I've checked some of the other threads here, but...

I have two cats, and I need them to shed as little as possible. One is a bengal, who actually sheds more than the DSH who seems to have a lot of oriental/bombay in him. I've heard different types of food result in less shedding. Anyhting other than dry is really not an option for me, as I'm not always home at the same time each day to open a can, thus free feeding is how it has to be. What dry food is the best for low shedding? They're eating nutromax kitten right now and the bengal especially sheds quite a bit.

That's what they're eating now (nutromax natural choice kitten, sorry!) and still the shedding! I've read Natural Balance Vension is good?

the venison is a good food, but not for shedding the omega 6 in natural choice is 4% in the venison it is 3% ... Add a little flax or olive oil..

Max kitten is 3.5% , natural choice is 4% ....

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and see if it helps! Do you notice a lot of results? I hate to change their food again so its a great alternative.

Well Zoey doesnt shed much so I guess it works .. did great for the dog since she cant handle the higher fatty acid foods
