Best adult cat food for my 1-year-old? Hill's Science Diet vs Royal Canin.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

My cat is turning 1 soon so I am going to switch her over to adult food. She is currently eating Hills science diet (wet and dry), but I’ve heard it’s not actually the best food for her. Do you have any recommendations? I was considering using Royal canin.

Science Diet is a fine food, but Royal Canin is also a good diet. I recommend any adult cat food that has an AFFCO statement on the back of the bag that says its complete and balanced for adult animals.
