Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Raw diets are not safe for pets as they can contain bacteria, like salmonella, which can cause serious health problems. Your cat is not a wild cat and does not need protein only diets. They also need grains and carbohydrates in their diet to be balanced and complete. Most veterinarians recommend the top 4 brands of pet food- Hill's/Science Diet, Purina, Iams, and Royal Canin. We also recommend any diet you chose to have a statement on the bag regarding its use in AAFCO feeding trials and not just formulated according to AAFCO requirements. This means it is used for complete and balanced nutrition for a specific life stage (vs. “intermittent and supplemental feeding” which should be fed only as treat items). This means that the diet has actually been fed to a group of animals and they thrived, instead of someone simply calculating a “good diet” in a computer program. I hope this helps! Kisses to Sweetie!

Brands I personally recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I recommend these brands because they are high quality cat foods, and they have veterinary nutritionists on staff. Having veterinary nutritionist on staff at a pet food company ensures there are experts there who know what a cat needs to be healthy and meet their nutritional needs, and formulates a food to match that. Because of that, in my opinion, I would pick one of those brands. I hope this helps!

Great question! I really like Iams, I feed it to my own cats. Be sure to get a kitten formulated food. Other brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Purina ProPlan. I hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for posting! Other brans you might want to consider are Wellness, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Evo, or Solid Gold. All of these come in both wet and dry formulas. Be sure to continue feeding her the kitten formulas until she is about 9 months old, then you can transition her to an adult formula. I hope this helps!
