I have a young female cat that has a very sensitive stomach, so it is hard to find a consistent cat food that she will eat. She will try all the brands I have gotten, but if she throws it up she wont eat it any more. She has no trouble with wet food though, but I have 4 other cats and would like to keep the kinds of food I get to 2 kinds(dry that is), that I can keep out all day and I know that they will all be able to eat it.

It is not cheap, but you should try Science Diet Dry Cat Food for Sensitive stomach. My cat has the same issue and with this food, has no problems.

If she has a sensitive stomach it could be a food allergy. common food allergies in cats include wheat, chicken, fish and corn, beef (often referred to as "meat by-products" or "meat and bone meal" on pet food labels) and dairy products. However, an allergy may develop to any protein that kitty is constantly exposed to. It could also be IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease), which is fairly common. Youll want to talk to your vet but many people have had much success with a raw diet in pets with IBD

A grainless canned food would be best. I have a cat with similar issues, and shes doing very well now that Ive eliminated all the dry food from her diet. Or raw meat would be even better.

I feed my cat Merrick Gourmet Canned Cat Food (all varieties) as her main meal and supplement with Natures Variety Instinct Dry Cat Food. When she was a kitten I feed Wellness Kitten Health Dry Food and Wellness Canned Kitten Food (she didnt like the canned) I switched to the Merrick canned food and she loves it. Heres a list of quality cat food and the website, click on store locator to see if its available near you:Wellnesshttp://www. oldmotherhubbard. com/wellness…Merrickhttp://www. merrickpetcare. com/Natures Variety Instinct http://www. naturesvariety. com/Innovahttp://www. naturapet. com/WHAT TO AVOID* Words such as "By-products," "meat and/or bone meal," "animal digest," most other descriptions including "digest" or "meal," and added sugars. * Chemical preservatives, including BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, and propyl gallate * Corn meal as a filler and other grains* Excess of carbohydrate "fillers" (Dry food can contain as much as 50 percent grain) Cats are Obligate Carnivores, and cannot thrive on vegetarian diets, although most vegetables can be added to cats diets, either by the manufacturer or the consumer. Pet food manufacturers cannot print "complete and balanced" on their labels unless one of the following criteria is met: The food must pass feeding tests for the life stage recommended on the label The composition of the food must meet or exceed nutrient levels established by AAFCO Preservatives, at the level included in commercial pet foods, have never been scientifically demonstrated to cause any problems in pets (or people) at less than 100 times the levels found in such foods. On the other hand, the current trend for many cat food manufacturers is toward using natural preservatives, such as vitamins C and E.

I cant tell you a particular brand to buy, but you can try to get one that does not have grains, its a bit more pricy but it works!

Maybe talk to your vet. They ususally sell higher quality foods than the suopermarkets.

Dry food overall is not good for cats. Wet food can be left out all day. Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s healthContrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat. Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingredient a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things? http://www. catinfo. org/#Learn_How_To_Rea…Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u. t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptomsThe problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process them. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but inDry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and dont use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive. You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesnt have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. The optimum food to feed cats has no grains whatsoever, cats have no use for them and many have trouble processing them as well as the carbs. IBD is another disease that is rapidly becoming common amoung cats because of the inappropriate diets being fed. Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www. felinefuture. com/nutrition/bp… Please read about cat nutrition. http://www. newdestiny. us/nutritionbasics… http://www. catinfo. org/feline_obesity. ht… http://maxshouse. com/feline_nutrition. ht…
