Hopefully I won't be blacklisted for asking about cat food here. Both my boys have crappy immune systems as well as loose stool on every kibble I've tried (Nutro Ultra, Nutro Natural Choice, CA Natural, Solid Gold, you name it). Raley's just recently added a refrigerated dog/cat food cooler with a brand called Country Pet. Here's the page http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.ACC ... egory=-109. Ingredients: Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Water (sufficient for processing), Whole Eggs, a pinch or two of Vitamins and Minerals consisting of: Salt (Sodium Chloride), Choline Chloride Supplement, Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Sulphate, Ferrous Sulphate, Vitamin E Supplement, Copper Sulphate Supplement, Manganese Sulphate, Nicotinic Acid, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Acetate Supplement, Vitamin B2, Calcium Iodate, Selenium Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin B6 Hydrochloride, Vitamin B1 Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid.

So I bought some tubes(?), hoping it will turn out to be economical. The cats love it, and I'm waiting to see the results on their stool. But in the meantime, I was looking for a kibble to mix it with and found By Nature at PetsMart: http://www.bynaturepetfoods.com/product ... niccat.php
Ingredients: Organic Chicken, Chicken Meal, Organic Ground Barley, Organic Ground Oats, Organic Brown Rice, Fish Meal, Organic Chicken Hydrolysate, Organic Peas, Organic Flaxseed Meal, Natural Flavors, Chicken Fat (Stabilized with Mixed Tocopherols), Salt, Potassium Chloride, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, Choline Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Zinc Proteinate, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Organic Dried Tomatoes, Organic Cranberries, Organic Carrots, Organic Kelp, Organic Spinach, Dried Chicory Root, Turmeric, Niacin Supplement, Ferrous Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Copper Sulfate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Calcium Iodate, Folic Acid, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, Rosemary Extract, Dried Yeast Fermentation Solubles.

Almost $20 for an 8lb bag :shock: but could be worth it if I cut it with something cheaper & if they respond well to it. Should I still give them raw liver & yogurt with these 2 foods or wait & see how they do on just the food alone?

My cats both had bladder blockage issues and I switched them to a completly raw diet. Best thing I could have done. They both havnt had any issues due to food in over a year. They love the food too. That would be my ultimate suggestion. If you could as far as kibble goes get your hands on some Evo cat food or try California natural cat food that might help with the yucky poops.

The tubes look good, I don't like the dry ingredients though, way to many fillers up at the top.
