Best sensitive cat food?

Following on from my other thread about my poorly cat the vet says the cat needs to be fed sensitive cat food from now on. So fingers crossed if this works and becomes a permanent thing can someone recommend a budget friendlyish but still decent sensitive food?

The cat is used to dry food and the vet said it’s fine to carry on with dry food.

You could look up Webbox dried food, it is vet approved and reasonably priced too. Harringtons dried is another one - both can sometimes be found in some Morrisons stores, but I have to order both online. They aren't the high quality meat content of the likes of Thrive etc, but are higher than the cheapest brands and not everyone can afford the expensive brands regularly. I used to feed Go-Cat, but my kitty started going off it, and I can't blame him, as it started to smell different to me, and then I was quite shocked by the ingredients when I looked into it. He isn't keen on the likes of Royal Canin etc, and I have given away/wasted a lot of the more expensive food, because of him not liking it. I think Webbox and Harringtons are as good as I am going to get with him, but he generally prefers wet food, so has more of that a day than biscuits, and to increase water intake even more with wet food, I mix a small amount of water into it (I know it has a fairly high moisture content already) but kitty doesn't seem to mind and it makes mashing up the chunks a bit easier too! I guess some cats do fine on food like Go-Cat, as my first kitty had that all his life with wet food, and lived until 19! :-) I think there is too much choice for Pet Parents these days, years ago there was just basic tinned food and Brekkies! ;-)
