My kittens are currently eating Purina kitten chow and sometimes Friskies wet food mixed in.What are some good brands I could look into???

How is Royal Canin? I used to add abit of RC dry dog food in my rat food for pregnant/nursing does...but what is the kitty food like? Also are there any good foods that can prevent UTI's?

I think there is a brand of catfood out that for urinary health or something. As for goood brands, my cat is doing ok on Iams healthy naturals, but then again, she's a picky eater...

Royal Canin is an excellent dry food, I would choose that over Purina. Nutro Max dry foods are supposed to be good for UTI prevention.

What is your budget like for wet food?

I think there are better dry foods than Royal Canin. I give mine a couple kibbles of Royal Canin now and again as treats, but wouldn't feed it as their main food.

Royal canin is a premium food ... but many on here will say there are far better...

for UTI health wet is best....

Nutro max is formulated for uti health ... thou do to a formula change it cannot claim UTI health for a bit more time .... the testing goes 18-24 months and is overseen by the FDA ... AFFCO feeding trials are 6 months


Right now ONLY purina one and pro plan urinary formulas have the certification

I could spend like over $30-$40 on wet food.I been doing some research and learned that wet is better then dry.Growing up,we always learned/thought dry was better.

I am also hearing mixed info on Royal Canin now...

I would look into Felidae, wellness, innova, merrick, for canned food. They is a great market for high quality canned food out there (same with dry)

I'm no vet, or even an expert, but I have to say that a combination of wet and dry seems to work the best, providing best urinary health and tooth health.
