Orijen may not contain grains, but it does contain other vegetable carbohydrate sources so it's only marginally better than the likes of Hills and RC.
I agree - I wasn't commenting just quoting what it says on the website. Marginally is still better though.

Re: Do you need kitten food........

hi, totally agree, the rubbish that is in cat food is ridiculous, especially cat kibble/biscuits (have you noticed when the bag of biscuits has been open a while why the smell gets stronger, (the oil/fat is starting to break down, so if you have to use it smaller bags will be used up quicker).They cause lot of cats kidney problems & tooth decay. I think folk have forgotten how canned dog/cat food came about, it was a way of using up the left overs, companies decided it would be a money making idea to can waste food & sell it as cat/dog food. Pet's were fed raw/cooked scraps before, & cats caught mice, they label the product as the best or premium etc,& we fall for it ,cos we love our fur balls, they put pictures on the wrappers of food we like to eat not what animals eat, they have us exactly where they want us, especially with convenience, & our ignorance. Vet's push products as they get hand outs from the rep's, did you know lot's of vet's are not up on nutrition.
I purchase a mix from a company called Feline Future,(Canada) & feed raw now, they ship from Germany also which is cheaper, it may be a little more expensive & time consuming, food is frozen when prepared & I make a couple of months supply. Read the ingredients on canned/bags of cat food, look for animal derivitives & the sort, how much goodness is cooked out, what preservatives are they using. Just get on the internet & type in what is really in our fur friends food, you will be amazed.
gosh did not mean to go on, but I get so angry that these companies could work on using more (real) healthy ingredients for our fur buddies.
