My only concern is Fish? What kind of fish? Ocean Fish not Ocean White Fish. Purina probably sources all over so the type may change over time. Which is why it’s vague and not the first ingredient. I wouldn’t worry that much.

The best low carb food I can find costs money. There is no budget cat food now. Poor babies. It’s Dr. Elsey’s dry cat food. I think Instinct limited ingredients is pretty good and cheaper but still costs money. You will save a ton of money on vet bills if you get better food. I have learned that over the past 50 years as an adult through experience. Since I upgraded their food I have not had a vet bill in 10 years…knock on wood….praying that holds. Other cats have died at 2 years, 6 years, 8 years and so forth. Canned food is way better for cats due to moisture content and good to feed at least one cat per day maybe at night since that is their natural hunting time and then leave out high quality dry food for them to eat whenever they want to eat. Best wishes for healthy cats with long happy lives. I feed Fancy Feast canned food the pate is better and appropriate for cats with diabetes. I found if you don’t feed cats dry food with corn they will not get diabetes even if obese. Corn is in so many cat foods and especially prescription which I do not understand since it is expensive.

They must have changed it back because mine wouldn’t eat the new formula either, back in March, but they do now. In fact I had 2 cats who vomited after eating the new formula, which, looked like the turkey variety in color and texture. I stopped buying the stuff for about 3 months after that.

Thanks for your answer!

Good question. Many ingredients can appear in a cat food without showing up in its name, and “fish” is a very common one. This is a generic term that is used to describe a wide variety of fish species. Because we don’t know much about the type or quality of fish included, this vaguely-labeled ingredient is really not an ideal inclusion in cat food.
