My cats seem to like the Purina One and they have been healthy cats for the last 5-20 years. Once in a while i will mix in some Rachel Ray dry cat food. They get can food ocassionally for a treat.

Hi Sharin, good question. Purina is certainly a popular brand and many pet parents swear by it. If it works for your cat, great! Our rating system is based on how closely a product approximates a biologically appropriate diet for cats, taking into account additional factors like product recalls, customer satisfaction, and price. In this case, the high carbohydrate content (particularly corn, wheat, and soy ingredients) combined with the frequency of recalls significantly detracted from Purina’s overall score.

Same with all my cats. See my earlier comment.

Isn’t the Beyond the one that includes insect protein?

I do feed my cats wet but they love Royal Canin dry. RC has a moderate calorie urinary formula which the cats automatically loved but their absolute favorite is the Glycobalance which is chicken flavored and has more protein. I also give them Purina Pro Plan HydraCare. I mix it with about 5 packages of cold water and they drink it all down. Like liver flavored Kool Aid.

Agree. I have eight rescues so buy alot of cat food. I will no longer buy ANY of the Fancy Feast seafood flavors. They all have a darker grayish color (they say it’s because they removed the food coloring which can’t be because they are all much darker than before). I fear they are either manufacturing them in China so they can source and add whatever ingredients they want (which sounds like “meat by products” varies per batch.) Or are they adding insect protein?
