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.

Purina Proplan is one of the three highest quality foods I recommend to clients. The other two are Royal Canin and Hills. They follow veterinary nutritionist guidelines and current evidence based research. Gluten intolerance is extremely rare in pets and gluten content has no bearing on a food's quality. It is also important to not overfeed protein as it can harm the kidneys, so foods with higher meat content may not be better. I hope this helps.

Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. This is an excellent food choice for you. It contains barley (and rice, and oatmeal) so is NOT grain free. The primary protein is salmon, and chicken is not listed in the ingredients. I frequently recommend this for dogs who should avoid chicken. Hope this helps!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I think the Purina Pro Plan diets are very good and also affordable. Both dry and wet diets are equally good in general especially for younger cats. I prefer wet food in older cats when I am concerned about kidney disease just to increase the water content in the diet. Good luck and have a great day!

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!
