Hi!
I just moved Polly and Roxie off of SD onto Natural Balance. Polly, has only eaten SD with us. She had kitten her first year, then I switched her to the SD Natural formula. I had JUST ran out of food the day we got the kitten. The vet said that it would be okay to feed Polly the SD kitten for a few days until I could drive to Dallas and get the SD Natural. (they did not stock the natural)
Well, i went home and did some research. I found that a lot of people here like the Natural Balance. I also found that the natural balance does not need to destinguish between Kitten and Adult. (I figured that would make feeding time THAT much easier for me)
I really liked how there were no corn or wheat fillers and the protien source used was high quality protien. Not random Chicken lips and teeth.
So, here is my question.
I have heard that it is best to make sure that your protiens are coming from one source. Meaning. one kind of animal. Chicken. Beef. Fish. Not a mixture of meats. So I bought the Venison and Pea formula. That is INTENDED for cats with allergies. But I am hoping it is just as good for cats without them. I had a couple sample bags, and my kitties liked the venison and pea formula better anyway.
Is that ok?
What do you guys feed? Is there any way to encourage a cat to eat wet food? Polly doesn't seem interested at all. The kitten likes it tough.
