Purina Kitten Chow?

Just my humble opinion....It's usually better to get a female cat spayed before she goes into her first heat. Some studies say that cats spayed after their first heat have a seven times greater chance of suffering from mammary cancer than cats spayed prior to their first heat.
Most cats go into heat between 4-7 months of age.

well i made it to petsmart today and looked at all the ingredients there, i was a bit rushed so i may have missed some. anyway, the best ones i saw were purina one for kittens and authority for kittens. the worst by far where whiskas and friskies, those should not even be on the shelf in my opinion. nutro looked OK but definately will not be my first choice. i didnt see any blue buffalo, but im thinking i must have just missed it cause i know they carry it for dogs. i also didnt see any canned purina one.

Authority is decent on a budget .. I put it with Nutro max ... one has corn one has wheat .,.. Blue is so grainy I put it with these too
One is not as good as the two others ...
Nutros natural choice is better ...

i think the natural choice is the one i saw in petsmart, its first ingredient is meat but then it goes on to grains, if im remembering correctly. the reason i like purina one is that its first TWO ingredients are meat. authority's first ingredient is meat, followed by grains, but has another meat source still high in the list.

Yes ... the Nutro kitten is a basic one meat one grain ... chn and rice ...
it makes it easier one tummys...
One has by products low meat quality and chicken is mainly h2o so low meat over one with meal ...

Sure///
By products are not as digestable and thus they are a lower quality protein source..
Chicken on a label is raw and is up to 66% water ... It takes 5 lbs of chicken to get one lb of chn meal .. Hope that is a bit clearer

ok i see what you were saying now, so chicken meal is preferable to chicken? interesting. in the dog world, the common thought is the other way around. i see your reasoning behind it though.

i was in walmart today and saw a brand called maximum nutrition that looked better than all of the ones we ve discussed so far. and its a good price too. ive looked up online and its gotten a lot of very good reviews. i still have an almost full bag of the purina but i when it starts to get low im going to start the gradual switch.
Mine are on Maximum Nutrition and I LOVE it. They have several diff formulas and flavors. And the price is wonderful! It is by far better than Purina Kitten Chow!

Maxium is better than most but the digest and low fatty acid leval and the fact it runs about as much as far better foods made me keep looking...
Look at Natural life in walmart it has excellent canned yet not quite as pricey as pet store brands ....
