Hello,
For the longest time I was feeding my cat Nutro Natural Choice dry food (which she liked) but have noticed in the past year or so that she always has itchy skin and is constantly scratching herself. My vet has told me that it could be due to a food allergy. I switched to Performatrin: Senior Nutrition (my cat is 10 years old) and she loves it, though the itchy dry skin is still there.
I've been hearing a lot lately about grain-free foods, so I thought I would try a few brands to see if that might help. I have tried Taste of the Wild, Now!, and even another brand (with grain) Wellness Indoor Health. Besides not liking the flavours of any of these brands, my cat is also having trouble chewing the hard kibbles. As she gets older (and has had issues with her teeth), she can only chew soft kibbles.
Even though the itchy skin has not gone away, I feel like I don't have a choice, and need to keep feeding her the Performatrin Senior Nutrition (soft small kibbles, and she loves the taste).
My question is: Does anyone have opinions or reviews about Performatrin? (if the ingredients are pretty good, etc.) I have heard about Performatrin Ultra, is this much better? This is the food that my cat loves most, and is able to chew the best. Although it is not grain-free or corn-free, so I don't know if one of those ingredients could be causing an allergy....
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
