However, Wellness canned has NO grains, therefore there is no filler.
Looking at a can of Wellness I pulled from the cupboard, the first several
ingredients a Turkey, Chicken Liver, Chicken, Turkey Broth, Sweet
Potatoes, Carrots...
This leads me to believe Wellness is primarily meat.


Once you take out the water weight and compare the ingredients on a dry matter
basis, then how would the ingredient list read?

From: "KellyH"

Well OK you didn't give me any specific brands or names, but lets
examine the idea that a food with meat first actually contains more
meat than anything else. There are two marketing tricks involved here.


I didn't respond because like I said, I don't want to do this by-products
are just as good blah blah stuff. Sorry, I don't think feeding my cat crap
that's swept off the floor is "just as good" as human grade meat.


Kelly, here's where you get sidetracked by pet food manufacturers' marketing
designed to appeal to people like yourself: There is no such thing as "human
grade meat" in pet foods. That's is a marketing "buzzword" designed to emote
with the consumer. Second, you are automatically ASSuming that "by-product" is
ALL BAD. That isn't true either.

I'll pick. Yes I have an inner granola and I use those standards for my own
food, cage-free, free range, no bovine growth hormones, etc. Sure the other
regular food might be "fine", but again, I have a choice and a conscience.
If someone came out with organic free-range cat food, I'd be first in line
to get it, provided it was nutritionally sound.


Fair enough. But since you have (what seems to me) an inherent distrust of
ingredient labels, why would you automatically trust an ingredient label that
would state what you are looking for above?

BTW, I've never understood the thinking that "cage-free" and "free range"
animals are more desirable to EAT than others. Seriously, aren't you still
ultimately responsible for the "death" of those "well-treated" animals. No?
