Best kitten food I have found

Wellness Core Wet Kitten Food: Turkey & Chicken Liver This is the best kitten food I have found. I've done a lot of research, and from the foods available that I've found, this is the best diet I could find without going "raw" or making my own. While "raw" diets should be more nutritious for the cat, there is a possibility of salmonella contamination as well as a lot more work involved in refrigerating, portioning, and heating. For the convenience of portioned and fully cooked food jars, I'll address the potentially "lower" quality of these foods. I can also order it from Amazon and have it delivered to my home. This meal has "chicken flour" in it, which you don't necessarily need, but it's pretty low on the ingredient list, so I don't worry too much about it. That. It also has cranberries, which are said to be good for urinary tract health. I read that it is not necessary for cats. I don't know exactly, so I'll mention it and not comment. It's pretty expensive food. It currently costs $21.48 for 12 cans (3 ounces). That's 1.79 cents a can, or 0.6 cents an ounce. or 9.55/lb. Take this into account when purchasing. That's more than a pound here than any good meat I could buy at the grocery store. The full Wellness line is almost as good and costs a little less, but it's still more expensive than something like the wet food you might be more familiar with. I ended up buying it simply because it's the best I can find and I can afford it with my only kitty. I feed her (1) can in the morning and supplement with the recommended amount of kibble from the same range. We had a cat that ate cheap dry food and then spent the rest of her life on Royal Canin S/O due to urinary problems. Only occasionally given a pack of wet food or snacks in the kitchen, he was healthy and fit until he died of old age at 16. It's up to you to decide if the price is worth it, but I believe the quality is definitely there if you decide it's worth it. As an additional note, my kitten was found abandoned at 2 weeks old. I got her when she was 5 weeks old and she fed adult wet food. I switched her to Kitten Health Pate and fed her two cans a day. I wanted to add kibble because they said they have to feed for free until they are 1 year old to grow. At first she didn't even realize it was edible, so I sprinkled a little over her wet food. She started eating it (it was Royal Canin Kitten at the time) and preferred it. She would have eaten everything and the wet food would have spoiled in the bowl. Then, when I realized that Royal Canin was not of the right quality, I switched them to Wellness Core Kitten Dry along with wet food. She didn't like it. My guess is that Royal Canin is sprayed with some sort of scent to make them comfortable and Wellness is not. Now she eats all her wet and won't dry up until I sprinkle some Royal Canine on top and mix it up. The kitten will have preferences and will love what doesn't suit her. Your diet will change based on these preferences. Just something else to keep in mind when planning what to get them. I can afford to buy more expensive food because instead of feeding several cans of wet food a day, I feed one can and supplement with dry food. They have feeding instructions based on that.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
