Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old | 9 lbs
Which food is better for my cat? He seems to be having some digestive problems where he either eats too fast and vomits or the food doesn’t sit well with him. I want to feed him the best I can afford. Is it true that it’s bad to feed cats rice and salmon? Please help!! He’s trying the nutro now and seems to like and do well on it but I’m afraid it isn’t good for him based on things I’ve been reading.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The most common reason for chronic vomiting in cats is a food allergy. I am personally not a fan of grain free diets unless the pet has a proven grain allergy due to the issues with dogs right now and grain free diets (heart disease). This issues hasn't been reported in the cat grain free diets. I have no problem with the Nutro you pictured above IF it solves Greyson's chronic vomiting problem Give him 2-3 months on the diet and if it significantly reduces the vomiting I am fine with it. Good luck
