Hi All!
My cat Taz turned a year old April 15. I've had him since he was about 4 weeks old as a rescue in our church parking lot. I bottle fed him at first with KMR until he was about 6 weeks or so. I started him on Royal Canin baby cat wet food, and he seemed to really like that, so I stuck with it and graduated him to the kitten formula in the same brand. I was also giving him the Royal Canin kibble for neutered kittens since I was told it helped with weight management. About 4 months or so ago I was picking up more food at PetSmart and the clerk was telling me I should switch him to grain free because it was better and the Royal Canin dry food was loaded with carbs. I tried the Simply Nourish brand Chicken and Rice for him, but then switched him to the Blue Longevity. The Blue brand is very fishy with the first ingredients being:
deboned whitefish, salmon meal (source of DHA), menhaden fish meal (source of omega-3 fatty acids), chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), peas, whole ground brown rice, pea protein, potatoes, oatmeal, whole ground barley, eggs, natural flavor, oat bran, carrots, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes (source of lycopene), rice bran, flaxseed (source of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids), alfalfa meal, taurine, sunflower oil (source of omega-6 fatty acids), fish oil (source of omega-3 fatty acids), L-lysine, oil of rosemary, cranberries, blueberries, apples, barley grass, dried parsley, dried kelp, yucca schidigera extract, L-carnitine, turmeric, beta carotene, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), d-calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), biotin (vitamin B7), folic acid (vitamin B9), vitamin B12 supplement, calcium ascorbate (source of vitamin C), vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, iron amino acid chelate, zinc amino acid chelate, manganese amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, choline chloride, sodium selenite, calcium iodate, salt, caramel, dried yeast (source of saccharomyces cerevisiae), dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried bacillus subtilis fermentation product and dried enterococcus faecium fermentation product
