What Should I Feed My Ragdoll Cat? A Breeder’s Advice

Feed your Ragdoll a high-quality, high-protein diet to support their large frame and energy needs. Look for cat food where a named meat (like chicken or salmon) is the first ingredient.

Many owners find a mixed diet works well: premium dry kibble available for grazing (which can help with dental health) and scheduled meals of high-meat wet food for essential hydration.

Avoid foods full of fillers like corn, wheat, and soy. Ragdolls can be prone to weight gain due to their calm nature, so portion control is critical, regardless of the food you choose. Quality nutrition is an investment in their long-term health.

Bottom Line: A high-protein diet, with meat as the first ingredient, is best for their health and vitality.
