Kitten food is this ok?

[Eggybreadwithnuts]

I want to do dry food for 9 week old kitten. Is this ok...
see.attached Royal Canin Kitten food and water...they dont need wet food...as it hets older i can give fresh chicke, fish etc

I wouldn’t touch any type of Royal Canin food.

According to their website: “This formula is suitable for 4 to 12-month-old kittens as they undergo a period of significant physical and behavioural changes.”

Why???

Its currently on whiskars kitten wet food. But i want to use dry kibble long term, supeemarket wet food is so expensive and whiskars seems to have rubbish in it and smells!!!!

My cats love Scrumbles kitten & queen dry food in chicken flavour. It’s grain free and a complete food. They’re actually 2 years old now and still insist on having it along side their wet food.

It’s not suitable for kittens under 4 months.

I used Purizon or Feringa - you can sometimes get them discounted on Zooplus.

@tumblingdowntherabbithole so you have a kitten?

I know you’ve ignored my previous post but Scrumbles is suitable from 8 weeks.

You're welcome.

Personally having had 2 kittens who were exclusively fed dry food who then went on to having terminal kidney failure before aged 10, I would always give some wet food each day as cats are notoriously bad for not drinking enough.

Current cat has always had dry food but with one pouch of high water content wet food (gravy, soup types) as a snack in the evening.

@Eggybreadwithnuts I wouldn’t feed it because it’s full of fillers and there are much better, cheaper foods out there. I’ve had multiple kittens over the years and have never fed any of them RC.

I'm not sure if you were asking me because you quoted me but tagged someone else, but I have two cats - technically no longer kittens as they recently turned 1.

They came to me on Hills Science Kitten food from the rescue centre, and I left them on that for a while as my first priority was to switch them onto a higher quality wet food (they were on Felix which seems pretty low quality and smells awful, though they loved it). Later I switched their dry food as I wanted that to have a higher protein content and grain free. They get a mixture of wet and dry.

Switching the dry food has been dead easy (they take to whatever they're given) but one of them in particular is very picky about wet food and it's taken ages to find something that is acceptable to them and I can also live with!
