I personally do no use organic food for my cats. I commonly use Dad's and Friskies. All of my cats are very healthy so I have never found the need to use organic foods. I think that organic foods are just hyped up. I have reviewed several organic cat foods and really can't see a marked difference between them and traditional cat foods. My cats are all doing great on the foods I already use so I don't want to change that. My advice is to stick with what works, if organic cat foods work well for your pet then stick with it. If your cat uses traditional foods like mine do and that works then don't bother switching them to an organic diet.
