Jett,I am glad you got away from CatChow,your cats will thank you for it in the long run
Also as has been suggested,make the switch slowly,in stages..
As for canned,like Mona,my cats(3) get canned as their main meals but only morning and night,they split one small can about a Tbsp each and free-feed on dry food.
Unfortunately my cats will eat nothing but"Fancy Feast"which is certainly not the best,but I've tried all kinds of others,Nutro,Mother Tuckers,Wellness etc..and they won't eat it.
