Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are several diets available in the market as you have probably noticed. I personally prefer Purina, Royal canin and Science Diet foods as they are of high quality and have research to back up their use. Any of their variations should be good for Maddi. Good luck and have a great day!

Whiskas is considered a lower-quality brand, but is still nutritionally complete to give. If you're looking for a higher-end food, looking to brands that are readily available at pet stores such as Science Diet or Royal Canin are good choices. These brands offer many different varieties so you can better tailor the food to Lucy's individual needs, and some even have foods specific to certain breeds/sizes of cat. Both also carry a variety of wet and dry foods if you want to feed both, however that isn't always necessary. Feeding twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) as you are currently doing should be fine. If she seems extra hungry or is losing weight, smaller more frequent meals may also help. Your vet can also help you monitor Lucy's weight over time with the new food if you're curious to see how her weight or body condition changes.

Since Cash is a small dog, you might consider one of the more expensive options such as a dehydrated or fresh food diet. They are able to control their ingredients much more easily than a large manufacturing plant does that makes dry food. I have been very pleased with The Honest Kitchen ( https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/ ) and Just Food For Dogs ( https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/ ). Both have foods that will not have chicken and both have options without any poultry. You do not have to worry about the potential addition of chicken fat which a number of dry food companies do as well. If those are not good options for Cash, then you may consider a canned food which again will generally be safer than a dry food at making sure there isn't any chicken contamination. I have been pleased with Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets ( https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ ), but be sure to read the labels carefully. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Either kind of wet cat food is fine to feed. Your new cat may have his or her own preferences so you may want to buy both types and see which kind is preferred. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck with your new cat!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Romeo. What a handsome boy! Pet nutrition is a confusing topic and the internet is filled with inaccurate information. I agree that high quality ingredients are important. However, it is equally important that these ingredients are combined appropriately and in the right proportions to give the best nutrition. For this reason, I support companies that have board certified veterinary nutritionists on staff and perform feeding trials in live animals as opposed to simple laboratory analysis. I like Purina ProPlan, Royal Canin and Hill's Science Diet. They are will have each have a variety of flavors and formulas that would be appropriate for him. I hope this information helps!
