I never recommend Blue Buffalo. It's a terrible quality of food, they have no quality control (they don't own their own factories), and there have been recalls on the food. I don't recommend Rachel Ray either. She's a TV chef with no experience in animal nutrition. As for the others, they are grain free. Grain free is a fad, and I never recommend feeding it. The foods I recommended to you in your other post are high quality. I hope this helps.

In general, you should avoid any grain free diets. Pets generally don't have allergies to grains and I recommend to feed a high quality diet such as Purina ProPlan, Science Diet or Royal Canin. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Purina makes several options of grain-free diets for cats, and this is a reputable brand. That being said, most veterinarians do not recommend feeding grain-free diets to cats or dogs. Grains provide vital nutrients to cats (and dogs) and do not cause any harm. Most food allergies in cats and dogs are to specific types of proteins, not grains. Some grain-free diets are lower in carbohydrates, which means that they can be quite high in both fat and calories. Other grain-free diets merely substitute similar amounts of highly refined starches such as those from potatoes or tapioca (cassava) in place of grains. These ingredients may provide fewer nutrients and less fiber than whole grains, while costing more. Please see the attached link to learn more about the truth about grain-free diets, and share with your friends! http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2016/06/grain-free-diets-big-on-marketing-small-on-truth/. I hope this is helpful!

Frankly, I do not care for Blue Buffalo products because they have a history of lying about their ingredients in their diets. Hills and Royal Canin are my preferred brands. There are other limited protein food brands out there, such as Natural Balance, which has formulas with a single protein source and a single carbohydrate source, making it less likely for your cat to develop an allergy.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It could be safe. However, keep in mind that new studies have shown that grain free diets could have negative effects on the heart in dogs. While this has not been proven in cats, it could be the case also in cats. Best of luck!
