I adopted a very sick kitten when he was only a few weeks old and nursed him back from a shocking URI. Because of that and his hydration he was always on wet food. He has recovered and been stable for a few months and gained all the weight he needed (he was originally 300g at a few weeks old when i got him) and is now about 4kg at 7 or so months.
Since I'm a university student I was just feeding him what was recommended on Whiskers (sorry you may not know the brands I'm from Australia), and soon realised this was way WAY too much - 2 to 3 packets of wet + 3/4 cup of dry.
When I went to switch him to premium dry food I realised that they recommended 3/4 of a cup daily with no wet food. I still want to feed him a bit of wet food because I think it gets him hydrated well - especially because of flare ups from the URI.
I purchased him Purina pro plan for kittens. I was wondering if royal canin is better than this, or advance. Or another brand that they stock in Australia.
Also what is the best type of wet food he should be having. I know Whiskers wouldn't be the best because its just from the supermarket. What about Dine?
Hope you guys know what I'm talking about. I don't seem to know any of the brands talked about on previous posts
