    I feed my two cats Blue Wilderness dry food. I add about 1/2 cup of warm water to it to make sure they get enough water in their diet, they absolutley love it. The only negative is that it is not totally grain free, although the grain sources are high quality.It does contain oatmeal & barley. I feel cats would better benefit from a completly grain free diet. I rotate between Blue Wilderness & Wellness Core (100% grain free)so they get more variety. Both of these foods are excellent, although pricey. My cats are worth it!!!!
