Brinkley's staining has improved GREATLY since switching him to Chicken Soup. <div align="right">index.php?act=findpost&pid=30216
Did we ever determine if Chicken Soup is a "holistic" food?
I'd like to give it a try too!

Brinkley really likes it, and so far...I really like it too! The ingredients and descriptions really set well with me. I tried the canned, but he didn't care for it. He likes the dry kibble. I was looking on a cat forum, and some were really giving Chicken Soup a hard time b/c it was made by the Diamond company and evidently that company has been in some negative news before. But then one poster said that many companies have low end products and high end products and that this is one of their higher end lines of food. Lots of people on the cat site feed it to theirs too.
Like I said, for right now it is working great for us, and I am probably going to switch the cats to it as soon as I can get hold of some more. I have to drive almost an hour to get it.
