Help me find high-quality cat food after a bad brand experience.

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.

Should I switch my dog and cat from Hill's Science Diet to Wellness?

In my opinion, Wellness is not as good a food as Hill's Science Diet and I agree with the recommendation of your vet's office to keep your dog and cat on Hill's. Hill's has better ingredients and is overall a better quality food. In addition, the truth is that grain free food is really a fad. Only about 5% of dogs have food allergies, and of these dogs, the major of the food allergies are protein. Grain allergies are actually extremely rare, and I only recommend feeding a pet a grain free food if they have a diagnosed grain allergy. I personally recommend keeping your pets on Hill's. I hope this helps!

Cat with cancer only eats tuna. What diet or supplements are best?

VetriScience NuCat Multivitamin Everyday Health Bite Sized Chews available on chewy.com and amazon.com are highly palatable multivitamins that would be good to supplement Greg’s diet with. Prescription Royal Canin recovery canned diet is generally palatable (yummy) to even sick or hospitalized cats and is another option as well that your vet can either sell from his/her practice or prescribe. Good luck!

What food and supplements help a sick cat gain weight after illness?

I recommend feeding Hills a/d. It’s easily digestible, cats usually love it and it is very calorie dense so Watson will start to recover quickly even if he doesn’t eat that much. I would also have a dry kitten food available at all times and offer some tasty cat treats to stimulate his appetite. In addition to feeding many meals daily increasing his exercise will help build muscle and also stimulate his appetite and speed his recovery. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Watson.

My cat with food allergies is sick and losing weight. What wet food?

If Magic has been fine for years and suddenly is losing weight and sick, I would worry that there could be something else going on. I would recommend having your vet examine her and run some routine bloodwork. That may give us an idea of what is going on. In the meantime, any wet food will not have the artificial colors that some dry foods have, so you could try any wet food (but I would try to stick with the same protein sources that she has been eating previously since she has done well on them). But as I said, I would recommend having an exam and bloodwork checked ASPAP to see what else might be going on. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
