Is this kibble? I don't like the ingredients. Too many fillers.

I agree about the fillers - too many grains and  uncessary stuff a cat needs. Pet food companies often put in filler ignredients to appeal to a Human's sense of what good nutrition is (quinoa and chia are "trendy" now, flaxseed is seen as healthy, etc)..

The company makes containers of wet food as well which have less fillers but are likely on the higher end of carbs because they in gravy.

That makes alot of sense.
Thanks for the reply.

For the last 5 years my cat has lived on Costco bags of Whiskas with the occasional cheap can of wet food here and there. Money was an issue. It used to cost me $50 a year to feed her.

I've only just recently had the means to try and give her a better diet.

I still can't afford to switch her over exclusively to a high quality wet food as much as I would like to, but I'm trying to get her onto a good dry food with a wet food mixed in daily.

I guess I'll get her some Blue dry food with a dollop of wet food on top everyday for the moisture. Theres no issue with mixing wet and dry like that is there?
