As mentioned in a few previous threads, i was previously feeding my 9 month old kitten on royal canin (as instructed by his breeder when i got him)
However, after reading up and etc, i started to change his diet and am now currently feeding him feline natural + ziwipeak
I recently talked to his breeder again re his panting after playing, to which she kind of brushed off and said it was natural because he's excited. and that his parents have both been checked and have no hereditery diseases. But she also brought up the food change and said that i'm doing harm as he's still a kitten and needs kitten food that has high protein, royal canin kitten is a top premium brand and gives him sufficient protein that ziwipeak/feline natural do not.
Whilst i was insistent that feline natural and ziwipeak are better foods, a quick glance at the cans got me worried as royal canin kitten has 12.5? % of protein vs 8.5 on fn/zp.
Am i doing it wrong? the conversation ended rather coldly with her telling me to do as i see fit but her opinion is that royal canin is the food he needs. if anyone is willing to lend a listening ear, please message me in conversations! the conversation i had with the breeder got me really worried and i will be willing to share screenshots in private
