My cat Milly has always been super picky when it comes to food. I work for Petco so I always buy the top quality brands of wet food for them. I even tried raw cat food which she really liked, until it was discountinued. We give our other 2 cats (Baloo & Lola) what Milly gets, but I’ve noticed that this last time I changed their food to a new brand, it has caused all 3 some digestive issues. What should I look for in a new food to keep Milly happy & all 3 from having digestive issues.

Hello, if you could recall the protein source or flavor of the food they really liked and had little to no digestive issues, then I would try something similar to that. Certain cats can have reactions to different kind of proteins and ingredients, so offering a novel protein (fish, duck, venison, lamb), limited ingredient (sweet potato, peas) diet is likely the best way to approach her GI issues. Hope this helps and best of luck.
