I've been feeding my 2 indoor cats Purina Indoor Advantage dry food which is one of Purina's better dry cat foods, plus giving them Friskies and Fancy Feast canned food often, then I started feeling bad about the Friskies canned food and concerned about carageenan, which is often added to canned cat food pate to help add texture. They say it can lead to health problems and possibly GI tract lesions and cancer. So I went to PetsMart and bought some more expensive canned foods, and already they seem to be getting bored with it and they seem to want their kibble and lower tier canned foods back. And the funny thing is that many vets highly approve of anything made by Purina.
I talked to someone who had two cats that died last year, one was 19 and one was 20, and she said she fed them Friskies and Fancy Feast.
The world seems to be full of people who had cats live to be 15-20 years or more on lower tier brands of food such as Friskies, Purina, Meow Mix, Fancy Feast, etc. And Friskies canned foods in sauce or gravy have no carageenan in it, so I can avoid carageenan without resorting to more costly foods they don't like as much.
I actually think Purina anything is a good brand to stick with because they say Purina spends the most on R&D and testing and have the lowest recall rates.
I just want to feed them a food they will gladly eat over a food that costs 2-3x more that they have little to no interest in.
And brands like Blue Buffalo claim to have no soy, corn, or wheat in their foods but I've heard it said that most cats do OK with these ingredients, and have heard vets tell me that grain free foods are not a good idea for most cats.
