A quick site search on Google yielded this thread about Simply Nourish, but I thought I'd call out that I picked up the kitten formula at Petsmart tonight. The boys are on Blue kitten formula (regular, not grain-free), and this is a bit cheaper, and weirdly seems to have fewer ingredients. Still no corn, soy, or wheat, and no by-products either.
The kittens eat mostly wet food, about 4-5oz per day each now, but they nibble on kibble (
!!!) during the day and overnight, so while this isn't a primary source of calories or nutrients, I still want it to be a quality food.
Here's the ingredient list/analysis for the kitten formula:
Look okay? I started mixing it in, about 25% I guess, at the evening meal, but I can still take it back to Petsmart.
Has anyone given it a try? From the other thread I understand it's not available everywhere just yet. Simply Nourish is a Petsmart-exclusive brand I believe, and also makes a limited-ingredient canned food.
