Ya know... I'm thinking that Wysong may want to simplify their product

I don't know, I rather like that about Wysong. Their philosophy is based
on a
sort of matrix--the best diet you can provide balanced with how much
effort you
are willing to put into it. So they provide foods/supplements for several
different levels of convenience. In other words, if you prefer to feed a
typical commercial diet, they offer ways for you to improve it. According
to
them, at the top of the scale (best possible diet) would be freshly killed
prey
of the kind that dogs and cats normally eat. At the bottom of the scale
would
be a low quality generic cat food. Of course the top of the scale is not
really
practical for most people, so Wysong offers products to let you choose
where
you want to be on that scale.

If they simplified it by only offering a couple lines of pet food, then
they'd
be pretty much like every other pet food mfr, right? So I don't think
they'd
want to do that.

If you just want to feed one product in their line, choose Vitality canned
or
dry. That is their sort of all-purpose feline maintenance diet.

Oh, I have no problem with their philosphy, I think it's great. It's just
that, on their website, it's impossible to tell how each of the products is
intended to be used -- and they have so many, it makes it really difficult
to figure out which one will fit in with what kind of diet. Maybe they
could put up some kind of guide on the website? Or maybe they have one and
I just couldn't find it... L.

You're right, they don't make much attempt on the Web site to explain their
various pet food diets. Some of their printed pamphlets are much more
informative, and that's what I've read. I think I picked them up at some health
food stores that carry Wysong.
