Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I tried a few dry food brands after the pet food recall of 2007. I tried some grain free, and noticed some problems from the cats. I tried going all wet - but apparently - my 17 yo needs some of the grains in dry food, Their main food of choice (I'm not much of one for switching - had trouble with Turkey and Salmon flavors) is Wellness Canned Cat Food for Adult Cats, Chicken Formula (Pack of 12 12.5 Ounce Cans).
I started with this Dry when it was Eagle Pack Holistic Select. The formula was EU certified (which has a higher degree of ingredient integrity than US pet foods). Since then, this company merged with the new owners of Wellness - so the 2 brands can compliment each other.
The cats ages range currently from 7 to 17. The below feeding schedule is modified slightly (sometimes only two feedings a day, maybe half the amount of dry, etc.) If your cat has a sensitive tummy, it is best to feed more frequent, smaller meals each day.

I've switched some things up since the Wellness problems (and still waiting for Wellness Chicken Recipe to Return).
I have started rotation feeding wet food, and have found that I use less dry food than before - here is my general shopping list:
Weruva Green Eggs & Chicken Cat Food, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24). Will be giving the Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken Cat Food, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) a try.
Wellness Adult Turkey Canned Cat Food (I prefer the Chicken, but until it reappears, this will do just as well).
Felidae Canned Cat Food for Adult Cats and Kittens, Chicken and Rice Formula in Chicken Broth (Pack of 12 13 Ounce Cans) (Its not grain free, but I personally don't like the mix for the regular, and neither do my cats)
Innova Cat and Kitten Formula Canned Cat Food (Also not grain free, and Multi protein source. It does contain Herring. However, cats have reacted positively to this food).
Holistic Select Feline Radiant Adult and Kitten Health Chicken Meal Recipe Dry Cat Food, 3-Pound Bag
I feed a little dry first thing in morning every day. Then 1/2 can of one flavor, remainder placed in refrig plastic lid. Then 1/2 can of another flavor, same storage. The next day, those cans are used up by adding a little hot water and nuking from 5 to 8 secs (this depends on your microwave and amount of food). The next day, we have 5.5 oz can of Weruva split between 3 cats, and 1/2 can of the last flavor. The next day we have another 5.5 oz can, and the remainder of the previous can. That is four days, fifth day we are back to the beginning.
This is why I prefer the smaller bag. Except for the removal of additional Vitamin K (google on that one), the ingredients haven't changed much since I started in 2008 (when it was EU certified). For saving Vet Bills - it pays to have kitties on a high quality diet.
PS - the bag comes with its own zip lock closure, I've never had a problem with spoilage nor a-toxins.
PPS - some have found this a good rotation ONLY, it eases the budget: Friskies Cat Food Classic Pate, Turkey & Giblets Dinner, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24).
