Hi. I am new here and I had a question I was hoping I could get some help with. I have been researching what to feed my cats. I currently have one skinny 2 year old male cat, very active, one 6 year old overweight female, and one ?? years old female of perfect weight who has a history of sturvite crystals. I had been feeding Eagle Pack dry only and science diet to the one with crystals. Reading online I became convinced to feed them canned only. I had gotten the switch to about 1 can each per cat per day (2 meals) and only a few kibbles at bedtime so they would let us sleep. Anyway, I have realized that this is going to cost about 100.00 per month because the cans are so expensive/ I have been alternating between Natural Balance, Nutro, Merrick, Fosters and Smith and Eagle Pack canned. I honestly can't afford to feed the canned food (I also have two large dogs to feed, plus me and my hubby).
So now that I've rambled, my question is this: Is it better to feed a high quality food with a 50/50 mix (50% Eagle Pack dry and 50% various mixed cans, or is it better to switch to all canned, but by a lesser quality supermarket food. And which one would you choose, Friskies, NIne Lives, Whiksers, Fancy Feast, etc. OR does anyone know of anything more affordable? I live in NY and can afford to spend maybe $50 - $60 per month all told to feed the three of them. Thanks for any help and sorry to ramble.
