These are the ingredients in Performatrin Ultra which is the current food I have introduced to CoCo and Ginger...what do you think?

Blurb on the food...

Performatrin Ultra embraces a holistic approach to pet nutrition through the use of fresh, whole foods, supplemented with functionally beneficial ingredients. Consider: spinach and rosemary containing antioxidants to fight nasty disease-causing free radicals, probiotics and prebiotics for a healthier digestive tract, cranberries in the cat formula to help with urinary tract care.

I just bought a large bag of Performatrim for Bijou and Mika yesterday. I am currently feeding Bijou a natural food (can't remember the name) and he eats it but prefers Mika's Performatrim kitten food. Since he is 14.7 lbs (not your typical Siamese I don't think), I figure he doesn't need kitten food but it's hard to keep him away from it. Besides now that Mika is out with Bijou all the time, she eats his food too. Having said that, I decided to just feed them both the Performatrim maintenance.

Our vet said Performatrim was one of the best quality foods so we shall be using it from now on. I believe it is the house brand of PetValu and is not available at other pet stores. I could be wrong about that though as I'm prone to "senior moments".
