Well.....it's a dry food and it contains fish. Those two facts would prevent me from ever feeding it to my cats.
I also know they recently went "grain free" with their cat food formula and loaded up on potato instead . (it's the second ingredient)
I am not sure if potatos is the second ingredent. I know the company you suggested to me starts with a W forgetthe name, my cat loves it and they have fish ingredients, only thing my sister said is its made in Thailand so you really dont know what is going on in TL they use a lot of Cats dogs and people prisoner parts in animal food and very inhumane to animals in general that is why i was going to consider trying this

To be frank, that's a lot of crap. Or if it happens, it may be happening in some substandard stuff that is only sold in Thailand. A lot of food for human consumption (mostly fish), including consumption in the US, is also produced in Thailand, including in the same plant that Weruva makes the cat food. I'm assuming that's the brand you're talking about.
Personally I trust that plant in Thailand for food safety more than some parts of the food chain in the US. It's good to go for US and British HUMAN standards; the British standard is way higher than the US anyway.
There may be some issues with Thai fishing as far as sustainable practices. But not safety.
The hair ball formula is loaded with corn and other grains
I wouldn't feed either to my cats even if they weren't way over priced.
Yes the canned food brand, Weruva, is made in Thailand. It does not contain cats and dogs or other things and they make the food with "human grade" ingredients in human food processing plants.
There are grain free canned foods made in USA, if you prefer that. You don't have to go back to dry food just because you don't want to feed Weruva!
You know what gets me most in that ingredient list for the Flint River, more than the potato? "Natural flavor" Why the heck does it need that, and something so generic that they only call it "natural flavor"?
If you need to feed dry food for some reason, I would choose a different one. I still do feed some, because I don't think Amber would eat enough without it, because she spent 13 years eating only dry food and the cat is stubborn. The ones I'm using after a fair amount of consideration are Wysong Epigen and Nature's Logic. I mix them together.
But if your cat happily eats enough canned food, I wouldn't bother with any dry. If you want more good canned food choices there are others, and it's a good idea to use different kinds if possible and not too much fish if possible. Sometimes it can be hard to get the cat to eat different kinds, or at least that's what I personally find so far.

Weruva has quite a few flavors that do not contain any fish or grains, or even any fruits and veggies. I don't feed it exclusively, I don't recommend feeding any food exclusively.

They are pretty much all chicken though, plus the one beef one. Still, if that works, it's good stuff. Nothing to be afraid of as far as its Thailand production.
