Question 1

What are the benefits of feeding kittens wet food?

Accepted Answer

The benefits of feeding kittens wet food include increased hydration, easier digestion and, in some cases, superior nutrition. Pate-style wet kitten foods in particular tend to have higher levels of protein and fewer carbohydrates, and they can be easier to digest and absorb than dry kitten kibble foods. Young kittens in particular can benefit from eating wet kitten foods, as they may not be able to chew and digest dry kitten food yet. Your vet can advise you on the best foods to feed your kitten and tell you whether a wet food-only diet or a mix of foods might be best.

Question 2

How much wet food should I feed my kitten?

Accepted Answer

You should feed your kitten enough wet food to meet her daily caloric needs. The amount required will vary with your kitten's age, weight, activity level and metabolism, and it will also depend on the specific food, or foods, including dry kitten food, you feed. Consult the feeding chart on the wet kitten food you are feeding for recommended amounts by weight and age. Your vet can also provide guidance on how much and how frequently to feed your kitten.

Question 3

When can I start feeding canned food to my kitten?

Accepted Answer

You can start feeding canned food to your kitten at age 3-4 weeks, or whenever your kitten is fully weaned. Kittens younger than that should still be breastfeeding or eating kitten milk replacer until they are old enough to transition to solid foods. You may need to transition your kitten gradually by mixing milk replacer or water in with the canned kitten food at first, until your kitten gets used to eating the new food.

Question 4

What are the best wet kitten foods?

Accepted Answer

The best wet kitten foods are high in protein, complete and balanced, and highly palatable for your little furry friend. The best canned kitten foods start with high-quality meat protein and contain few to no fillers or artificial ingredients. They should be easy to digest and not too high in carbohydrates, so beware of some gravy-style kitten foods that may be packed with less-healthy carbs. Pate-style wet kitten foods are usually the best; experiment with different formulas, brands and flavors and see which ones your kitten responds to best.
