Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 7 lbs
Hi, i have a british longhair cat that I just recently got last month, he suffered on a diarrhea probably by the changing of food, which is whiskas dry food at the morning and whiskas wet food at the evening,and he is not consuming too much water. Can you suggest me a good brand of food? and for which time of day i will feed it to her. thank you

Whiskas is considered a lower-quality brand, but is still nutritionally complete to give. If you're looking for a higher-end food, looking to brands that are readily available at pet stores such as Science Diet or Royal Canin are good choices. These brands offer many different varieties so you can better tailor the food to Lucy's individual needs, and some even have foods specific to certain breeds/sizes of cat. Both also carry a variety of wet and dry foods if you want to feed both, however that isn't always necessary. Feeding twice a day (once in the morning and once at night) as you are currently doing should be fine. If she seems extra hungry or is losing weight, smaller more frequent meals may also help. Your vet can also help you monitor Lucy's weight over time with the new food if you're curious to see how her weight or body condition changes.
