This food is nothing like cat would eat in the wild. Wet food is healthier than even GOOD dry food, and this Hills food doesn't even have any meat in it (only chicken by-product MEAL) so it has to add important things like methionine and L-carnitine, amino acids that cats cannot do without that are available in MEAT. Regular canned Friskies Pate (not the kind that has chunks, shreds, bits & pieces, etc., which are wheat gluten) and Fancy Feast Pate are not fancey but plenty good enough. Better still would be to feed them canned food, again one without all sorts of fillers but basically meat as the No. If you add your city and country info to your profile, then it will show up when you post.Īlmost any good food that is high in ANIMAL protein, moderate in fat and LOW in carbohydrates is better than what you are feeding them now. How does your cat do with wet food? Often if you give wet 2 or 3 times a day (make sure you stick to calories for the weight you need your kitty to be) and put down a limited amount of dry once a day (like before you go to bed to keep them quiet) wet food often burns off/is better utilized than wet. There is also this one by Royal canin (sorry it's a UK website, for some reason I can't currently load the Australian one but we have it here: Īdvance do a light version, similar calories: Īnd if you need supermarket costs Purina One do an Indoor formula I'm pretty sure (maybe a metabolic one, I can't recall).Īnother thing to consider is that kibble is high calorie for what it is. If you like Hills they have this one: I don't know how much cheaper it is though. How low of a price bracket are you looking at? Purina one is a supermarket brand (I do hesitate to recommend those, I'm not anti Royal Canin etc but supermarket foods do seem to have more rubbish in them) and may have an indoor formula.Īlternatively you could just go an over the counter weight management food, these are sometimes less, your mileage may vary and you'll need to stick with the feeding amounts on the packet and reduce them if there is weight gain. You could either mix the Metabolic with another low calorie dry food (indoor formula's are often lower calorie because indoor cats are more sedentary). Obviously I'm not a vet so I can't guarantee these will work but you could run it past your vet or see how you go.
