Sho isn't too picky of an eater, but there are some brands even he will turn his nose away from. I'm a full-time college student so I can't afford expensive premium brand wet foods, but I can afford the premium dry foods.
So what I'm feeding him for wet food now is Fancy Feast--buying as many flavors as is available at my local supermarket. He had rejected Whiskas and Friskies. His previous owner said he rejected Fancy Feast... Well, he isn't rejecting it now. In fact, he really likes it.
For dry food, I'm giving him Wellness CORE, and he scarfs that down. I haven't done extensive research, but from what I've read, it's a pretty good choice. Although now, he's not supposed to be eating it since he's on a wet diet thanks to Urinary Tract Infection. However, in the mornings, I have to give him his medication and he won't touch the wet food with medication in it unless I mix in Wellness CORE.
What I'm concerned about is... is there enough nutrition in the food I'm giving him? Do I need to add vitamins or whatnot to his water? or supplement with something else? I know some people said that what's good for him is the food he's willing to eat, but I don't want him to get fat or poor nutrition.
For some background information, according to his previous owner, Sho is a purebred American Short Hair and is three years old.
