I have one cat that has an allergy to corn. I also am suspecting I have at least 3 cats that are allergic to Salmon. I have them on a Local pet food store's store brand. It's called Perfectly natural and has no corn in it. They've been on it over a year, and at least two cats have had a brown waxy build up in their ears (one cat it caused a bacteria infection). The vet has seen the two with waxy ear build up and it's not mites. It's definitely from allergies. I have my oldest cat who is 16 has recently within the last year they've been on the food been scratching her head and I find scabs on her chin from time to time. The one ingredient that is most prominently in the food is Salmon. Salmon is like the 4th ingredient and like the 7th ingredient is salmon oil. They were previously on Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul. They were on that for approximately a year and I switched to the Mounds because it was a few dollars cheaper with what seemed like better ingredients. But looking back on the Pet lover's brand it too has Salmon in it, and it's like the 5th ingredient. I'm hesitant to go back on it because it has Salmon in it.
Does anyone know of a dry food that doesn't have salmon in it, or corn? Hopefully one that isn't more than like $35 for a 20lb bag? I found one food which I'd LOVE to put all my cats on but the price is astronomical. It's $57.99 and it doesn't say for what size bag. I'm betting it's a 10 or 12lb bag. I'd need two (basically 1 1/2 a month) a month. I have 5 cats and would put them all on it to make it easier.
Just trying to find a solution withing my budget $60 a month( and that includes cat litter in there as well). I'm getting frustrated and coming up empty handed. Anyone have some solutions? I've looked into making it myself but it gets too complicated trying to keep most of the cats out of the cat food dish while letting others eat whatever they want. Really looking for something I could put them all on and that fits in the budget. Maybe that just doesn't exist.
I know I've been told that good quality wet is what they should be eating anyways, however, even friskies I can't afford for them to all be on.
Just hoping someone might have some solutions.
Thanks!
