze dried and raw of the NV so hopefully it's the same case with the Primal. I'll send them an email as well! I can't thank you enough for all the help.
Hopefully I can get them on a food that doesn't make them sick.
You are very welcome . Good Luck ..

Unless your cat has a medical issue  I  think rotation is good and should not upset unless they are super sensitive .

And a warning if you do try Primal: just because a cat likes the freeze-dried Primal doesn't mean a cat will like the frozen Primal, which apparently is the exact same ingredients! Our cats used to eat both but only like freeze-dried now.
I don't think my cats would eat the frozen raw anyway ..

I agree. And rotation is super-important around here because our cats get bored with their canned foods very easily!

You are welcome! That's a good sign that your cats like the freeze-dried NV raw food. I hope they like Primal, too. Our cats just love the stuff: we feed it in various blends of all their flavors so they don't get bored but even so, I can't believe they'll eat it twice a day!

Again, good luck! It may take some trial and error but I'm sure you'll figure something out.

Hmm, my cats are pretty sensitive, so I'll try a couple for now and possible add more later?
I would love to offer variety I just worry about one getting sick

Have been feeding Tiki Cat chicken (Puka Puka) straight through with no issues.  I don't find a safety issue with it, and actually these cans have about 220 calories making them higher than many. It is a very high priced food to begin with, though, so the higher calories just gets it back closer to a typical high-quality food price.

I don't think I could feed my one cat enough without this being one of the foods she eats.  She's very picky and this is her favorite.

I dunno if it's just a coincidence or not, but we haven't noticed any more black specks ever since we switched our guy over to their Gourmet Carnivore flavors.  Then again, maybe that's just because Buddy loves the new stuff so much more, and gobbles it down before we have a chance to get a good look. ;-)

For the stinky poo, i would give them a good probiotic. I know a lot of people use this one, i use it as well and it helps SO MUCH. I give it to all my cats, but it really helps my kittens as they get some upset tummy issues when i change foods (i rotate a lot of foods for variety).
