Dry food for kitten

[shortykatyk]

I’m primarily feeding my kitten wet food and recently got furious because my mom has been giving her dry food as a meal or snack. I don’t mind it so much as a snack but certainly not 9 lives. Is there a good brand y’all recommend? I’m looking for something easy on her digestion because she’s not a big chicken fan.

It's fine to feed kittens some dry food but, yeah, 9 Lives isn't great. Many kitten dry foods are chicken based. I found a turkey / duck dry food on Chewy. Chewy might have other non-chicken dry foods for kittens. Petco, Petsmart, and pet stores in your area should also have some.

Thank you. I think I’m mostly a worry wart wanting to make sure she eats enough moisture for her kidneys. She will eat chicken but begrudgingly, seems more interested in liver, Turkey and occasionally beef or duck. It’s weird because my old cat adored chicken.

The main difference in "kitten" and "adult" formulas in commercial dry food is the amount of fat, because the kitty needs to grow. You could find high meat kibble not specifically aimed at kittens which are fine. Keep feeding mostly wet.

She's happy to much on tiki cat for kittens at night along with her wet food but we do still feed her at least 90% of the time wet food. Usually a mix of fancy feast, unatamed from tractor supply, halo, nulo, simply nourish etc. she is picky but im learning what she likes and doesn't like.
