So me and my wife, in our late twenties, are getting our first two kitten from a shelter next saturday. I used to have cats when i was younger but didn't bother knowing what was best for them (that was my parents job) and they fed them science diet dry food...both cats never suffered but they were also "exterior cats" so that might have helped too now that i know dry food isn't great for cats. So yeah this morning i decided to do some research because i frankly had no idea how to pick the food for my future kittens. We ended up buying a large bag of vetdiet food (local canadian food brand of Mondou stores)...not sure if i will keep it tough after reading dry food has direct impact on cat's health.
My main concern right now is more on the budget side...canned food seems way more expensive than dry food. After doing some research, the prices and selection isnt so great in Canada either.
We don't have the kitten yet but we did visit them and as most sheltered pets, they are fed with dry food. My question is (i would appreciate feedback from canadians in the same situation) ...is it mandatory to transition to 100% canned food or being 50/50 is also an option? Is there a place i can buy canned food in bulk?
Any ressources on other articles i should read about kittens and particularly nutrition for them. Any "decent" dry food on the market here in Quebec? Thanks for your help
