Performatrin Ultra Grain Free is already on my list of reviews I plan to do. However, my current backlog of products awaiting review will probably keep me from getting to it for a while. Thanks for the reminder.

He's also got a sensitivity/allergy to chicken and/or grains, so that kibble has worked brilliantly for him, and we'll use it for a bit before probably trying something else. Now I'm trying to find him the best wet food(s) I can!  Thanks again.

I just bought the Wellness wet food last weekend because it was on sale for like 60 cents/can, I know (thanks to your site!) that Wellness is generally a good brand, and I didn't know if/how he would respond to the whole thing... so it seemed like a good test candidate. But, while it's fairly highly rated here, I know I can do better for him, so I just wanted to know the best way to go about it.  Now I know! Thanks!!  Mike, thank you so much for your reply!!

Topping adds palatability (desirability) to any meal and diversification helps minimize the risk of feeding the same product (and its inherent imperfections) over and over again. For Bailey, we vary his diet without paying much attention to macthing protein sources of his wet food with his kibble. Hope this helps. Hi Waterwings,
