Our bengal has lived on Purine One and Royal Canin for the past 3 years before we got her. After looking at the nutrition and ingredients, we are not impressed at all. I found a website linked from this forum for grading the food, and the Purina One got a solid F. The Royal Canin was too pricey for the amount of grains in it. We have no problem paying that much for food, but we want to get food fit for a bengal. We've looked at EVO, Merrick, Blue Wilderness, and Nature's Variety Instinct. All are readily available at our local pet store. We have a sample starter of the Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused and plan to gradually try and mix that in. After studying the ingredients of Purina One, we want to stop giving that right away. She occasionally does just have Royal Canin instead of the mix and does just fine with that. She was given a can occasionally as a treat before we got her, but everything I have read advocates giving them more canned food for hydration purposes. She does drink lots of fresh water from her bowl, though.
Does anyone have any recommendations for dry food and how often she should have wet food? We're going to take her to the vet soon and talk to her about nutrition.
