l agree with the posters above.

My kitten came to me eating Babycat, and l weaned him off it to a rotation of foods, including Wellness grain free (not kitten). He likes the Evo kitten.

Thank you, everyone! You all confirmed what I was thinking. I'm currently feeding my 12-week old Bella Wellness Kitten wet along with Wellness grain-free wet (twice the amount). When I took Bella to the vet a week ago because of loose stools, he suggested Royal Canin. She was eating Evo Cat and Ktten at the time. But with a change to Wellness canned and FortiFlora, her stools are normal now.

Thank you for all your opinions!!!

P.S. I"m also supplementing her diet with a little of the chicken recipes Weruva. Just a little because I don't like all the potato starch in it and the fact it is so low in fat (1%).

You can also give the Nutro products a look see at http://www.nutro.com/natural-pet-food/natural-cat-food.aspx   There are 2 lines of food.  Nutro Max Cat and Nutro Natural Choice.  All of mine went through their kitten hoods on Nutro products and have done quite well on it.  Today their wet diet consists of both lines of Nutro products as well as other premium brands for changes in texture and flavors.   Good luck in your search!
