All advice welcome
Our new boy Monty is 4mos old so certainly still in the 'kitten' category. We were sent home with a bag of the Hills Science Diet Kitten kibble that they were feeding at the shelter. That's all fine for now until we can decide on what wet food to migrate him over to.
Si is 17mos and a chow hound. I have rotated everything from Meow Mix (chicken, sometimes tuna) wet, to Fancy Feast pate and, recently started purchasing the on sale canned versions of higher end wet foods just to keep it interesting for Si. Since we travel, we're not always near a Petco or Petsmart to find better foods than Fancy Feast. We primarily order online, in bulk, and I was about to place a new order, so I am curious as to whether - at 4mos old - it's too soon to migrate Monty over to a better wet brand of adult cat food.
I've been reading (read overthinking) as much as I could and think that in the quality vs. price realm .. the Nature's Variety Instinct line or the Wellness Core line of wet foods are well within our budget even feeding two. My dilema was that Wellness Core does have a kitten formula whereas Nature's Variety does not.
Is it better for overall health and development to keep Monty on a good, wet "kitten" formula versus moving up to big boy food?
