Without going into my whole predicament....please understand I KNOW wet is better, and I'm working on it, so please let that go.....
I currently have a prescription dry food that I want to change as it is not necessary anymore for my cats. (And let's face it, the ingredients aren't fantastic....) I have been trying to find a low carb dry kibble food. I do NOT care if it has grains or is grain free. What I do care is that it does not have corn, peas, potatoes or soy and is low carb.
It seems like even the "with grain" foods are now adding peas and potatoes in their formulas which is very frustrating.
I'm also not totally opposed to having a NAMED meat meal, as long as it's not the main protein source.
I'm in Canada, so unfortunately Dr. Elsey's is not available, at least not where I live. Even Amazon only offers the clean protein salmon, and my kitties are not that fussy for salmon, not to mention the shipping fees are ridiculous.
I have been scouring the internet for foods available in Canada and one looked promising except that the first ingredient was a named meat meal (chicken). The rest was great though, with very low carbs no peas potatoes corn soy or other legumes....IDK, what are your thoughts on meat meals if they are a named single source animal? Especially if it is rendered on site - I know where it comes from.
I have been reading up on meat meals and there is quite a bit of difference of opinion, depending on if it's made from the whole animal vs "beaks and feathers", if it's shipped from various sources vs. made on site or shipped from a named factory...IDK....Overall, I would think that a meat meal is still a better option than plants for protein source....
Please help.
