This is the only cat food my cats eat. Well, they really like Fancy Feast, but that is a crappy brand full of cheap grain fillers. Its the equivalent of letting kids eat McDonalds for every meal. Also? Omen has food allergies to the grain fillers. She breaks out in itchy rashes, requires a trip to the vet, anti-biotics and steriods, and the whole thing is just inconvenient. So we go with the Blue Spa select. Its a holistic food that uses high quality human grade proteins and small amounts of whole grains that don't generally cause food allergies in cats like rice and barley. If you see corn, wheat, or wheat gluten on the can you should throw it away. These not only commonly cause allergies, but long term consumption can lead to feline diabetes. There is basically no cat food available at the grocery store that will provide the nutrition that a cat really needs. Its all junk food. And cats are addicted to it. My cats went for the Fancy Feast like it was crack cocaine....and that is no lie.
But anyway, we weaned the cats off of the Fancy feast, and finally got them acclimated to eating the healthier stuff (meaning more expensive of course). And our stupid Petsmart is constantly running out of the only flavor they really like, the turkey one. We feed them a mixture of both dry and canned. Our vet suggested that because dry helps with dental cleaning, while canned food gives them more water in their diet to help ward off future kidney problems. Apparently cats don't naturally drink a lot of water and need to get part of it through their food. Cats on completely dry food diets sometimes develop kidney problems because they don't get enough water. So....we do both. We use a Blue Spa dry food that has vitamin bits mixed in. And honestly? Besides not having any more skin outbreaks with Omen, we can tell a huge difference in how soft and shiny their fur is. Diet makes a big difference. Huge!
But we ran by tonight to stock up and once again there was NO turkey blue spa on the shelves. I got one of the guys to run and check back in the stockroom, but there was none there either. I will have to make yet another trip on Monday after the trucks make deliveries to try and get my hands on some. There are several other flavors like Tuna and Salmon. But the cats eat a few bites of those and then waste the rest.
It has to be turkey.....luckily I have a few more cans that will hopefully last until a new truck comes in. This gets so frustrating. Apparently all the cats in town prefer the Turkey flavor. There was plenty of the tuna and salmon, like usual.....I wonder if I can convince the store manager to stock more turkey and less of the other flavors. It would make my life easier because this running back several times just trying to catch the turkey flavor in stock is getting really old. Love them like family....feed them like family. Thats the Blue Spa slogan....LOL. And while I am not writing an advertisement for the company, it really is one of the most nutritious brands out there.

go on the net and try to order some, just a suggestion! barb
I have looked at it online, but the shipping cost are ridiculous.
I use to have this problem until I talked to the Store Manager about it. He said that if you give them a heads up, just over a week or so, that he could request that they send extra cans on the truck. I now call the store a head of time and they order me an extra case.(they are shipped in the cases 12or 24 cans) I do this about once a month now and it works great!
They don't mind the guaranteed sale either :)
