Hi. I’ve been feeding my 2 cats Special Kitty food for most of their 4-year life, and have recently been looking into switching brands. I’d like to switch to something somewhat healthier but since I’m still definitely on a budget, am not looking at the high-end expensive ones. I found an indoor formula dry catfood from Goodlife at the store which somewhat impressed me with its ingredients for the price (eleven dollars & 90-something cents for a 7-lb bag.)
Ingredients:
Chicken, chicken meal, brown rice, brewers rice, chicken byproduct meal, dried plain beet pulp, powdered cellulose, natural flavor, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), brewers dried yeast, potassium chloride, dried peas, salt, taurine, caramel color, DL-methionne, dried tomato, dried blueberry, dried sweet potato, dried apple, dried cranberry, dried spinach, choline chloride, dried carrots, mixed tocopherols, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, Niacin, Vitamin A supplement, Vitamin B12 supplement, thiamine mononitrate [vitaminB1], riboflavin supplement [vitamin B2], d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride [vitamin B6], vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin), minerals (zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate, potassium iodide), yucca schidigera extract, sodium copper chlorophyllin.

What do you think? I gather it’s still not totally GREAT but am hoping it would be a decent improvement for my cats. Since it says “new” on this food in the store, I’m keeping an eye on it for a little bit to make sure the price doesn’t skyrocket. I’d hate to start my cats on it and then have to switch them again right away.

And as I mentioned, I’m thinking I’ll be switching my cats to a partial wet-food diet as well. I would probably use Special Kitty wet food as wet food seems to be so very expensive- unless there’s an alternative brand you’d recommend which is better but for a pretty similar price. I’ve heard it’s important for cats to get some wet food in their diet, even if it’s cheap wet food, for the moisture.

Thank you very much for your time.
