The best wet foods for kittens

Wet food is the best solution for babies. Unlike a dry diet, canned food can be used as the first complementary food for kittens from four weeks of age. In this case, it is recommended to pay special attention to pates, mousses and soufflés of full premium or super-premium class. Their texture allows babies to quickly and easily learn to feed themselves. For kittens over two months old, not only creamy foods are suitable, but also pieces in jelly or broth.

Many wet foods are a complete diet that does not require any supplements. At the same time, they are easily digestible and suitable for everyone, including kittens, who drink relatively little water.

The best dry food for kittens

Dry food is rich in vitamins and microelements. Their composition is much more diverse than the composition of canned food. Often, in addition to meat components, representatives of this category contain healthy vegetables, fruits, herbs, and sometimes berries. Thus, the best dry food provides your cat with everything it would receive in its natural environment.

However, they are not suitable for everyone. Despite the availability of lines for the smallest, veterinarians do not recommend giving dry food in its pure form until at least three and a half months, because a kitten’s stomach at such an early age can be injured by hard food. An older kitten should be switched to this food carefully, gradually adding it to canned food or soaking it in water.

Reviews

Elena, owner of a Persian cat: “My Thomson is already 7 years old. He is a castrato. We experimented with food for a long time, choosing the right one. As a result, he developed a food allergy to chicken meat. The doctor recommended that we switch to Orijen Regional Red.

I was surprised by the composition. The formula contains several types of meat: beef, lamb, wild boar, bison, pork. In addition to meat, offal and fish of three types are included. Plus vegetables, herbs, seaweed and berries. The result appeared within a month - the cat’s dandruff disappeared and he began to itch less. After 1.5 months, the appearance of the fur changed, it began to shine.”

Andrey Zakharovich, veterinarian: “After the sterilization operation, I advise my clients to switch to Orijen Cat Fit & Trim Grain Free food, which helps control the pet’s weight. By the way, we recommend this same brand for obese cats. It has more protein and less fat.

The food consists of almost only meat and fish. The only thing I always warn about is that this diet may not be suitable for allergic cats and animals with food intolerance. There are too many different sources of protein in it.”

Anton Dmitrievich, veterinarian: “This is the first domestic food that I confidently recommend to my visitors. Yes, it is slightly inferior to elite foreign brands from Canada and the USA, but its cost and availability justifies everything.

Pets who eat Optimeal are often brought to me, and I can observe how they change. All cats who receive this food look great, they are in good physical shape, without obesity or malnutrition.”

Reviews

Anton, owner of the Sphynx: “My cat is already an old man. I was looking for a brand of diet for senior pets and found British grain-free food Applaws Senior Cat Chicken. The formula is based on chicken and vegetables. Chicken makes up 80%. I think this is an excellent indicator!

It does not contain grains; sweet potatoes are used as carbohydrates, but there is very little of it (6%). For that kind of money, the composition is excellent!”

Valentina Romanovna, veterinarian: “In Ukraine, this brand is not very common because of the difficulty of purchasing it. However, some of my clients say that they order food through online stores.

Reviews

Valeria, owner of a Maine Coon: “When we first took Marcel into the house, the veterinarian advised us to introduce him to healthy holistic-grade food. We chose the Grandorf brand with white fish. Why this one? Firstly, the food is made from high-quality raw materials that can be eaten by humans. Of course, we didn’t try the granules ourselves.

Secondly, it does not contain grain, soy and gluten - which means it is healthy and there is an unlikely risk of allergies to food components. Now about the result - the kitten is growing by leaps and bounds. Well-fed, cheerful, satisfied. Wool is the envy of everyone. The tail is a sight for sore eyes. This brand is probably right for us.”

Anastasia Viktorovna, veterinarian: “Grandorf food is produced in Europe. This is an indicator of quality. I recommend this company's grain-free brand to my clients along with market leaders in holistic foods: ACANA and ORIJEN. Grandorf is cheaper, but does not differ very much from more expensive brands in composition and quality characteristics.”

Reviews

Regina, owner of a Siamese kitten: “When I decided to switch the kitten to holistic food, I came across a pack of interesting design. Maine Coon kittens or small lynx cubs were drawn on it. It was Carnilove brand food with salmon and turkey.

I liked the granules - they do not have a strong smell and are the optimal size for a kitten. The kitten did not immediately begin to eat. They say that this happens when you switch to “holistic” pets who are already accustomed to cheap brands with flavors and taste enhancers.”

Anton Vyacheslavovich: “When cat owners contact me who are worried about the pet swallowing its own fur, I recommend special food and malt pastes. Carnilove Cat Duck & Pheasant Hairball Control is one such food.

If you constantly feed your pet this food, the animal’s stomach and intestines will spontaneously cleanse themselves. This composition is especially suitable for long-haired breeds during the shedding season.”

Reviews

Rodion: “I have a cat from a shelter, a noble noble breed. When I first got her, she ate everything. Then I got used to the fact that there was always food and became picky. He loves canned food from jars as a treat. Pauchi doesn't really like it. I offered her different brands until I settled on Baskerville products.

My cat and I love that the company makes so many different flavors. You can always try something new. There is a lot of meat in canned food. There's just meat, broth and jelly. No grains or other additives. For this I give the brand a solid A.”

