So we've been feeding our two cats (SV F5 & old lady rescue kitty who lives outside) Authority grain-free dry food for two years. We haven't had any probs and they both drink lots of water but I want to make the switch to mostly canned food with some dry to supplement.
I have read basically every past thread on this forum and looked elsewhere and it's pretty confusing. I grabbed four different brands and flavors (no fish) from Petsmart:
Evo
Blue Buffalo Wilderness or whatever that's called
Wellness
Nuvo "medal series"
All are grain free, I read the labels and all have actual meat as their main ingredient. Both cats took to all of these like it was crack =) so I won't have any issues with transitioning. Any thoughts on any of the brands? Zyon my SV went super nuts for the Nuvo Beef/Lamb today. Being a house with 75% vegetarians, this is pretty nasty (especially when the cans spray liquid meaty stuff on me during opening it...) but I'm over it for the cats' sake.
Also wondering - the variety packs you can get online all have fish cans in the packs. I've read that you should limit the fish products - how much is "too much" or too often for the fish cans then? If I could get a pack without fish I would, but so far looking they all have a few cans of fishy stuff.
Where does everyone buy their canned variety packs - online? Is it ok to switch it up regularly with different brands of food? I'd prefer that because then if a flavor or brand went of out business it wouldn't mess the kitties up. Plus I liked that they all have slightly different textures and chunkiness v. smoothness, keeps it interesting for the cats I would imagine.
Thanks!
