I usually just browse through the forums so I thought I'd post something.

I actually had a question regarding feeding kitties.

I am getting a handsome Ragdoll kitten from a breeder very very soon, and I know that my breeder feeds her kittens just Royal Canin dry. After doing tons of research, I have learned that straight dry food really isn't good for our furballs. I have also read it is recommended to keep the kitten on the food the breeder has been feeding for the first few months, to not cause any more stress after being in a new environment. Since it's just dry food that she feeds, would it be okay if I started feeding the kitten wet food right after after I get him? or would it just be wise to just keep him on dry food and NOT feed any wet for the first little while. 

Thanks for the help! :)

I would keep the kitten on the dry food for at least a week to prevent any tummy issues caused by stress. Then you can start to introduce canned food. Eventually you want to get rid of all dry food if at all possible.
