All I know is since switching my one girl who was on Wellness canned grain free exclusively to Merrick Before Grain, the improvement in her was phenomenal. I thought she was doing so great on the Wellness and how could she do any better, but I found out.
For me, there comes a point where I can't keep driving myself crazy over the food issue. I mean, actually I do continually drive myself crazy over it, but the cats have to eat something, and there is a limit to what I can afford, and how many things I can offer them. In the past two years I have been through tons of brands, flavors and textures. Before Grain, the turkey, the beef and the chicken, are one of the few that have stuck. I wish I could get the other two to eat it more often but they refuse, except once in a very great while.
BG has some undesirables, but they all do. All the canned foods have thickeners in them, there's no getting away from it. All the companies have skeletons in their closets, I haven't the slightest doubt about that. All of them are more about the almighty dollar than our pets. All of them. If they didn't make a big profit they wouldn't be available. Since I am not willing to make home made food, cooked or raw, I thing BG is a good compromise, for the one cat who will eat it.
