Eh, Louie didn't do well on Science Diet. He was scratching a lot more than he does now, he pooped a lot, and the poops he pooped were hard and bumpy.

I've noticed that most pet stores sell Nutro products. They're not too expensive, and they're of far better quality than Science Diet is. I feed Solid Gold Wee Bit (which I get for $12/4 lb bag), and Louie has done extremely well on it, minus some scratching which I'm pretty sure is due to a chicken allergy (we were giving him chicken treats, oops >_>).

Some other brands you should be able to find locally that I'd recommend are: Fromm, Wellness, Merrick, Acana, and Orijen. Ordered by least expensive (about $14/4 lbs) to most expensive (about $22/4 lbs).

For whatever reason, some people don't like Merrick, but I personally know a lot of people who feed Merrick with great results. I'd like to switch Louie to Acana, which we may do once his bag of Solid Gold runs out.
