Ok guys I need some advice. I am running out of food to feed my kitten.

I did set out to try raw food but honestly its too expensive so im sticking with dry + wet food.

My kitten totally refuses to eat Science Diet (used to give him that). He is currently on feline caviar (dry) and Applaws (wet). After he started on feline caviar, i noticed that he sheds a lot now. My vet said that its a sign to look for whether the food goes with him.

I thought of changing to Royal Canin but in my country, they are not importing the ones made in USA anymore. Its now made in China. And i haven't heard good reviews about the China made food.

Im currently running out of options as my kitten is EXTREMELY fussy and would rather starve than eat what he doesn't like.

He totally loves Applaws but they only sell the canned ones and they are only complimentary food.

So im down to the choices mentioned: Purina Pro Plan,Smartheart, Fancy Feast, Iams, Pro Diet, Fish 4 Cats, Nutri Edge, Natural Balance & Taste of the wild. 

Orijen is just too expensive.

These are the ones that are available in my country. Ordering online is quite impossible because so far all the websites i have been to do not deliver to my country.

Any review is very much appreciated.

My extremely picky eaters like Natural Balance wet food.  (I don't feed dry).   Also, if you feed canned Fancy Feast, and stick to the Pate's, that's a pretty decent food
.  I don't know what they are called in your country, because I don't know what country you are in, but here in the U. S., they are called Fancy Feast CLASSICS.

Natural balance ultra dry and canned are winners. Just ask my 18 year old cats
Thank you for the suggestion! The ones i think we have here is the Natural Balance Ultra Premium.. Is that the same?

I dont really have a choice but to feed him dry food. The wet stuff are way too expensive and he basically hates fish and only eats chicken & duck. Im from Malaysia by the way so we don't really have the vast & affordable options that would normally be available in US or Europe. 

Im looking for dry food as i already feed my cat Applaws canned food which he loves. If he had it his way he would be having that and ONLY that. lol. But its just too expensive and it is just a complementary food. Listed in the titles are the brands available here that is within my budget..and since this is my first ever cat, im not so sure which one to get, plus him being soooo fussy doesn't help. Feels like everytime i find something for him that i think is good, he turns his nose at it and he can be really really stubborn. When he was on Science Plan/ Diet he would not eat for the whole day till he gets his canned Applaws food. So im kinda running out of options.
