Really? Why? Authority has pretty good ingredients for the price. The canned is better than the dry, as usual, but neither are bad.
Grreat Choice is another Petsmart exclusive brand. They have a lot, apparently :lol3:.
It's a Petsmart brand, so you won't find it at Petco. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4230546&f=PAD/psNotAvailInUS/Noi saw it advertized as being sold at petco too. but on the actual website they do not show it.
It's sold in stores only.
Here are the ingredients for the chicken recipe: Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Oean Fish, Brewers Rice, Dried Egg Product, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Brewers Dried Yeast, Vitamins (Vitamin E, A, D3, B12 Supplements, Thiamine, Mononitrate, Niacin, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, (Folic Acid, Biotin), Minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Proteinate, Manganous Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenite), Choline Chloride, Taurine.
It's one of the cheapest canned foods you can feed to a cat, and the only ingredients that may be an issue are the ocean fish and brewer's rice. Dried egg product just boosts protein.
i have just started buying a brand only sold at petsmart as well. it seems good to me..for my grrlz.

they seem to enjoy the dry food..i mix the turkey one with the salmon one. and they only like a couple of the canned foods.
the 3 oz cans are just too expensive tho. ugh! so i am probably going to try to find an alternative there, with another GOOD brand that is health but not so expensive.
any suggestions will be appreciated.

The 13 oz. cans of EVO are economical and a very healthy food. I have seen the 13 oz. cans of Innova at Pet Valu for 1.69. That is a great value for healthy food.
I think they sell both brands at Petsmart too.

Interesting, Sally. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I do remember I was shocked to see the difference between the Weruva info based off of the guaranteed analysis, and Dr. Pierson's chart (which is based on average nutritional info the company sends up).
hmmm....i wonder tho...
that sounds like a good deal. but beings that it is such a big can..would it be worth it for me, since i have to limit the canned food for my 2 oldest?
one wastes it and the other will eat too much and vomit a little while later.
i am asking becuz of the fact that the canned food i have says to feed it within 24-48 hours after opening.
13 oz. will provide about 4 meals. If you're feeding 2 cats you will finish the can in 1 day. I have to admit I love the convenience of 3 oz cans but sometimes I need better prices.
well..that is the prob for me. i don't feed em canned 2 times a day. only in the evening. (and i actually have 3 goofy kitties.)
i feed them a little dry in the morning, afternoon, and before we go to bed. dinner time is canned food time..around the same time we humans eat dinner.
i do it that way becuz it is cheaper for us. and i have to limit the canned food..as stated above.
would it benefit them to feed the canned 2 times a day and dry for afternoon and night?
or maybe someone have a better suggestion?

I'm sorry, when I estimated amounts I was thinking for cats who are on canned food only. If they eat dry too, it might take a while to go through a big can. The moisture is good for them though, I would feed wet twice a day if you can.
Your kitties are cuties!

Some flavors are in gelee instead of tapioca starch. I think they are mostly seafood flavors so I feed them about once a week. They are low-carb.
all 3 of my grrlz eat the wet food. maybe i could try feeding em canned 2 times a day and see how it goes. in fact right now that would help with them eating up the cheap brand quicker.I'm sorry, when I estimated amounts I was thinking for cats who are on canned food only.

thnx. i love my grrlz. as you probably can tell.
your tabbies are cute too.
I have one kitty who will only eat EVO, so I have a separate can for her in the fridge. For one cat eating canned food only, the can lasts about 2 1/2 days, and I've never had any problem with it going bad. So with 3 cats eating from the can, even as just part of their diet, I don't think it would be a problem.
The other thing you can do is get an ice cube tray for the canned food, and freeze the excess. Just dump the "cat food cubes" in a bag when frozen. To dethaw, take however many cubes you want out, put them in a baggie, and put them in a bowl of lukewarm water for a few minutes. Then they're fresh and you don't need to worry about kitty not liking them because they taste "old," or they've been in the fridge for a few days... 
OOOH!!! GREAT IDEA!!!LDG

Actually, I saw that recommended here on TCS. :lol3: I think the idea originates from Dr. Pierson ( http://www.catinfo.org).
question..........
what is everyone's take on SALT being added to the food?
i was actually checking out the good brands for canned foods. a lot of them have salt and a few other crappy things.
the brands i have been looking at do not have salt.
i actually bought a couple different ones today to see how the grrlz like em. 2 cans of AvoDerm and 2 of Soulistic. the prices are pretty much the same as the Simply Nourish which is what my original choice is. altho i am considering switching it up with Simply Nourish and another brand..to give a little more variety..and becuz there is only 2 flavors out of 4 that my 3 yr olds like.

Salt is a necessary nutrient for all life. Of course the amount is the important thing. I wonder how the foods without added salt attain the proper sodium level? There must be something in them with sufficient sodium.
