Hello,
I'm trying to expand my 14-week-old Bella's diet. Right now, I'm feeding her primarily Wellness Kitten wet with a little Wellness Kitten Health dry between meals. I also feed her Wellness Healthy Indulgence Chicken & Chicken Liver/Turkey & Chicken recipes three times a week and Weruva Nine Liver/Paw Licken' Chicken once a week in addition to the Wellness Kitten. I've noticed that Wellness now has intoduced a kitten variety to their Wellness Core Grain-Free wet and dry foods. I'm wondering if anyone is currently feeding these varieties to their little ones and if they're more "better" than Wellness Kitten. The reason for my inquiry is that I'm confused with all the different wet/dry foods "out there" and I want to provide my little one the best that I can. I can't give her a raw diet for many reasons. I ask for your patience as I provide the analyses:
Wellness Core Grain-Free Kitten Formula (wet):
INGREDIENTS: Turkey, Chicken Liver, Turkey Broth, Chicken, Herring, Chicken Meal, Natural Chicken Flavor, Menhaden Fish Oil, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Carrageenan, Ground Flaxseed, Cranberries, Taurine, Dried Kelp, Chicory Root Extract, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Alfalfa Meal, Salt, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Choline Chloride, Cobalt Proteinate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Copper Proteinate, Magnesium Oxide, Manganese Proteinate, Niacin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Selenite, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Biotin, Folic Acid.
Wellness Core Grain-Free Kitten Formula (dry):

This is a naturally preserved product.
The Core formula doesn't contain the fruits and vegatables that "regular" formula does. Also, it contains more Omega 3 Fatty Acids. I'm wondering if chicory root extract is healthy for kittens/cats. Should I be worried about that? Thank you in advance for any insight you may provide. Also, thank you for your patience and reading...
