We have been feeding our cats Meow Mix for quite some time (several years) and recently heard that this may not be the best choice.

Any suggestions for other food options would be greatly appreciated as we don't know whether or not to trust advice we get at the vet or pet shop.

Thank you!
Chris, Mary, Lucky, Foster and Yoda!

PS-2/3 cats are quite plump (boy 17lbs., girl 13lbs)

My cats do really well on Innova.
Some other good or decent choices (IMO)are:
I have included their websites in case you want to see if any of them are available in your area...most of the sites have store locators on them.

Wellness - www.oldmotherhubbard.com
Royal Canin - www.royalcanin.us
California Natural or Healthwise (made by the same company as Innova) - www.naturapet.com
Nutro Natural Choice - www.nutroproducts.com
Pinnacle - www.avoderm.com
Eagle Pack - www.eaglepack.com
Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul - www.chickensoupforthepetloverssoul.com

P.S. Vets and Pet Shop owners/worker's opinions on the "best" foods seem to vary just as widely as pet owners opinions do. My vet thinks Innova is an excellent food...while other vets tend to think highly of Science Diet or Iams. Just depends on who you ask I guess.
Good luck on finding a new food.

I feed my cats regular old Purina. They have always been extremely healthy and lived long lives. I asked my vet recently b/c I have heard so much talk about natural and specialty cat foods. She said she feeds her animals Purina. If its good enough for my vet, it's good enough for me.

I feed my cat IAMS and was told by the Humane Society and local vet that it's good and that cats poop less when eating it because it's rich with nutrients. Or somethin like that

thanks everyone!

This has been an on-going concern for us. Like all of you, our cats are like our children (we have no "real" children...yet). They have no control over that but we do. We just want the best of the best.

thanks again!!!

Us and the cats

I gave mine Iams canned kitten food, but they would never eat dry Iams, regular or kitten formula. Wal-Mart has a good brand called May Nutrition, but my cats like Purina better. I think every pet is different and different foods work for different ones. As people we don't like certain foods, I think its the same with animals.
