I'm new, so hi!!
My cat Bella is 7. I used to feed her Iams, but I decided to switch to a better food, and I got recommended Blue Buffalo, so I got that. I very gradually switched her over the course of a month or so. I noticed that she doesn't eat as much as she used to. She used to eat a little over 1/2 cup per day (I free feed once a day), but now there's always about a fifth or sixth of that left in her bowl in the morning. She's acting perfectly fine other than that. Maybe sleeping a little bit more, but I'm not sure as I'm at work during the day.
I'm just nervous because my best friend switched her cats to BB and her male cat got sick. The vet wasn't sure if it was related to the food change, but now I'm worried that I made the wrong food choice with Bella.
My sister-in-law feeds her dog Taste of the Wild and suggested I try that brand. When I called the vet, he suggested Science Diet or Royal Canin. I really just want to make the best choice for my cat, but I don't know what to do. Any advice?
