rotating wet foods

[beccamperr]

is it safe to rotate wet foods across different brands for a cat who doesn't appear to have a sensitive stomach? or is it better to stick to one brand and switch flavors? i know that dry food should usually be consistent (she eats purina pro plan) and i was wondering if its the same for wet

i'm wary of sticking my cat to one brand; i think there are a lot of things that wvasa-recognized brands like purina and hills lack in their food that smaller brands make up for, and vice versa of course. in my head, i think rotating would make sure she's getting a complete set of nutrients but this is my first cat so i have no experience!

If your cat is not a fussy eater and don’t have stomach complications that disagree with food, I see no problem doing that which is a good practice because if one brand or flavor runs out, you still have many choices that your cat will still eat as compared to fussy eaters and sensitive stomach cats.

I agree, tabbytom is right and so are you, to rotate through different brands

With Feeby, I have no recourse but to rotate foods, and it includes various brands and proteins, all canned. I try to never repeat the same food for at least a week - or more - in order to keep her eating to an acceptable level.

My thought is, the more the merrier, I use 3 different brands and probably 7-8 different flavors, a bored eater is not helpful......

Yes definitely safe!
My vet encourages it as well due to all the COVID shortages and changes that happened. She said. A lot of people had trouble with their cats eating
