How much should I feed my Ragdoll per day?

Most adult Ragdolls need roughly 200-280 kcal/day depending on weight and activity level. Divide this into two measured meals. Always check the calorie density of your specific food and adjust portions accordingly -- do not rely solely on bag feeding guides.

Can I free-feed a Ragdoll?

Free-feeding is generally not recommended for Ragdolls because their calm temperament means they tend to eat past their needs without obvious signs of overeating. Scheduled, portioned meals make it much easier to monitor intake and catch weight gain early.

When should I switch my Ragdoll from kitten to adult food?

Ragdolls grow slowly and may benefit from staying on a kitten or all-life-stages formula until 12-18 months, or even up to 24 months. Consult your vet for guidance based on your individual cat's development and body condition.

Should Ragdolls eat wet or dry food?

Both can form part of a healthy diet. Wet food adds moisture that supports kidney and urinary health -- important for Ragdolls -- while high-quality dry food can provide dental texture benefits. Many owners feed a combination. The key is tracking total daily calorie intake regardless of food format.
