How long is DHA important in diet for a large breed cat? I know the standard to switch from kitten food to adult cat food is one year, but what about cat breeds that are slow maturing such as a Ragdoll?

I have a Ragdoll as well! They are my favorite breed of cats. I switched my Ragdoll from kitten food to adult food when he was a year old, and he was just fine. He's a massive boy, 17 pounds. It's fine to make the switch at a year. You can also feed Tallulah a breed specific food. Royal Canin has a Ragdoll formulated food.
