First, I've just joined the forum and I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed already.
I have two 12-week-old kittens that have been eating Purina ProPlan kitten food dry and various brands of wetfood. I was concered about the meat by- product and grain content of these products and recently switched to Orijen and Wellness Core dry and Wellness wet.
Last week, I started to give them some Healthy Paws raw food. One of the kittens, Coco, likes it and she won't even touch the dry food anymore.

My only concern now is that how safe this raw food in terms of nutrition and quality is. And if my kittens like wet and raw only, do they have to eat the kibbles at all?

My vet recomments Science Diet but I think it's because she sells them. Everyone has a different opinion and I'm so confused.

Raw CAN be done safely... by your vet s SD recommendation I suggest finding a like minded vet as unless she has a open mind shell tell you NO NO to Raw ... I have done raw with CHRONIC illness animals with success but only WITH my vets help
