Royal Canin and Lily's Kitchen

Hi everyone, my two young rescue cats (one girl, one boy) are currently eating Royal Canin gastrointestinal wet food, plus boiled chicken and lots of Dreamies. The Royal Canin was supplied by the shelter when we took them as they had runny tummies, which the shelter thought was due to stress. That has now cleared up and I have about 10 pouches of the Royal Canin left.

I'm wondering what to buy them next - I bought a box of Whiskas wet food before I collected them, but the shelter said they only like chicken flavour and the rest will go straight through them! They apparently don't like Felix either.

Is Whiskas a decent brand of cat food or should I stick with Royal Canin? I'm also thinking about Lily's Kitchen as it's meant to be really good quality, from what I've read - does anyone have any experiences with that? Thanks!

Remember that things like chicken breasts and dreamies aren't nutritionally complete for cats (no taurine for example) so if they are filling up on those they may not be getting a balanced diet.

If they eat a lot of raw food ( chicken and fish) you need to give them vitamins to replace the taurine.

James Wellbeloved is a great natural food similar to Lily's Kitchen, made in Somerset. Both Royal Canin and JW are owned by the same parent company, and the quality of the ingredients is excellent.

Thanks LadyGrey! I've decided to stick with the Royal Canin for now as it's what they're used to, and at least one of them seems to have a bit of a sensitive tummy at the moment. I've ordered a load of wet food pouches plus a bag of dried food from Amazon. My goodness it's expensive though! Confused

Op if you order online you can find it much cheaper,
