Product Information

Dry food is a popular choice for its affordability, feeding convenience, and ease of storage. It's made via a process called extrusion, which consists of pushing ground-up food materials through a small opening and cooking the extruded kibbles under high pressure. There will be a difference in what your kitten wants to eat and what they don't want to eat," says Zoran. While a steady rotation of tastes, textures, and brands will keep your kitten food-flexible, they might prefer one texture of food over another. "It's a trial-and-error process," she adds. Good quality kitten food isn’t cheap but ensuring your kitten has the best start in life is important, which includes giving them food that will provide them with the vital nutrition they need to grow up healthy. Jollyes dry food is more reasonably priced than some alternatives but is still approved by veterinarians and carefully balanced for your kitten’s nutritional needs. Our kittens seem to really enjoy the Pro Plan food and we found it to be gentle on the stomach. What’s more, as the food is in gravy, rather than jelly, it’s easy for kittens to lap up as they explore chewing the chunks. Special Care: sterilised cats or overweight cats require different nutrition, so Purina Pro Plan special care nutrition has been designed to specifically support these needs, as well as offering an anti-hairball dry food option that have all been developed with your cat in mind, in a range of flavours.

Expert formulations: For this guide, we prioritized brands that have a dedicated nutrition expert on staff, which aligns with WSAVA guidelines and our experts' guidance. We also looked for brands active in research or those that collaborate with universities and colleges. Live Clear: this delicious dry cat food range has been specially formulated to reduce allergies by a staggering amount, the very first of its kind! It binds allergens in fur and skin using a special protein and is ideal for more sensitive cats. These Purina Pro Plan Live Clear dishes also support every other aspect of your cat’s health, for overall wellbeing! We use the term ‘budget’ advisably here, as good quality kitten food isn’t cheap. But it is vitally important to give your bundle of fluff the best start in life and not skimp on quality food. Hill’s Science Plan is slightly cheaper than other wet foods, particularly as the brand recommends that you only feed a pouch a day and supplement with their dry food to make up a kitten’s daily recommended amount. The food is thinly sliced to help with the transition from milk to solid foods and is available in three textures to suit fussy felines. We’ve chosen the jelly variety, but it’s also available in gravy and loaf varieties. Royal Canin seems to be very popular with kittens and cats, so we’re confident your kitten will enjoy one of the textures.Chunks-in-gravy kitten food is a mix of tender bites of protein and nutritious liquid. Biting into soft chunks is no problem for a kitten with teeth, but smooth pâté might be better suited for their very first bites.

As you’ll no doubt imagine, this food is expensive but can be priceless if your kitten is struggling with digestive issues or finding themselves unable to transition from milk to solids. Make sure your kitten always has access to water but ensure your water dish is no more than two inches high while the kitten is small to keep them safe when drinking. Our main reviewer volunteers for a cat rescue charity, meaning that at certain times of year there are litters of kittens available to test kitten food. We gave each brand of food to a selection of kittens who had been weaned from their mother and were ready to try solid food. Our experts give high marks to wet kitten food. However, it can be on the pricier side when compared to budget-friendly kibble. While Dr. Bruce Kornreich, a board-certified cardiologist and director of the Cornell Feline Health Center at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, can't recommend specific brands, he says that high-quality affordable wet kitten food is on the shelves. Brands may use less expensive ingredients to keep costs down, but that doesn't mean they've sacrificed quality.
