Best kitten food?

We have a new beautiful baby! She is 9 weeks and the breader had her on whiskers kitten food and kitten milk, but I want to transition to a dry food and wet mix as that is what my research suggests is best for her. What do you all use/recommend? Thank you!

I have always used royal canin, my latest kitten was on purizon with the breeder but I'm slowly going to move him over to royal canin. I don't use kitten milk but pedigree kittens don't leave their mums until after 2nd vaccination so 13wks usually.

Our kitten is 12 weeks and was on Felix as good as it gets kitten food and go cat kitten biscuitswhen she arrived. I changed the biscuits to applaws. It took about a week or 10 days for her to accept them. She eats them mainly at night though she will snack on them occasionally during the day. Her coat looks super shiny on them. The Felix is becoming an area of disagreement so I'll be interested to see other people's suggestions.

When we bought our kittens the breeder told us to feed them on tesco own brand kitten food because it was the highest protein. Not sure how true or even beneficial that is but we’ve now put them on the Tesco adult food and they’re thriving, beautiful cats.

They also have raw chicken a few times a week when we’re cooking it. Which they love!

She didn't drink kitten milk when it was offered so I give her goats milk. She drinks a little - at most a tablespoon a day maybe - and I use the rest for cooking or cocoa.
