I’m considering buying some kitten can food for my adult cat. Kitten foods typically have much better nutrition profiles, for example, Nutro kitten soft loaf is 47% protein, 53% fat, 0 carbs.
I feel like companies cheap out on adult foods by adding more unnecessary fillers and bringing down the protein percent while bringing up the carb percent because they can still meet AAFCO guidelines since adults are supposed to need less protein than kittens.
Anyone else ever considered this? There doesn’t seem to be a difference in ingredients, just nutritional profile.
