Helpful?
Do you have to transition when picking another flavor? Or can I switch flavors anytime with no transition?
- Thank you for reaching out. With 90% of dogs and cats you can as long as you stay in the same line. If your cat does not have a sensitive stomach there should be no issue.

I have a 4 month old foster kitten at home, any recommendations of kibbles that i can buy on amazon?

What kind of pet food do you recommend for a kitten
Can someone suggest me if Merrick whole Health brand is good for cats? Also my ragdoll kitten is 1yr 1month old now. Can I feed her cat food instead of kitten food? Since there is very limited choice of good brands in India , I could find Fancy feast Purina and Merrick only for wet food. And he prefers many flavors and wet food.
I am adopting a 6 week old rescue kitten. I get her on Monday. What is the best kitten food to give her?
Nutro, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, Taste of the Wild or Rachel Ray Nutrish for dry cat food? Cat has no known allergies or health conditions. Open to other recommendations. Want high quality and natural food that is healthy
Best low-carb wet food for cats?
I brought my cat (4 YO black American short hair) to the vet a few months ago after she was scooting frequently and her glands were released. Our vet said she needed to be changed to a high fiber diet which we did immediately (Image attached below). This was in fact one of the ones the vet told us to buy. However, she now wants wet food and I have no clue what to give her. I read up on Merrick and am unsure which specifically to buy. Help! Please and thank you!
Hello, Skye is a 8 months old healthy kitten, she eats Weruva wet food (rotation of different flavors) and Purina veterinarian diet Essential care for kitten dry food she's kind of getting bored with the dry, I'd like to keep her eating wet and dry food. What others brand of dry food do you remember ( not Hills science or Royal canin)? Thank you very much
Cat diagnosed hyperthyroid. Vet sold us Hills Thyroid. Full of corn and cat allergic to corn. She doesn't know iodine content of other foods. Need high protein, no grain, no fish, good taurine and low salt and iodine below .4. Can't seem to find that info. Bought Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Chicken which met requirements. But it is dry and 1/3 of it is powder. Have always used Natural Balance but iodine is 2.2. Can you tell me what the iodine/salt content is in a food that will work
I am getting an 8 week Cocker Spaniel. I am not new to Cocker Spaniel, just puppy versions. I want to try a new food for her, and need suggestions. I did research & came across these dry foods: Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Merrick Limited Ingredient Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Taste of Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free Smoked Salmon, Taste of Wild Appalachian Valley Small Bree’s Grain after Roasted Venison. Are any of those good, if so which one? Want to stay chicken free.
