Please notice that she did not recommend any of the science or big veterinary brands. Please always do your research before you take your vets recommendation. I almost lost my dog because they changed their formula without stating that they changed it. They don’t actually care about your pets. They care about money.

One of my kittens has had some messy diarrhea and we finally determined it is probably because of the milk in the Fancy Feast you showed. Switched to crunchies for a day and no problems. Watching this to find better options for wet food.

Hello, thanks so much for the video. I'm looking at the Whole Earth Farms and Instinct food brands, and considering those brands for kibble as I feed my kitten wet and free-feed him the dry food throughout the day (following the feeding guidelines). I'm wondering what your opinion is on the Merrick Healthy Kitten Recipe chicken dinner pate? I use this brand for wet and dry food for my kitten. It seems like it should have made the list so I was just wondering about your opinion of the brand or if I should reconsider. Thanks!

New subscriber! Your videos have been very helpful in deducting what food to give my newly adopted kitten. I originally picked Instinct, prior to seeing this video, good to get confirmation.

Hello ! I am a new soon to be kitten owner and was wondering what would be the best choice for a wet kitten food?

Maybe you could look into chew items to clean teeth

I have 2 kittens which are 5 months old, 1 half maine coon female and the other one normal shorthair male but a big one to my opinion (i had a mother and her kittens before until they passed at 15-17y old, and they weren't as big at 5 months). When they don't sleep, i play with them ALOT to get them really fit, almost like a challenge to get them as muscled as they can get. I'm about to change to this food selection: - Applaws wet food pots and layers, which are for adult cats but I'm convinced it is really good quality food -dry kitten food from a good brand like Hill's and Purina. And extra which is called: - Muscle Mass from Puur Natuur.. Which is like a protein shake almost, but I'm gonna serve them below what Puur Natuur recommends, to not over-do.. And last but not least : LOTS of water refreshed couple of times a day. What do you think?

@AllAboutCatsYT

3 жыл бұрын

Hello there! This generally looks like a good diet! I'd make sure that the Applaws isn't an overly-large part of the diet, since it's not a nutritionally complete food. Instead, you might find a comparable wet food that is nutritionally-complete and balanced for kittens or all life stages.

My 3 months old stray kitten had to go for gastro diet because she's been having a diarrhea. Hence the vet recommended Royal Canin's wet food for gastrointestinal and it's been good for few days. However when I tried to change to kibble Green's Mother & Baby, the diarrhea came back and her poop smells so bad and strong. Had to give that RC's gastro one while trying to give her Equilibrio's kitten one (Since I wanted to get rid of RC's gastro due to the price). But she disliked the EQ and now I'm thinking of trying for Purina One's kitten (dry and wet food). But I'm not sure if it's good for the kitten, not seeing much review on that. What do you say on that? Really appreciate anyone's help!

My kitten is currently 7 months old and I’ve only been feeding him Wellness Core kitten immediately after we got him (so for about 4 months now). But after a blood test, the BUN and creatinine ratio was out of normal range. (One being unusually high, the other low). My vet told me that this was usually due to too high protein in the diet so I immediately changed to a brand that wasn’t so high (Now Fresh Kitten). I’m planning to do another blood test after a few months, but I’m hoping for input on our case since this was recommended on your video!

@AllAboutCatsYT

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jenn! Royal Canin's wet kitten food is okay, but not the best-you'll find a lot of potentially low-value by-products, vaguely-named proteins, and starchy additives. Overall, the food has a bit more carbohydrate content than your kitten needs and probably isn't the best option. Royal Canin has a good reputation, but nutritionally, I wouldn't place it among the best on the market. We also plan to make a video on Royal Canin soon, but for now, you might like our written brand review: www.wwwallaboutcats.com/royal-canin-cat-food-review

The best kitten food is mostly raw (and some cooked) meat. Raw beef is good, boiled pork, boiled chicken, raw or cooked unseasoned eggs and various types of fish, even canned tuna in water is fine.

