Yes, I personally like Royal Canin diets. For her age, just the regular Adult food is fine. ( https://www.royalcanin.com/ca/en_ca/cats/products/vet-products?specialneeds=0ad835cc921d4d0cb3ee61a8cc461fbe&feedingperiod=78.3&filter=643ceeb4-c516-477f-96db-fd7ee1b41ec0 ) She can eat either wet or dry; whichever she prefers and what you can afford. Canned food can be very expensive if that is all you are feeding. You can also feed a combination of both wet and dry if you'd like. Feed her according to the directions on the packaging. If you do both wet and dry you need to make sure you don't overfeed her. She is already at her maximum weight so if you notice weight gain you will need to back off on how much you are feeding.

I would recommend choosing a brand of food and sticking with it. Changing food frequently can lead to digestive upset and a picky eater. Royal Canin is a great brand and I would stick with that if possible. Feeding her canned and dry food is ok too. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

The single pouches are meant to be single serve per cat, and it gives the cat fresh wet food each time as opposed to the larger canned food that must be stored in the fridge if all of it isn't used at once. By a cost comparison, the pouches will be more expensive, so it's fine for you to give Wilkie and Orieo the half a can of the wet food instead. Brands I recommend including Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps :-)

Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. The first three brands are a little pricier, but they are very high quality. Iams is also high quality, but it's at a more reasonable price. If you are looking at a supermarket brand of wet cat food, I recommend Purina. I hope this helps!
