So... I have a little extra money and decided to get some Merrick for Zissou. I got 2 of the 8-flavor variety pack. So we are going to try it. She has been eating mostly Iams Kitten pouches, but also various other flavors. I even bought her the tuna weight control on accident (someone was flirting with me at the store and I got distracted...) and she LOVED it. She doesn't really care between pate and chunky either.
Anyway. My experiment will be to feed her the Merricks for a while and see if theres a difference. If there is it'll get rotated in with the Iams, and if not I'll forget it.
I was inspired to do this because while I went on vacation my sister was feeding her 9lives wet and wow did she stink!!! She smelled...oily...when I got home. And didn't seem quite as happy, although it could be cause she missed me. As soon as I got her back on her regular diet (which, she did not like, mind you!) she started smelling like, well, kinda like the woods in spring? And she got softer and bouncier!
My point is, will Iams be the new 9lives (for Zissou, anyway)? Will I notice even more of a difference? Or will it be too short of a period? It will be about a month, all told (she'll get half a 3.5 oz can every day, so 32 days).
Any experience?
