Frequent question - what dry cat food to choose?

**adelheid** · 2nd August 2011, 08:56 PM

I am trying hard to find the ideal dry cat food for my coonies. I tried RC, but I´ve lost my trust in this brand. They are salty and suspiciously tasty and they contains too much grain. I tried Acana, my cats didn´t like it at all. Is anybody familiar with Golden Eagle or Power of Nature food?
Thank you. Adelheid

Must admit I do use RC Maine Coon myself, Hank loves it and I like to see him having a good 'crunch' on the large size kibbles..

Applaws (kitten) went down like a storm when I bought a small pack to try. Once I get rid of the Orijen - which the cats will eat, but not gulp down like kids with ice cream - I will get back to Applaws, but the adult one...

We use a mix of Orijen (the meat one) and Taste of the Wild for our 3. They seem to like Taste of the Wild better as it's a bit more crunchy than Orijen. RC didn't suit Shadow as she seems to have a bit of a sensitive tummy - she seems fine on this combination. I wanted to get them on to a grain-free one, which both of these are. They're also partial to a bit of Muller rice pudding....

....only as a very rare treat of course!

My boys do like their Acana, the fishy one (Pacifica?). We don't feed them dry very often, it's only if my OH can't come home during lunch to feed them really. They do go absolutely wild for the Hills VetEssentials kitten, as we got a small bag as a freebee from our vets. But that's given to them more as a treat than a daily food

I use Sanabelle Grande its large kibble so great for the coonies but my Devon rex also eats it no problem, available from zooplus also tried the Happy Cat dental which is large kibble also.
Tried RC once OMG pooey pants.

I have tried Porta 21 dry and wet food both are excellent especially the wet food, I only changed to get a bigger biscuit.
Mine used to gobble it down too fast then "Up Chuck".

Mine do not get too much dry food but is great to see some new names here will have to give some a try,especially the Sanabelle Grande for the bigger kibble,I have always used the Hills oral but this time round decided to try the RC to give them a new taste,know which one to try next.
One of mine pigs his dry allowance so I make him work for it either by scattering it far & wide or putting it in the play ball,no pigging in no puke throwback.....!

Orijen is my favorite... Instinct is another one I really like. Right now I am trying out the new Instinct limited ingredient turkey formula because one of my cats has really bad food allergies. If it wasn't for the allergies I'd be using Orijen. I also use the Instinct canned rabbit food as it's one of the few he can eat.
