Just curious I was told to buy this for my kittens who will be 5wks ol Monday and I was wondering if it is a good quality brand for them?

if the picture isnt working the food is Royal Canin Baby Cat Kitten food


Also sorry to add another ? to this thread but I have a male cat who is rather large
Tigger



I was wondering what a good brand of adult cat food is...Price is not important...as I buy only the best for them!

Well, the pictures aren't showing. So, what's the food your speaking of?

Its showing Royal Canin Babycat34

the pictures werent working because I changed the photobucket links that they were in and moved them to a differnt folder I never realized that it would stop my pix from working I fixed it and it should be working now

Yeah… the link is showing up perfectly fine now.
It looks to be of good quality. Although it would be preferable for some of those grains (Wheat Gluten, Corn) to be left-out. And here’s the ingredient list for someone who can give a proper analysis:

Chicken meal, rice, brown rice, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid), wheat gluten, corn, chicken, natural chicken flavor, dried egg powder, beet pulp (sugar removed), sodium silico aluminate, salmon oil, cellulose, pea fiber, soya oil, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, potassium citrate, sodium tripolyphosphate, choline chloride, brewers yeast extract (Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation solubles), taurine*, L-carnitine, Vitamins [dl-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), inositol, niacin, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C*), d-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, green tea extract, L-tyrosine, marigold extract.

I am by no means a food expert but the fact that there is only one meat listed first then 2 kinds of rice, then wheat gluten and corn, then chicken, and natural chicken flavor does look great. But it does look ok. At least there is no by products. What is the price range you are looking for?

Chicken meal, rice, brown ricewhy both right next to each other??, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid)rosemary can cause tummy upset , wheat gluten, cornMakes it less digestable and more than 1 meat to 1.5 grains, chicken,actually falls another five or so ingrediants due to cooking.. natural chicken flavor, dried egg powder, beet pulp (sugar removed), sodium silico aluminate, salmon oil, cellulosethis is a non digestable fiber and if not stated can be saw dust , pea fiber, soya oil, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, potassium citrate, sodium tripolyphosphate, choline chloride, brewers yeast extract (Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation solubles), taurine*, L-carnitine, Vitamins [dl-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), inositol, niacin, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C*), d-calcium pantothenate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement], Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, green tea extract, L-tyrosine, marigold extract.[/quote]


I know many who use it and overall it is a good formula ... I think great for young kittens just starting to eat since it is very small and easily moistened but there are IMHO far better avail for the $$ when they are a bit older

While I am not crazy about the ingredients, I use it for all my tiny foster kittens, because it is very small, and easy for them to chew. Once they get a little bigger, I switch them off too something of better quality.

I have used the Royal Canin foods in the past, the babycat, kitten and then indoor adult..

The girls didn't do poorly on it or anything but i eventually discontinued it because as sharky said, i found for the price i could get better foods that had less grains and more meat.

What would be a better dry food? Any opinions
