I am sure you guys see this question frequently so I apologize for that, but I could really use some advice on my kitten Boone's diet.
I am unsure of Boone's exact age but the vets guess is that he is anywhere between 6 and 7 weeks old. I found him on the highway about two weeks ago now and have been doing my best to give him the best care possible.. But I still have a lot to learn.
When he saw the vet she recommended feeding him as much wet food as he could eat 3-4 times a day. I asked her what brand she recommended and said it didn't matter as long as it said it was for kittens on the package.
I picked up some royal canin babycat instinctive cans and a bag of blue buffalo "blue healthy growth kitten chicken and brown rice recipe". He has always had a bowl of the kibble, and gets the canned food 3-4 times a day as the vet recommended.
However after doing a little research I've found that grains are not healthy for cats? So I've bought a bag of blue buffalo 'blue wilderness chicken recipe for kittens" kibble and cans.
This is what if says on the blue wilderness food:
Delicious, protein-rich, Deboned Chicken
Sweet potatoes that provide healthy complex carbohydrates
Cranberries, blueberries and carrots that support antioxidant enrichment
NO grains or glutens
NO chicken (or poultry) by-product meals
NO artificial preservatives and NO corn, wheat or soy
For now I am rotating between the blue wilderness cans and the royal canin cans. I'm also rotating the two types of kibble until it is gone and then I will continue buying the blue wilderness food.
What do you think?
