I want to feed my two kittens FELIDAE. The cat and kitten formula. But I was reading the ingredients and it seems to have alot of grains. My cats were eating the Wellness Core before I had my money troubles but now all I can afford is the FELIDAE cat and kitten food. Not the grain free FELIDAE .

Here are the ingredients:

Chicken meal, brown rice, cracked pearled barley, peas, millet, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), turkey meal, potato protein, lamb meal, egg product, natural flavor, flaxseed, ocean fish meal, potassium chloride, choline chloride, methionine, taurine, sun cured alfalfa meal, inulin (from chicory root), lecithin, sage extract, cranberries, beta carotene, rosemary extract, sunflower oil, yucca schidigera extract, dried enterococcus faecium, dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract, dried bacillus subtilis fermentation extract, saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation solubles, vitamin E supplement, niacin, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin A supplement, biotin, potassium iodide, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, vitamin D supplement, folic acid, cobalt proteinate, organic selenium, papaya, pineapple.

Is this still good food? Do you recommend it?

Thanks.

I am a new dog owner and I want to give him the best care. Currently, I am feeding him Wellness but I have been looking to change it to Blue Buffalo because I have read wonders about it. Yesterday, however, our pet-sitter recommended Pure Vita. I tried to do some research on it, but I could not find many reviews. Do any of you have any input? Have any of you used it?

Here are is more info on the food:

I saw a show that meat meal is worse then by-products and are dead pets euthanized from the vets office and road kill. Now Wellness CORE has these ingredients;

De boned Turkey, De boned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Whitefish Meal, Potatoes, Salmon Meal, Natural Chicken Flavor. Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Tomato Pomace, Cranberries, Chicory Root Extract, Salmon Oil, Flax seed, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin B-12 Supplement), Choline Chloride, Minerals (Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Kelp, Taurine, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Enterococcus Faecium, Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Rosemary Extract.

The thrid ingredient is chicken MEAL is that bad or good. It can’t be a dog or cat from the vet cause it says chicken meal but what is it?

Is Wellness CORE cat food really good food I should feed my babies or should I switch???

Wheat flour, wheat middlings, chicken, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), chicken meal, tomato pomace, salt, titanium dioxide, potassium chloride, choline chloride, taurine, biotin, zinc proteinate (a chelated source of zinc), ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, vitamin E supplement, copper proteinate (a chelated source of copper), copper sulfate, niacin supplement, manganese sulfate, manganese proteinate, (a chelated source of manganese), sodium selenite, selenium yeast, d-calcium pantothenate, vitamin A supplement, riboflavin supplement, calcium iodate, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid.
