And I've never been a fan of Hills Science Diet. But I have to think of what may be best for my cats at this point. It has the most fiber and still a decent amount of fat & protein.
I figure since I am switching them over gradually they'll still be getting some good food, Innova for a while. And hopefully they won't need to be on it that long either.

If for some reason they will need to be on it long term I'll find another brand even if the amount of fiber, fat & protein levels are slightly less. Or maybe add some Innova (or other decent food) and serve it mixed half & half.

May I ask you what is your concern about Hills Science Diet w/d and what your concern about cornmeal in the diet?

I ask because my Cleo had Hills feline w/d for quite some time due to loose stools and did very well on it. Colette has fared very well on Hills Hairball formula too just recently. In fact when I ran out of it she chucked up again

Thanks for your input, we all want to do what is best for our furkids.

Now Cleo is on Walthams renal due to age and early renal failure.

Colette has some of that (or she'll steal Cleo's) and Hills furball.

I'd be interested to know what your concern is with the w/d and cornmeal, thanks.
