Cat Fanciers - Please read about cat nutrition - it is no longer about the kibble! A dear friend wrote to me this morning, asking about cat food recommendations... I figured I would share this information (one humble vet's opinion) with you:

Canned food is good, but raw is ideal. And kibble is so last decade!

My favorites right now (ranking in descending order of preference): (I have no financial interest in any of the following brands -- I am only speaking from my own experience and those of my clients.)
1. Stella and Chewy’s - turkey, fish, or duck - (raw, freeze dried) - Pet food express, Amazon prime
2. Sojo’s, Honest Kitchen, Primal (these three brands are only ranked #2 after Stella and Chewy’s because of taste preference and palatability as indicated in at-home testing :)
3. Canned foods - Tiki Cat, Weruva, Nature’s Variety (Instinct)
4. Less expensive, but also good, canned: Natural Balance, Wellness.

In general with canned cat food, choosing the fish flavors (tuna, salmon) are best, if your cats will eat them - here’s why: fish is the leanest protein source available. Ideally, we want to feed >50% of calories from lean protein source,
