I feel like I'm becoming post crazy :lol3: the joys of being a new kitten owner! 
I'm (obviously) new to all this lol. I started -Jessie was about 15 wks when we got her- with giving her canned at least morning & night, and allowing her to to eat as much kibble as she really wanted. Upon much reading, she has now tried several different canned flavours/brands, freeze dried raw (primal/stella & chewys),dehydrated raw (vintage-a brand no one seems to know?), and as of today raw(which she loved)! It's been probably almost a week since she's had any kibble.
She was in for her boosters Friday, and the vet says she's an ideal weight..must be doing something right haha :lol3:
I was just curious, if anyone rotates a canned/freeze dried/dehydrated/raw diet, and how you go about it?
For instance with Jessie... she gets a 5.5 Oz of canned a day (usually morning and night) on the weekend, she's got S&C for "brunch" and primal for "lunch"
Today she got 1/2 her canned in the morning as well has about 1/8lb "snack" of her raw before I went to work..generally she doesn't get a prework snack - but I was curious about her reaction towards raw. When I got home she got the remaining 1/8lb of raw, and about 1/4 of the remaining canned bc she was basically asking for it. She will most likely get an evening snack, the remaining 1/4 can.
Who knows what tmo will bring... probably her canned a.m., primal freeze dried for lunch and some Raw for dinner...
Is this too much "rotation"? It doesn't seem to be having any effect on her. There was only 1 morning there was a bit of vomit (looked loke possibly the dehydrated) which she had the afternoon before? It may have just been over eating..as I try not to really limit how much she eats just yet, she just gets smaller portions 3 or 4 times per day..so maybe the portion of dehydrated was just too much?
Once I'm out of the freeze dried Primal, which will be a few days, I'll probably just let her finish her canned and raw, and work through the rest of the dehydrated until finished.. once it is, I'll be looking to stick to just raw, or a mix of canned and raw.
How many people rotate raw brands? I know protein rotating is common, but brands?
Sorry this ended up so long!!!! I do hope it makes some sense...and look forward to hearing what others are doing
