Top 7 Best Kitten Foods (We Tested Them All)
Переглядів 138,451
День томуLike your kitten, the best kitten food packs plenty of energy in a small package. It’s calorie-dense, rich in protein, and loaded with omega-3s to support brain and eye development. But not every food marketed for kittens is worthy of your baby’s bowl.
In this video, you'll learn about the essentials of kitten nutrition and our top 7 recommendations. We independently purchased and tested these products and are not sponsored by any of the brands mentioned in this video.

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 роки тому
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 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 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.

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!

hello! could I get your input on royal canin kitten wet food? Would you compare it to any of the canned foods you covered?
@AllAboutCatsYT 4 роки тому
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

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.

I watched this video after I bought my 4 week kitten wet food. She was a socialized feral kitten given to me by my neighbor. She has her first vet appointment next wednesday the 22nd. I have been feeding her Wellness Complete but I think its been giving her diarrhea. I've considered switching to Instinct as it contains pumkin which is good for fiber. In the mean time i'm going to buy some canned pumkin at the store to see if this will balance her UI tract. Do you recommend I switch her to this?
@AllAboutCatsYT 4 роки тому
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

@AllAboutCatsYT 3 роки тому
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.

Hi Karen, we do plan to make a video on Royal Canin soon, but for now, you might like our review of www.wwwallaboutcats.com/royal-canin-cat-food-review As for their wet kitten food specifically, it's 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.

@@AllAboutCatsYT Thank you so much for your response. The toughest part is cats will only eat what they like I have tried the best of the best cat food I could possibly find and doing lots of research and through all of it, my 4 yr old will only eat Fancy Feast classic.

Hey Ivan, you're not alone! A lot of people are wondering if Royal Canin kitten food is a good choice. Here's what I said to another commenter a few months ago: 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.

Does anyone know if it’s okay to use two different brands at the same time? Like if I gave my kitten one brand if the morning and another one in the evening would that have a negative effect?? I just adopted my kitten she’s 3 months right now she’s eating the fancy feast kitten food but I would like her to have the wellness core as well
@MaLifeIsARevolver 3 роки тому
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

What are your thoughts on using Dr. Elsey's Cleanprotein Formula Dry Cat Food versus Simply Nourish? Their website says that Dr. Elsey's cat food is a universal product that can be used for all life stages, you just double the amount for kittens.
@AllAboutCatsYT 3 роки тому
Go for it! Yes, it'll be more expensive. But nutritionally, it's probably a better option than the Simply Nourish.
@morteparla6926 3 роки тому
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.

Do you think the other flavors of the kitten fancy feast wet food is as appropriate as the turkey feast, or is the turkey feast the only one worth buying? Thanks.
