Hey, my kitten is about 1-2 months old and I've been feeding it wet can food morning at night so that means that it consumes an entire can a day. Should I leave dry food out in case it gets hungry or keep it up?

Feed kittens as much food as they want. Leave dry food out all day, and feed some wet food morning and night as they want it. Use a really good qaulity kitten food

If you are letting the canned food sit out all day, then its too long to be left. Try putting out some dry kitten food (Royal Canin Baby Cat would be good). And offer the canned food 3 or 4 times a day - maybe about 2-3 teaspoons at a time. Kittens can't eat a lot at a time.

If the kitten is only 4-8 weeks old, it still should be nursing from mom. They are not weaned till 8-10 weeks old and don't eat very much solid food till 6-8 weeks old. How old is this kitten? There is a BIG difference between a one month old kitten and a two month old kitten