Nina Sergeevna, veterinarian: “The line of grain-free food from this company from Germany is represented by only one diet. All other foods contain grains. Therefore, I always tell my clients to carefully read both the name of the food and its detailed composition.

Of course, grain-free formula is better for cats. I always recommend grain-free menus. Cats don't need grain! Producers put grain in to save money.”

Nutram

The Canadian company's grain-free line for cats is represented by the Nutram Total Grain Free brand, which is available in two flavors: “Salmon and Trout”, “Turkey, Chicken and Duck”.

Reviews

Olesya, owner of a British cat: “I accidentally saw this food in our store. I was attracted by its price. Canadian production and grain-free composition inspired confidence. My cat didn’t eat right away. For some reason she didn’t like him, she had to accustom him gradually.

Over time, she got used to it and now we only eat Nutram Total Grain Free. The disadvantages of the brand include very thin packaging and the absence of an internal reflective coating. I think that the food may deteriorate from the penetrating light, so I pour it into an airtight iron jar.”

Vasily Nikolaevich, veterinarian: “When they ask me for advice about this brand of food, I don’t dissuade clients. The food is good. Of course, it would be a stretch to call it a full-fledged holistic remedy, but there are no harmful ingredients in it.

Most animals tolerate it well. No one has contacted me personally with an allergy to this brand. There is an opportunity to buy more expensive food - buy it. No – this is also a good option for feeding.”

Comparison table of characteristics

The table below presents the main characteristics of the products in question. By comparing them with each other, it will be much easier for you to navigate the variety of assortments and choose the right food for your pet.

Brit Care

The food from the Czech manufacturer has a balanced composition. It contains enough hypoallergenic components that allow us to recommend it for inclusion in the diet of the most fastidious cats, representatives of exotic breeds, some of which cannot tolerate the presence of beef or chicken. The basis of the composition is 50% natural pieces of meat or fish in jelly. In addition, the composition contains a varied complex of vitamins and minerals. Available in packs and canned food. The line has a wide variety of different flavors. The healthy fats and minerals included in the composition have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract of a small pet and allow it to grow into a healthy adult animal with strong immunity, healthy skin and shiny, beautiful coat.

ADVANTAGES: Hypoallergenic, free of thickeners, flavors, synthetics and dyes. Contains only natural ingredients. Used as the main diet.

DISADVANTAGES: Quite a high price due to the presence of high-quality components.

What and how often to feed a kitten

The first question that comes to the mind of kitten owners is what to feed the baby. If a small animal has been fed its mother's milk, from the first days of being in a new home you should not offer it food intended for adult cats.

The smallest kittens need to be fed from a pacifier, as they do not yet know how to feed themselves.

The smallest kittens (at least up to 1 month) need nutrition similar in properties to cat milk. There are special cat milk substitutes. Such complementary foods should be given up to 8 times a day (depending on the weight and general condition of the baby). To feed newborn kittens with this mixture, you will need a syringe (10 ml) without a needle or a small bottle with a nipple (can be bought at a pet pharmacy).

Gradually, the number of feedings can be reduced to 6 times a day. At the same time, the food should become a little harder. Many owners begin to introduce fermented milk products, meat purees, etc. into the kitten’s diet at one month of age.

In 2–3 months, the diet should be fully formed. It is recommended to reduce the number of feedings to 4–5 by the end of the third month. It is important that the baby’s diet is properly balanced. Kittens can be gradually introduced to ready-made food (specially formulated for babies) or natural food. With natural feeding, the diet can be made up of the same products that an adult cat eats. There are only 2 exceptions:

• Kittens up to 4 months can still be given cow's or goat's milk (diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio). In older kittens, milk is no longer digestible due to lactose intolerance (but lactose-free formulas can be found).
• The number of feedings should be reduced without reducing the energy value of the food (a growing body needs a lot of energy).

By the end of the third month, the kitten’s diet should already be formed.

I know a family where the cat produces 3-4 fluffies every year. The kittens in this family are taught to eat “from the table” from birth. The head of the family believes that natural food is the same as the food that people eat. At the same time, the kittens are fed as if “for slaughter.” But in fact, you can’t overfeed babies, especially with this kind of food. After all, a kitten’s body is not designed to digest many foods. Besides, being overweight wasn't doing anyone any good. As the cat grows up, it will begin to experience health problems (diabetes mellitus, urolithiasis, metabolic disorders, etc.).

Royal Canin

The Royal Canin brand is known and in demand among Russian buyers. The food of this brand is well-balanced and designed taking into account the age and physiological characteristics of small animals. Promotes better digestion, is well absorbed, improves immunity. The composition includes vitamins B, C and E, prebiotics, folic acid, lutein, fish oil for normal growth and formation of skeletal bones and muscle mass. There is also taurine, which is responsible for vision and helps to fully form the brain. The Mother&BabyCat series is an excellent replacement for mother's milk. Refusal from it occurs softly and painlessly. The food is suitable for pregnant and lactating cats.

Contains: dehydrated poultry protein, rice, corn flour, vegetable fiber, animal fats, yeast. There is also beet pulp, soybean oil, fructooligosaccharides, marigold extract, and minerals. Packaging: 400 g, 2 kg, 4 kg and 10 kg.

ADVANTAGES: The food perfectly normalizes the functioning of the digestive system. It has good digestibility. Contains high nutrient content.

DISADVANTAGES: None found.
