hi all - required info below:
Charlie, female, spayed, approx 7 years old, approx 10 lbs, recovering from a dental procedure / cleaning with 3 tooth extractions (was on Dec 1), on Smalls Cat food, she is behaviorally worrying me and being spicy when unprovoked, she had health issues only arise after roughly 2 years ago, was put on a corse of prednisolone for biting bald spots in her fur at the time (she still does sometimes), and had a rabies Purevax in July 23, and also then had some other meds from that same vet (I'd have to look up the names for) around that time - appetite is normal-ish, although she is not eating as much at one time as she used to, and energy is a bit lessened, mood varies between her normal sweet self and then being agitated or irritable
I'm looking at Fetching Foods, based out of Las Vegas which seems like a fantastic company - their formulas are purely meat, no added vegetables and minimal added supplements, nutrition gotten from the parts of the animal included in their formulas. What are you thoughts on this? I've currently got her on Smalls Cat food, and want to find her something higher quality. I've been trying to work out making it on my own and I'm not going to be able to grind organs and offal together, so for now I wanted to find a good alternative, ( I've asked many butchers in town but no one can accommodate).
I also recently came across Small Batch pets which has veggies added and I'm wondering what anyone's thoughts are. the Fetching foods has a free shipping offer until midnight so I'd like to take advantage of it as it seems like real high quality meat, but wondered if this is a complete food for a kitty that has bowel issues (She doesn't poop frequently enough and I'm weaning her off the 2x daily Miralax our former 'holistically minded' vet had me put her on when she got a constipation issue from meds she was on 2 years ago (Was completely fine before that). In a nutshell jus looking for some input, I feel like I'm missing something.
Also, I'll add another secondary food question just since it's on the same topic.
if I was to make her food, I found the breakdown from Force of Nature company ancestral blends where I can buy them at Whole Foods. I am not sure which completer I would need to buy to make this a complete meal for my cat. I'll copy paste the company's response when I emailed to ask about the products' composition in terms of specific organ v muscle meat. Thanks!

Thanks!- Heritage, Slow-Growth Chicken Ancestral Blend: Contains 5% organ blend made up of heart, liver, and gizzard. We don’t have the exact percentages for each individual organ. All our chickens are fed certified organic feed, even if product packaging looks different at retailers like Whole Foods—so the formulation is the same, just labeled differently.
- Grass Fed Beef Ancestral Blend: Contains 4% liver and 4% heart.
- Bison Ancestral Blend: Contains 4% liver and 3% heart (8% total organ meats).
- Venison Ancestral Blend: Contains 10% organ meats (venison liver, venison heart, and a small amount of beef).