I loved fancy feast for 3 of my cats. BUTTTT my 4th kitty the fancy feast caused severe allergies my kitty scratching and red, flaky skin, itching.. I switched and its better now, no more itchy

Question- if I am at work for around six hours on the days I work would you recommend leaving out a small bowl of kibble while I am gone? Or would they be okay to wait until I am home for the wet food? Want to go wet food route as much as possible but don’t want them to be hungry!

@AllAboutCatsYT

3 жыл бұрын

Hello Johnnie, it's okay to let your cat wait for you to come home, but if you're worried about your cat going hungry if you can't get in home at your usual time, a little bit of kibble can hold them over.

Just wanted to contribute my perspective on the Fancy Feast Kitten Tender Turkey Feast. It consistently made my kitten throw up--was it because of the milk? Can't be sure, but I do know that none of my other offerings have ever made him throw up. I wouldn't say positive reviews are necessarily an indication of healthfulness. I didn't write a negative review because Chewy has great customer service and gave me a full refund. So I let it go and donated the food. My kitten also loved the taste of the food, and I figure a lot of other kittens do, too, which may bolster reviews.

So I have been ordering this according to your recommendations (Wellness CORE ), but to be honest I decided to buy Tiki Cat, since I trust them more.

I know All about cats did separate video about Tiki Cat, but I wonder if anyone tried these specific. Thank you!

I want to get Wellness but I can't find a video on Wellness Core dry food, or best dry kitten food in general. My kitten before me hasn't had wet food and she's just not interested, so finding a good dry good is important.

@@AllAboutCatsYT ok great I will check them out. FYI, the primal freeze dried raw gave my sweet cat an extra 1.5 years of good life when it looked like her kidneys were failing. She was basically starving away and the prescription high-carb formula the vet recommended (protein taxes kidneys so put them on a low protein formula) wasn't helping with the renal failure. Switched to this after the pet store clerk sagely asked if I wanted to follow the vet's instructions or did I want my cat to eat? Well, she started eating, she put weight back on, her fur started to be shiny again and she started grooming herself again and she thrived up until the end at 21 years of age when she finally left this plane. Our veterinarian was amazed by the rebound as this went against everything she'd been taught (and did practice for 20+ years) about how to treat kidney failure in cats. She now recommends it and shares our story when "traditional" methods arent working for her patients.

@AllAboutCatsYT

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jay, thanks for commenting. Both Wellness Complete and Instinct are valid options, but the real question is why your kitten has diarrhea. For now, I'd recommend adding a tiny bit of canned pumpkin to her Wellness Complete food and, if the diarrhea is mild, waiting to get more answers at the vet appointment on the 22nd. In the meantime, I would closely monitor your kitten's health and consider going to the vet earlier if the diarrhea is severe. Severe diarrhea can be devastating for a young kitten like yours, so it's vital to get things under control and prevent dehydration. Consider adding a probiotic like S. boulardii (proven to reduce diarrhea) and, if you suspect that she's at risk of dehydration, you can add unflavored Pedialyte to her food. For more information, here's a guide to diarrhea in kittens: www.kittenlady.org/diarrhea All in all, since you haven't yet taken her to her first vet visit, I think it's too early to say whether or not the Wellness Complete food is causing her diarrhea. Once you've established why she's having loose stool, you can decide whether or not dietary change is a solution-and which type of food will help. Hope this helps! Wishing you and your new little one all the best, Mallory

That’s fine, it is recommended by a cat nutritionist I follow to give different brands and flavours in wet food so the cat gets different sources of proteins (different flavours like chicken or turkey) and it balances out limitations each brand of food has. A disadvantage is that if your cat gets a bad reaction you won’t be sure which type/brand may have caused it, so maybe slowly implement new variations

You seem to have a much larger use of turkey for both people and cats in the US (I'm in Australia).

for the fancy feast is it just the turkey that is okay for kittens?

