The Ins and Outs...

What do you feed them now?

And your vet might give you good advice, even though she likely sells a lot of medical cat food in her clinic.

Yes Candace she feeds It's A Good Life Recipe.. Yes I also agree with you on getting the Vet's advice.. Well Its A Good Life is a very good brand of kitty food.. I buy that also.. I have several diff brands that I feed due to have several diff babies.. They all like something diff..

I'll tell you what the vets tell our clients on food.

Stick with a known name brand. They don't recommend any one specific brand because what an animal will like and thrive on may vary. Our hospital only sells prescription foods so we don't make any money on recommending any particular brand over another since we don't sell regular pet food. On prescription foods we carry 3 different manufacturers (Purina, Science Diet, Royal Canin).

Here is some of the more easily obtainable brands they think highly of..

Iams (I'm not totally sold on this brand myself)
Royal Canin
Science Diet
Purina (Pro Plan or One best)
Anything by Waltham
Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover


Specific brands to avoid because of ingredients or dyes.....

Meow Mix
Alley Cat
Special Kitty
Chef's Blend
Purina Indoor Cat Formula
Any food with lots of dyes in it, they can cause allergies
Any store name brand (Wal-Mart brand, K-mart brand etc)

There are more brands both good/bad but those were the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
