Royal Canin Solid Baby Food - Should I Try It?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
...anyone feed the solid extra-tiny kibble food to 4 - 5 week olds?

My "shy to eat" male is always trying to eat the clay litter pellets. He won't take soft food from a saucer, but seems okay with trying to eat the pellets from the litter pan.

I got a bag of the Royal Canin baby food, but I'm hesitant. His coordination isn't 100% and I worry about choking. When he eats the soft food from my hand, he's still "sucking" it up.

But, since he's really interested in the hard clay litter pellets, I think he may be more inclined to eat a hard food.

He has his "milk teeth"... trust me, I have the scars on my fingers to prove it.

I've always had really good experiences with Royal Canin Baby Kat kibble. It is meant for kittens, so even if the kittens don't chew (and many times, they don't) the little bit size pieces are made just for their little mouth and throats. My fosters have always loved that stuff. Its expensive, but well worth it, especially when you are taking care of kittens that maybe didn't have the best start in life and need that extra boost. High quality food cannot be underestimated.

Also, I have noticed that it helps calm down their stomachs if you are having any loose stool issues; although, the best thing for that is feeding raw, which I don't know a lot about but I think I am going to start to educate myself on that. Good luck!
