Food & NutritionIs Merrick cat food good for my 1-year-old switching to adult food?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Baluu can definitely switch to adult food at this time. I have seen many healthy cats on Merrick and it appears to be a quality food. I also like and trust Purina as well (my own cat eats Purina). Fancy Feast is considered a slightly lower quality, but I have seen many cats do well on it.
As with any diet switch, switch slowly over 3-5 days to prevent stomach upset.
Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Baluu!
