Wellness Dry Cat Food - Formula changes
Was looking at the Wellness site and noted that they have revised all of their dry cat food formulas. They also have a grain free cat formula now.
We have applied new thinking and current research to present the best nutrition possible, specifically for cats, who have different needs than dogs. Increased Protein Recent studies show that cats thrive on increased protein levels. We have increased protein by 8-10% across all formulas. Healthy Weight and Indoor Health have maintained lower protein as higher protein would increase fat and calorie levels. Additional High Quality Fat Sources As obligate carnivores, cats need additional Arachidonic Acid (AA), an essential fatty acid for felines that they cannot produce on their own. We now combine chicken fat, which has high levels of AA, and extra virgin olive oil to deliver an optimal fatty acid profile. New Formulas & Delivery Specific Solutions Healthy Weight: Improved fiber source The magnesium level of oat fiber is lower than rice bran, thus helping us to achieve our Magnesium GA of 0.098% Max. Oat fiber is a nutrient-rich and calorie-free, which helps cats feel full longer and reduces cravings. Indoor Health: Offers increased fiber to help move hairballs through the system and lower calories to support the more sedentary lifestyle of indoor cats. Urinary Tract Health: All formulas focus on the number one reason cats go to the vet and the biggest concern cited by consumers — Urinary Tract Health. Achieve the consistent urine pH of 6.1 to 6.6, with a Standard Error of Mean (SEM) of less than 0.10. Limit the amount of magnesium in the diet to further minimize risk. Promote a healthy urinary tract environment with 3 types of cranberries.

Yeah, I remember seeing Scott's post. The only thing I don't like is the tomato pomace unless they can guarantee there would be no traces of pesticide residue left on the skins.
