I feed Matise Science Diet Prescription Diet I/D can food.
Matise has had some gastrointestinal(sp) problems in the past(a little vomiting for no apparent reason and all xrays, blood tests gave no reason-he seamed perfectly healthy but for some reason he was vomiting) So we my vet and I thought it could possibly be a food allergy or sensitivity-possibly to animal by products so I changed his diet and now I feed him Hills Science Diet Prescription Diet I/D can (not the dry because it does have by-products in it) the vet said it is a complete nutrition diet so it is perfectly fine to feed it to him indefinetly, and it doesn't have animal by-products. He loves it, and no more vomitting. And I am happy he is getting a complete diet with no animal by-products. I know that because I give him soft food I make sure that he has non-edible toys that help clean his teeth and I will have to keep an eye on them and take him in for regular teeth cleanings.

this is the ingredients list if you are curious.
Ingredients
Water, egg product, turkey, rice, corn meal, pork liver, soy fiber, taurine, minerals (dicalcium phosphate, potassium chloride, salt, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), vitamins (choline chloride, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, niacin, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement).
