After much fiddling with different dry cat food brands, including some über expense brands, I have decided to go with ProPlan. Some snobs may tell you that it’s not as good as raw or specialty brands but they’re a pain to find and cost 4x as much. Cats are primarily carnivores and require lots of protein for good health. In fact some experts say cats can’t process fillers (carbs) hardly at all. So at the end of the day I made by decision based on the ingredients. ProPlan has far and away the most protein (40%) per serving than the other dry foods at PetSmart. No marketing or fancy packaging needed to make this call.

Littermaid has never really had what I would call and enviable track record when it comes to customer satisfaction. It pretty much be summed up as the lesser of all evils. Six months ago I thought this was about to change with the release of this newly engineered model. Fast-forward to today when my wife explains, “this thing is more pathetic than the last one.” It seems others think the same way.
