Alright, so I'm attempting to be more nutritiously conscious with my babies. They get 1/2 a can of Authority Kitten 2-3 time a day. For a free feeding dry, they have been getting Purina Kitten Chow. Today, I noticed that there is a Purina One Healthy Kitten formula in the store. Beside being a little more expensive, is there a huge difference?
