I know alot has been posted about reading the labels on canned cat food but for dry ... anyone with suggestions for a "good" one?

Hi There,
It all depends on what you are looking for.....premium quality or grocery brands. I also suggest reading labels on dry food. Again, you want to see a form of protein as the first ingredient and not a lot of grains. Corn is a good one to avoid if you can as cats cannot digest it and it is just added to food as a cheap filler. Watch out for "natural" formulas of well-known brands of grocery foods.....they are often the same, or very close to the regular formulas, but you pay more.
Some of the very best brands are: Wellness, Felidae, Chicken Soup, and Innova, but they may or may not be available where you live. Best bet might be a feed store if there is one near you, or a natural grocery chain. You may be able to get samples in some areas.

Thanks. I'm so much into reading labels for canned, when I buy a bag of dry I tend to put it in my container and toss the bag. I forget all about reading it. LOL I will remember protein as the first and no corn! Our feed store does have the chicken soup dry and canned. There was an organic can I got there once (Evangers I think) and it was strictly meat. I got chicken soup as there were vegetables in it also but I noticed Max seemed to eat more of his dry after he finished the CS can serving than the Evangers.
