Hi guys. I'm getting a rescue cat next week, she's an adult, a little underweight. I've owned a dog and I fed him a raw/homecooked diet due to his stomach issues- proper nutrition is something I'm really passionate about so I want to make sure I choose a good diet for her. The shelter said she's been refusing to eat dry food so they feed her wet, and after the research I've done I would choose to feed primarily wet anyways.
I've been lurking through forum posts on here and elsewhere on the interwebs and here are the brands I've seen mentioned and am considering:
-Nature's Variety Instinct
-Weruva/Cats in the Kitchen
-Hills
-Wellness
-Fromms
(I'd appreciate flavour suggestions as well, all these brands have several different options and idk if some are better than the others).
There were a couple other brands I've seen mentioned but these are the ones I can easily find in-stores in Canada. I don't really want to buy online. I was also considering feeding half dry food/half wet, or feeding primarily wet and leaving some dry food out, but I dunno if she would even eat the dry food. Dry food suggestions to mix in are welcome though!
Finally, is there anything else I should supplement in (particularily if I end up feeding solely wet food)? Some type of biscuits or something? Occasional meat or fish? Dental health is also something I'm concerned about...does anyone give bones (raw obviously to avoid splintering)? And what's the general opinion of those dental additives to water?
