Hi all,
I adopted an 8-year-old kitty from the local humane society last week and am looking for advice about how to feed him. The shelter had him on Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice dry food, and my new vet said that was okay at a half cup a day, but I'm very concerned about the negative reviews I've seen of it online. I'd like to switch to a higher quality dry food without breaking the bank too much. It would also be great if I could get it at a pet store like Pet Supplies Plus, Petsmart, or something similar so I don't have to worry about online ordering. What kind of dry food do you like and recommend?
I have also been reading all over the internet that feeding cats a dry-food-only diet isn't very healthy, especially for overweight cats. At 14.5 pounds, my cat definitely falls into that category. What kind of wet food do you guys prefer? My parents only gave the cats we had when I was a kid dry food, so I'm completely lost when it comes to choosing a wet variety. Also, how do you suggest incorporating both wet and dry food into cats' diets?
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Skimble is the first pet that I've owned by myself now that I'm out on my own in the grown-up world, and I worry about keeping him healthy a lot. I'd like to spend as much time with him as possible. Thank you!
