Hi eman. Try Wellness hard and soft food for two weeks. You will see a huge difference in their coat!

hi eman

we feed our cat eukanieba, (can't spell)

when we got Midget, his long fur was not healthy, like our hair when we don't wash it for a week. but after only a few weeks on our food, his hair became so soft and silky and very lovely to touch!

thank you all for replying..
i wanted to know what is in cat food that makes their coat healthy? is it omega 3?
i used to feed them whiskas then i started feeding them Acana right now and their coat looked so much better in 2 days. so i checked what it says on the bag and it says omega 3 = 1%. But now i am looking for a different brand of food because i dont like some of the ingredients in this one. i looked at Innova and California Natural Chicken and Rice and the omega 3 in them is about 0.30%. so i wanted to know if my cats will no longer have this beautiful coat if i switch them to innova or california natural because of less omega 3...or this has nothing to do with it? is it just healthier food that makes their coat like that?
chessmind, what is the percentage of omega 3 and omega 6 in Wellness?

thanks
eman

Hi. It's probably easier if you just go to the Wellness site and click around there. All of the nutritional info is there.

Very Happy http://www.omhpet.com/cats/wellness_detail.asp?pCode=canCatChicken
