Dry Cat Food Turns to Dust?

Question

I'm looking for a Grain-Free Cat Food that doesn't turn to dust.

I was originally feeding Wellness Kitten Health Dry Food (very satisfied / no dust) and when she was 1 year I wanted to switch her to a grain-free dry cat food. I switched her to Nature's Variety Instinct Dry Cat Food and I found it to be a very dusty food. I don't like the fact that the food you buy turns to dust. So I switched her food again to Wellness CORE Grain-Free Feline Diet and this turns out to be a dusty food also. So doing some more research I looked at Innova EVO Dry Cat Food and read some reviews saying that this was also a dusty food. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A DUSTLESS GRAIN-FREE DRY CAT FOOD?

Her main meals are canned cat food and she eats dry cat food as a snack through out the day.

All hail Chocolate
It never once crossed my mind that since the food that I was buying is grain-free it would be hard to hold together, hence the dust in the bottom of the bag.
:-)

Grain-free dry diets still contain carbohydrates, from sources such as potato or tapioca as the starch in those ingredients is needed to allow the kibble to hold its shape.

Answer 1

Innova EVO dry is actually kind of moistish. Transfer it to a Ziplock bag to keep it fresh, since it has no preservatives.
Since grain free foods are hard to hold together due to there being no grain, all of them will be dusty to some degree. Grain is mainly used to hold kibble together

Answer 2

I use Evo as a treat. It's true that there's some dusty or grainy residue at the bottom of the bag (which is a plus for me but that's another story), but I don't see it disintegrating or anything like that.

I didn't pay attention at the time, but I'd say I see about the same amount of "dust" in the Evo as I did with the Purina I used to buy.

Answer 3

I only feed mine Innova Evo , with wet Wellness canned food. I transfer mine from the bag in a seal tight tupperware container . It is actually a little moist . Only at the end of the container will there be a little dust , but that is normal. Try it and you will see the difference. Innova Evo is top premium food.

Sounds like you're buying too large a bag of dry food, and it's getting OLD, before it gets eaten. If you're only giving your cat dry food as a snack/treat, you need to get the smallest bag possible and keep it in a tightly closed container, so dampness doesn't get in and cause the decaying of the food! My cats eat only Purina Tuna/Salmon DRY food, and it NEVER goes to dust, cause it gets eaten too quickly. Hope this helps.............Good luck.........

Answer 5

I think the secret is to buy enough to eat one day, and then do the same each day. That way (which might be a lot of work) the food is eaten fresh each day without dust.

Answer 6

Tesco/ Asda / Lidl ownbrand or Go-Cat (Purina) cat biscuits.
