Brands I personally recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I recommend these brands because they are high quality cat foods, and they have veterinary nutritionists on staff. Having veterinary nutritionist on staff at a pet food company ensures there are experts there who know what a cat needs to be healthy and meet their nutritional needs, and formulates a food to match that. Because of that, in my opinion, I would pick one of those brands. I hope this helps!

Birbo dry food is this brand good for my cat? What dry food should I use for my cat because I don't be in the home always
I'm not familiar with this brand of food to be honest. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I would feed Ryo one of those brands, and make sure it's a kitten formulated food. He needs kitten food until he is a year old. Best of luck.

What dry and wet food do you recommend for kittens just weaned from their mother?
I believe any high quality kitten food is good. Some of the top brands that have a lot of research to back their products is iams, science diet, and royal canin. They will likely need a little canned food at first and just let dry food out for them to start nibbling on! I hope this helps!

How can I find a cite that will tell me which brand of food is best for my cat? I’ve been reading horror stories about how commercial pet food is prepared and how detrimental and down right dangerous it is to a cat’s health and quality of life. Ther
Don't believe those sites. Typically they are written by people who have absolutely no training in animal nutrition. The best brands of cat food are Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. They meet AAFCO standards, run feeding trials, and (most important), have veterinary nutritionists on staff that ensure the food is healthy and balanced. They are the only brands to have this. I feed my cats Iams, and they love it (including my Persian).

What is the best and affordable wet cat food?
Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. The first three brands are a little pricier, but they are very high quality. Iams is also high quality, but it's at a more reasonable price. If you are looking at a supermarket brand of wet cat food, I recommend Purina. I hope this helps!

What kind of pet food do you recommend for a kitten
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Congratulations on getting a new kitten, no better feeling! As you have probably noticed there are many kitten diets available. Hill's Science Diet healthy development and Purina Pro Plan diets are in my opinion the best kitten diets. Both you can get at your local pet store or online. Good luck and have a good night!

I am adopting a 6 week old rescue kitten. I get her on Monday. What is the best kitten food to give her?
Hello. There are many good kitten foods available, but the very best are the ones produced by Hills Science Diet & Royal Canin. They are exceptional foods & well worth the little extra expense of feeding a well-balanced diet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
