Cat's can't digest wet food

I've tried multiple brands even G/I specific and my two kittens just keep getting diarrhea. They are perfectly fine on dry food but I'd like to feed them wet food as well as it's healthier. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried mixing wet and dry food? I used to mix dry into wet and my cats did ok with that. That was many years ago.

You can also start by feeding very small amounts of wet and leaving dry out for them to graze on. I'm trying to transition my girls to a higher proportion of wet food. They get wet food three times a day and still have dry during the day. I'm slowly increasing the portion size, and they are eating less dry food

I haven't tried mixing no. That's a good idea! I'm not home during the day so can't feed them wet food 3x a day. I did try to feed them little amounts of wet G/I food at first and still, diarrhea. I'll try the dry food mixing and see if that works. Thanks!

Diarrhea is tricky. Sometimes it's a food allergy, and it can be a challenge to figure out exactly what ingedients your cats are sensitive to.

There are lots of threads about poasible food allergies and diarrhea in the Nutrition forum, and you may want to browse or create a new thread there to get opinions from members with more experience with food issues

Kitten simply have sensitive digestive systems and get diarrhea easily. Wet food isn't the issue, the issue is transition. Feed the best quality food you can afford with the least amount of fillers. Consider using s boulardii, which is a probiotic that treats diarrhea, during the transition.
