If it ain't broke don't fix it...I've been feeding my 18 year-old Sasha the Royal Canin Mature dry food for many years and incorporated Performatrin Ultra wet food to his diet in the past few weeks.
In Tiggy's case, the little rascal prefers the Performatrin Ultra to his regular wet kitten food...so I feed him that, and he polishes off his plate. As of late, he's been liking Sasha's kibble better than his own Science Diet kitten dry...so I'm gradually switching Tiggy over to Royal Canin kitten...
Now that I'm "educating myself" on proper cat nutrition and paying attention to ingredients; I'm concerned that the main protein source of the Royal Canin dry food is chicken meal; actual chicken being a thrid ingredient.
I looked it up on Wikipedia

according to this, chicken meal packs more protein than actual chicken...but is it actually healthy?
