Cat Foods - WHAT is good??

[pet detective]

I feed 7 month old Milo Iams kitten dry food, and the vet said that was a good choice. Haven't had any problems or allergies yet.

All of my critters eat Chicken Soup

My three are eating Summit Indoor Cat.

Has all this information helped or confused you, Kay? LOL!! It is a very deep subject and I've gone around and around on it. I truly believe that every cat and dog is different and what works for one might not work for another.

I did a little research, hoping to find something for Butter that might help him with his constant skin problems. Today, I had my feed store guy order California Natural Chicken and Rice food for Butter. We'll have it next week. We've tried the Science Diet food (can't remember the name), hoping that would help him, but he wouldn't eat it. We've used the Pro Plan Turkey and Barley food, which he is "so so" about, but didn't love it. I'm going to try the California Natural food because it really is natural. My Golden Retrievers are doing great on the California Natural Reduced Calorie Lamb and Rice product, so after doing a little investigating, I figured I might as well try it for Butter, too.

By the way, California Natural food is made by the same company that makes Innova. I really have never compared ingredients, but for some reason, I think the CN is a bit less expensive. Wonder why? They are all discussed at www.naturapet.com

PS. I should add that Butter's favorite food is one of the cheapest, the Meow Mix Seafood Medley. He loves it!

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but thought it an ideal thread for me to keep asking about the science diet, Lexie was put on Science diet prescription s/d to dissolve her crystals and yes you guessed it she does not like it even mixed in with her old ones, rang vet today and she said they quite often don't like it, silly making something cats don't like and suggested because she had very few crystals she go straight onto the maintenance one C/D and she should be fine and like it, so does anyone else have experience with either of these foods, or my problem or rather lexie's wee problem ,excuse the pun, i am keen to try the Royal Canin, can anyone tell me if it is much more palatable and their cats love it, much appreciated, thanks.

no experience with the Royal Canin, but I have 16 current cats (and 6 RB cats) who eat/ate it. No one refused it

I have heard and experienced time and time again cats disliking science diet but I have yet to ever hear of a cat that turned their nose up at royal canin. I know here you can get small bags of roayl canin even the prescription food of 400g. I would suggest getting a small bag and giving it ago. I would pretty much stake anything that Lexie will love it.
