Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 years old | 13 lbs
i've spotted some spots that look alarming on my cat, on her neck and bellies (see picture's) i'm not sure if it could be the food, she won't finish the dry food i give her and i haven't been able to give her wet food for a while.. i'm currently feeding her ( Family in pet kit in kibble, look at picture ) i haven't noticed any behavioral change in my cat but those spots are very alarming to me should i take her to the vet? i'm going to try and change her diet.

I recommend to have her examined. This spots may not be related to the diet and they could actually be something like ringworm which can spread to humans. if the lesions become a chronic issue, your best option to rule out food allergy is to feed a hydrolyzed protein diet and conduct a proper food trial. I hope this helps.
