Is grain-free dry cat food with potato flakes good for digestion?

Question

Does this dry food good for my cat? I see they add potato flakes 19% into the composition but they claim it is grainfree and glutenfree. I have read that potato is not good for cat concerning cat's digestion. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 29 days old | 5 lbs

In order to make a dry food, the manufacturer has to put in some type of carbohydrate. That used to be grains, but now people want grain free, so they will use potato or sweet potato or pea most commonly. Cats cannot use carbohydrates well and they contribute to obesity, but carbohydrates are necessary to make a dry food. If you are concerned about carbohydrates in dry food, I would recommend a canned food diet for Burrikh. My cats eat canned food only and are doing well, but make sure you do a slow transition to any new food. I have included more information on cat diets below for you. http://catinfo.org Good luck!
