Feeding kitten

[mrw5641]

What brand and flavor are you feeding your kitten?

Looking to see what others are feeding

Science diet kitten dry
Fancy feast kitten wet

Trying to find something without chicken or by products

Is there any actual sensitivity to chicken? If so neither of those foods are good, fancy feast has unnamed meats, science diet has a lot of fillers (corn etc) cats can't digest corn and it is a common trigger for intestinal issues.

What about Blue healthy growth dry -it does have chicken broth but the main protein is turkey.

 

[mrw5641]

No sure allergy but I don't like the fact that there are fillers and meat by products regardless of allergy or not.

I will have to take a trip to petco

Tractor Supply carries a no grain wet called 4Health Untamed. It has a lot fewer ingredients than a lot of cat foods. They have duck, chicken, turkey, whitefish, tuna, and more.

Tiki Cat After dark is appropriate for all life stages, as is Rawz pate. If you’re on a budget, you’re looking at brands like Fancy Feast, American Journey, and Tiny Tiger.

My kitten really likes fancy feast classics and she also likes Instinct kitten, wasn’t crazy about tiki cat kitten.

I can tell you fancy feast has unspecified byproduct in it.

Personally I'm ok with byproduct if it's not first ingredient and if it's named (ie chicken byproduct or beef byproduct)

But yeah if I don't know what it is coming from I avoid it.

I had a cat who couldn't have anything with corn or rice because it made her throw up. I eventually ended up using primal pheasant nuggets for her because everything else seemed to either make her chew her front paws raw or throw up. It got so bad the vet had to declaw a couple of her toes because they got infected from the chewing. Not declaw but remove part of the toe because she ripped it off.
