Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.
I feel like Wellness fits all of those categories pretty well. I guess affordable is a very relative term, but if you are only feeding one cat, one of the large cans should last you a bit. This is what I feed to my three adult cats and they all love it. You will definitely need to go to a pet food store, tractor supply, or an online supplier to obtain this food rather than a supermarket usually. Hill's also makes pretty good quality (has a grain free line) food, but I don't think their wet food is smooth like you requested. Anyway, hope this helps!
I haven't used Beaphar products before, but just looking at their ingredients, I would probably recommend using their treats for the actual drive because it has 3 different ingredients that may help with stress. If you think that needs to be combined with a longer lasting product, it looks like the collar has both Valerian and lavender, while the spot on only has Valerian. But if your cat is not used to wearing a collar, then she may not tolerate the collar well. I would contact the company to discuss the specifics of your move and ask them for a recommendation. As far as other products to consider to help stranger cats get along, I have a couple suggestions (although the Beaphar products may be very helpful). The goal is to decrease stress between the cats. One option for decreasing stress is to add a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) to your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. I have also had luck with Rescue Remedy ( http://www.bachflower
Hello. While there are no absolute contraindications for using this in cats, it should not be relied on to control diarrhea. Kaolin/pectin should not replace adequate fluids/electrolyte monitoring or replacement therapy for severe diarrheas. If your pet's diarrhea persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by lethargy, dehydration, loss of appetite, fever or abdominal pain, please see your veterinarian immediately. she may need antibiotics & more intensive therapy. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
I know some people feel that Bach’s flower essences, Rescue Remedy in particular, can be helpful in pets but there is no scientific research to back this up. It is probably safe to use flower essences since they primarily contain alcohol. You may want to try a pheromone diffuser or spray like Feliway - there is scientific evidence that this can help reduce stress.
