In regards to Melanie, the reaction you are seeing (oily fur, flaky skin) is most likely due to a detoxing effect. Iams is filled with unhealthy ingredients. When you change to a better food things can look worse before they get better! I’ve seen it first hand many times. I worked in a grooming shop for five years.

My cat too, showed an allergic reaction to the food. My cat developed an oily coating on his back fur which he proceeded to pull out. Although the fur was oily, his skin was flaky. Switched to a food I knew did not bother him (Iams) and the problem stopped. Two weeks ago started Wilderness again, and the oiliness has returned.

Hey, what are in the Lifesource Bits, anyway?

I don’t have conclusive proof, but I think that both my cats were allergic to this food. One cat lost a lot of fur on the back of his hind leg, the other scratched his ear until it would bleed, repeatedly. They were on it for one big bag and they’ve never had a reaction to Solid Gold, California Natural, Vet’s Extension or (their mainstay) Artemis.

It didn’t happen with the first feeding, but by the time the bag had finished I started to make the link.

Our three cats (including 1 Maine Coon) LOVE the Duck and are shinier and eat less volume than on regular foods. They are not as crazy about the chicken, although in their case, this may be a good thing. We do regulate their diets, but have been able to cut down amount since they got used to this.

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!!!!
