Fascinating Cat Food Update

We've switched the cats' diet to Wellness CORE dry food, and so far the difference is amazing. Under normal circumstances I'd make the switch gradually, blending the foods and slowly eliminating the old brand, but it seemed to me that the Iams was making some of them sicker every day. (I know Iams isn't great food; it was supposed to be a stopgap measure after we quit using another brand that was otherwise wonderful because it contained tiny carrot pieces, and apparently cats cannot digest carrots, so they eliminate them, and let's just say that I like carrots and wanted to keep liking them.) Since we made the switch, I've only seen a single puke, and that was a hairball. They like the new food, too -- Shaq, our resident gourmand, was skeptical at first but seems to have come around.

This Wellness CORE is expensive stuff -- $38.99 for a 12-pound bag at my local PetSmart, so I went looking for a better deal online, but that seems to be about the going rate. I found a few sites that were slightly cheaper, but if I'm only going to save like $3, I'd rather just buy locally. We'll manage. It's well worth it for their health and our desire for a non-disgusting house.

SheilaRaeO I am going to try it! I can't figure out why both my cats seem to have periodic bouts of puking. I have tried so many remedies and my vet (a cats only vet who should know these sorts of things) had no suggestions other than "some cats just have sensitive stomachs - live with it". It would be worth a little extra expense to avoid stepping in puke on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night! ;P
