Is there an average time frame in which a dry food kitten can be transitioned to wet food? I have a 4 month old kitten that has been on dry food (Royal Canin kitten) since about 5 weeks olds. I have only had him about 3 weeks now. He is still on the RC kitten dry but I have been introducing various wet foods. The good news is that he loves wet food and prefers it to dry so he's not a kibble addict yet. He still grazes on the kibble throughout the day. The bad news is that it has softened his poop. Not to the point of diarrhea but soft enough to keep his bum a little dirty. I understand that it will take time for his body to adjust because wet and dry are very different, but about how long do you give a food to see if it will work? Since he's on RC dry, I decided to get some RC babycat soft mousse and some of the kitten loaf canned foods to see how he does on those. I know they aren't the best ingredients but it's the same company as the dry he is used to. I wouldn't keep him on something that clearly isn't sitting well but I understand about transitional digestive issues.
