Limited ingredient diets come with one major benefit - pet parents are able to identify exactly what goes into their dog's body and avoid any specific ingredients. While a suitable diet for many dogs, LID diets can also be great for dogs with food sensitivities.

Vet authorized diets are typically needed only when a pet has specific health issues, but learning about how they're different from "normal" foods can help you be a more well-rounded pet parent.

Frankly, I do not care for Blue Buffalo products because they have a history of lying about their ingredients in their diets. Hills and Royal Canin are my preferred brands. There are other limited protein food brands out there, such as Natural Balance, which has formulas with a single protein source and a single carbohydrate source, making it less likely for your cat to develop an allergy.

I am sorry to hear about Kitty, that sounds so frustrating! So unfortunately the over the counter diets with limited ingredients are not as good as the prescription diets. The reason for this is that the over the counter foods are processed in the same facitilities and sometimes the same equipment as other foods, so some cross contamination does occur. In some pets the small contamination might not be a big deal, in others is can. Think of people with a severe peanut allergy that can't eat anything that says "processed in a plant that also processes peanuts". When they have done studies checking the foods, they can detect other ingredients in those foods. I would let your vet know that Kitty doesn't like the Royal Canin diet. There may be other prescription diet options available from your vet, or your vet may feel comfortable trying the Natural Balance diet in her situation.

Royal canin sensitivity control may help if hydrolyzed diet is not being tolerated; each diet should be introduced slowly and fed for 4weeks minimum to allow adaptation and improvement in clinical ssigns

This food is not necessarily considered to be a senior diet, however it is appropriate for adult cats and in this case I would not recommend switching to another diet. Senior diets tend to have fewer calories and sometimes have different nutrients and supplements than adult foods. If Trixie is overweight you can try cutting back on the amount of food offered during the day. Royal Canin select protein foods already have increased levels of fatty acids, and you could ask your vet if Trixie might benefit from a dietary supplement for joint health or a probiotic that would be okay with her IBD.

I don't think Royal Canin makes a dedicated fish diet for cats. i'm not sure why you are looking specifically for a fish based diet, if it is because you know for sure that he is doing better on such a diet i would recommend ORIJEN Six Fish Cat Food.