Hi Cassidy, I would recommend talking to a vet or veterinary nutritionist about this. From my perspective, kitten food should probably be at least 80% of your kitten's diet at this age, but I don't know the exact percentage you need. Stella & Chewy's is a very nutrient-dense adult food, so, while it's certainly not the best option as her primary food, it will satisfy some of those kittenhood requirements in a way that other adult foods wouldn't.

Hello getting my kitten in June I’m so excited! Would it be ok to feed the kitten that dry food you mentioned and the core wellness wet food?

Hi Itsel, thank you for commenting! Yes, that combination would work well. Congratulations on your new kitten, and I wish you all the best.

I got a kitten named Minnie a couple months ago. The shelter was feeding her Hills Science Diet, so I assumed that was good and continued to give it to her. Sad to see it didn’t even make the list. I guess I should consider one of these other brands instead. She eats mainly dry food, although I give her wet food on occasion. Is there anything wrong with giving her both dry and wet food?

Hi Michaela, a mix of dry and wet food can be a good step up from a dry-only diet. If possible, I would try to increase the percentage of wet food in Minnie's diet, but for now, a mix should be acceptable.

Hope I’m not too late to ask, but what’s your thoughts on the brands like Feringa, Wild Freedom, Catz Finefood and MAC’s? I’m getting a kitten in February, I think I’m gonna name him Chiaro! :)

How would you compare Nulo MedalSeries Cat & Kitten Food - Grain Free, Turkey & Cod to the top dry food pick you hadfor kittens? I don't plan on having a dry diet but when I am out for the day it's easier for me to leave a bowl of dry food out until I come back.

That's a great option as far as dry foods are concerned! I'd say that it's on par with the Simply Nourish food, if not a little bit better.

What do you recommend for 5month kitten with hairballs? Shes mostly wet food with the option of dry food and always has water... any recomendations?

@AllAboutCatsYT

Hey Bridgette, that's a tough call. Frequent hairballs can be indicative of digestive issues, so I'd talk to a veterinarian before making a decision. Otherwise, you may want to mix some pumpkin into your kitten's food-it can help a lot with hairballs.

Hello! I haven't had anyone be able to answer this question for me, so I'm hoping that you can. I will be getting my first kitten soon, and they'll be on a wet food only diet. For my dog, I buy wet food to mix into his dry and both the brand and flavor varies depending on what's on sale that day. Do cats need to be on one brand/formula only, or is it okay to feed different brands/formulas per day? So say I get a few cans of Wellness Core on sale, but I typically feed Fancy Feast. Can I feed one in the morning and one at night? This is all theoretical but it's good info to know i think. I try my best to buy economically

Im no expert in the subject and based on what I've read and my personal experience with my 2 kittens i recommend that you stick to one brand or mixture of brands. Their digestive system is sooo sensitive and if you switch the food of all of a sudden they can have really bad diarrhea. Of course every cat is different and you'll have to find out what works for them. Good luck!

Hey Ashe, thanks for the question! I'm not a veterinarian, but from what I've gathered, cats run into issues with switching brands because they've been on the same food for a very long time. Their bodies become accustomed to the familiar food and then transitioning becomes difficult. If your cat is accustomed to variety, there shouldn't be anything wrong with feeding your cat a mix of Wellness Core and Fancy Feast...or any other combination of proteins, brands, textures, and formulations.

Is it okay to mix wet food for "All stages of life" with dry kitten food? I do plan on eventually putting the 2 kittens I'm about to adopt on just wet food diets, but I'm trying to move and have to buy a lot of things, and I don't want them to just eat dry cat food and thought if I did that they'd eat the dry food if I ran out of wet food, but wouldn't be so picky and only eat dry food

I did do some research regarding if it was okay feeding your kitten different brands as long as they are pretty similar in ingredients, but my question is if it’s okay to feed all these brands you recommended to my kittens diet?

Yes! Getting your kitten accustomed to dietary variety is a good idea, plus spreading out your cat's diet across multiple brands can help to prepare them for a recall or discontinuation.
