What food is good for cats who are five years old ?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! There are several diets available in the market as you have probably noticed. I personally prefer Purina, Royal canin and Science Diet foods as they are of high quality and have research to back up their use. Any of their variations should be good for Maddi. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, i have a british longhair cat that I just recently got last month, he suffered on a diarrhea probably by the changing of food, which is whiskas dry food at the morning and whiskas wet food at the evening,and he is not consuming too much water. Ca
Whiskas is considered a lower-quality brand, but is still nutritionally complete to give. If you're looking for a higher-end food, looking to brands that are readily available at pet stores such as Science Diet or Royal Canin are good choices. These brands offer many different varieties so you can better tailor the food to Lucy's individual needs, and some even have foods specific to certain breeds/sizes of cat. Both also carry a variety of wet and dry foods if you want to feed both, however that isn't always necessary. Feeding twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) as you are currently doing should be fine. If she seems extra hungry or is losing weight, smaller more frequent meals may also help. Your vet can also help you monitor Lucy's weight over time with the new food if you're curious to see how her weight or body condition changes.

I've been feeding my cats Candidae food, dry hairball control kibble and wet food 2x/day. They like the dry, but LOVE the wet. However t's quite expensive and that brand only carries 3 oz cans of wet food which makes calculating feeding amounts diffi
Hello and thank you for your question. In general, canned food is more biologically appropriate for cats. The joke is that the perfect food for a cat is a mouse. Cats generally do not drink enough water to stay well hydrated, so we hope feeding at least half canned food will be a good option to help prevent kidney problems later in life. Canidae is a great food. Some of their flavors are available in larger cans, so you might look online to buy them. I currently feed my cats Wellness canned food which is also available in larger (12.5 ounce) cans. Unfortunately high quality canned diets are expensive, but you are what you eat, so it's worth it in the long run. Selene looks a little heavy at 15 pounds, but Sam and Kylo look great. In general, the average cat needs about 5.5 ounces of canned food per day if they are not eating any dry food. I hope that answers all your questions. I am happy to do a consultation with you about cat diets if you have any other questions. I am

My 3 year old male cat 12-13 lbs and healthy. I feed him wet canned food, approx. 1.5 oz 3 times a day. I also leave dry food out for him. He devours the cat food fresh from the can in the morning, but tends toward the dry food as the day goes on.
As a general rule of thumb, I tend to recommend Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan and Royal Canin diets. These companies thoroughly analyze the nutrient profiles of their foods, perform controlled clinical studies and source their ingredients well. As for Gracie's canned foods, consider microwaving the refrigerated portions for a few seconds to see if this may tempt him to eat any "leftovers".

Since Cash is a small dog, you might consider one of the more expensive options such as a dehydrated or fresh food diet. They are able to control their ingredients much more easily than a large manufacturing plant does that makes dry food. I have been very pleased with The Honest Kitchen ( https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/ ) and Just Food For Dogs ( https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/ ). Both have foods that will not have chicken and both have options without any poultry. You do not have to worry about the potential addition of chicken fat which a number of dry food companies do as well. If those are not good options for Cash, then you may consider a canned food which again will generally be safer than a dry food at making sure there isn't any chicken contamination. I have been pleased with Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets ( https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ ), but be sure to read the labels carefully. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks fo
