I noticed that you listed Wellness. I had my cats on this food for just over a year. I thought for a while I was happy with it. However, first one then a second cat started chewing off their hair...now the vet and I have pretty much determined that it is due more to stress and seperation anxiety rather than a food allergy. But then the 2 cats I have that needed to lose weight gained on the lite formula and the 2 that didn't need to lose any weight each lost a pound! For a 10 and 9 pound cat that is significant. Then my mom's cat started having lower urinary problems. A week ago I talked to a friend who has 9 cats...all of them on Wellness. Of those nine... SIX of them have been in for lower urinary tract problems in the last few months. I find that to be a significant number. I am still not ready to condem Wellness. I like the list of ingredients. Just my cats didn't seem to do as well on it. I asked at our Wiscoy pet shop which carries the upper end pet foods and the owner there really likes the Royal Canin. Since I have put my cats on it the two that lost the weight and had chewed off their hair have gained back the weight and the hair is starting to return. Although the regaining of the hair I believe is due to the anti anxiety medication called Clomicalm. But the weight gain I am very pleased with. The two that need to lose have at the very least stopped gaining and I think the smaller of the two has lost a small amount. She just looks a bit more curvy than round. Unfortunately our Kaliban still resembles a raccoon from the back end. But we are working on getting her more exercise. Ah well I am babbling again. Just thought you might like some anecdotal information on Wellness.
