Hi folks I have been looking at these two dry brands both in grain free and I am looking for any personal experience you might have. After looking over everything and calling both companies I have found not much difference except NB has just a little lower ash content.

The original reason for getting onto this board the adult bengal we took in had lymphoma the breeder didn't tell us about. Still I figured this might be a good place for some ideas. I have recently learned a bit about the poor diets we used to use so I wanted to take my time and make a good decision I am comfortable with for my two domestic tabbies.

So again I am down to Blue Wilderness or Natural Balance Both grain free. Thanks Michael.

My cats haven't tried New Balance, so I don't have any experience with that, but they do eat (some) blue wilderness as a regular part of their diet. To me, nutritionally they seem pretty similar. Blue wilderness is a little higher in protein and a little higher in fat. New Balance is one I probably wouldn't have any hesitation in trying though. It seems good to me. In Blue Wilderness' favor is that it has more flavors (and my cats pretty much like them all) and, at least around here, can be bought at pretty much any pet or pet food store. And I do like that it's higher in protein. You might want to just let your cat have the final say though. If he likes both, even feeding both isn't that bad. It's actually pretty nice to have cats that are used to different foods. There will be times when that comes into play.

Another thing to consider is possibly feeding some canned or raw food to supplement the dry? Those are generally seen to have some nutritional advantages over the dry foods (more moisture, less protein from plants etc).

I was under the impression I should stick with just one brand? I do also feed a wet food and I serve it with fresh raw that I cut.
Mostly Salmon and chicken to boost the protein.

Thanks you two for the responses.

Oh sorry. I thought I saw two different names.
