What cat food / brand do you use? (lemmy.world)

We've been giving our cats a mix of dry/wet food (mostly dry...), but want to switch to 100% wet, since it is better for their kidneys.

We're also trying to avoid Purina/Fancy Feast/Friskies, since they're owned by Nestlé.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Edit: shoot, apparently Sheba and Royal Canin are owned by Mars, which isn't much better.

We use preformatrin ultra for wet food, not sure if it's sold outside of Canada. It's decent and very comparable in price to the iams perfect portions (though sold in big cans vs portioned bits). I tried the Tiki Cat brand on recommendation from our adoption person and it is quite well rated but my cats didn't really like it. Whatever brand you use, it's always good to add a bit of extra water to it to make sure kitties are getting enough hydration as that's where kidney problems really stem from. A fountain helps too!

I used to give my cat Nutro for dry food until we switched to prescription but apparently they're also owned by mars now...
