Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 11 years and 6 months old | 11.5 lbs

Hi Trixie has eaten wet Rx Royal Canin rabbit pea selected protein for many years due to IBS. Recently my vet gave me a can of duck pea to try because she has seemed to grow tired of rabbit. She told me to offer her both and let her choose. trixie is mainly Choosing duck but is still taking a few bites from the rabbit pea bowl too. If it doesn’t irritate her IBS can she have both ? Is It ok to mix? She also still likes her rabbit pea dry food. Thanks!!

If it doesn’t irritate her gut/cause vomiting or diarrhea, she can have both. Rabbit and duck appear to both be proteins that agree with her GI tract. Royal Canin is my favorite brand too! Good luck!
