Help me find high-quality cat food after a bad brand experience.

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 3 lbs

Hi. I really really need a recommendation for my cats food. Wet, Dry, whatever. They were/are on Blue Buffalo/Blue Wilderness but after this recent lawsuit I am scared and want to switch them to something high quality. I just feel overwhelmed and have no idea where to start. Please please help.

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.
