Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Raw diets are not safe for pets as they can contain bacteria, like salmonella, which can cause serious health problems. Your cat is not a wild cat and does not need protein only diets. They also need grains and carbohydrates in their diet to be balanced and complete. Most veterinarians recommend the top 4 brands of pet food- Hill's/Science Diet, Purina, Iams, and Royal Canin. We also recommend any diet you chose to have a statement on the bag regarding its use in AAFCO feeding trials and not just formulated according to AAFCO requirements. This means it is used for complete and balanced nutrition for a specific life stage (vs. “intermittent and supplemental feeding” which should be fed only as treat items). This means that the diet has actually been fed to a group of animals and they thrived, instead of someone simply calculating a “good diet” in a computer program. I hope this helps! Kisses to Sweetie!

Any of these would be fine: ( https://www.amazon.com/Hills-Science-Diet-Kitten-Chicken/dp/B003M5TGCI/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=kitten+dry+food&qid=1575986553&sr=8-8 ) ( https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Pro-Plan-Chicken-Formula/dp/B003R0LLXU/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=kitten+dry+food&qid=1575986553&sr=8-6 ) ( https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Canin-Feline-Nutrition-Kittens/dp/B00ECQ966W/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=kitten+dry+food&qid=1575986553&sr=8-9 )

That should be fine! As long as Chloe likes her food, has no GI issues like diarrhea, good skin and ears and is at a healthy weight there is no problem with variety. I recommend an AAFCO tested (vs formulated - should be written on the bag) food, I hope this helps!

Good on you for doing this! Trusty needs a puppy formulated food still, and brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I personally feed my dogs Iams and they love it. Start the switch now, and do it slowly to avoid GI upset. Best of luck.

If you are concerned about food sensitivities or allergies, feed one exclusively (no treats, just the food) for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. Then do the same for the other. Choose the food that Sweetie does best on. If she tolerates both, choose the one she likes best and is easiest for you to buy.
