My kitten is extremely gassy. She farts probably hundreds of times a day and they are pretty powerful. Naturally I want to get her to stop. I feel her Iams dry kitten food and she's been dewormed. She is 14 weeks old. Any suggestions?
Regular science diet is about the same in quality as Iams is. Their veterinary diets are good - but only because they do what they're supposed to.Originally Posted by breadsticks
Is Hill's Science Diet good?
I agree. I've never had any under 6 mos, but I know that kittens especially do much better with small, frequent meals, rather than large ones because they are very hungry and tend to eat too much, too fast - which can cause gas and odorous pooping. As the kitten matures, gets used to the routine, and understands he'll get fed no matter what, this will stop...Originally Posted by BreaMarie
I second the suggestion to order online if you can- I have my cats on Taste of the Wild- it's the cheapest grain free option that I've been able to find. I bet if you emailed the company, they'd be willing to send you a sample so you can see if your kitten will eat it.
I'd definitely do the worm testing if I were you. Though, my cat was very gassy as a kitten. At the shelter, I picked him up, he started purring, and then farted. He did it several times on the way home too, and for the next few months. He grew out of it, though, and never does it anymore, so I think maybe their digestive tracts just need to mature a bit. Baby humans tend to have troubles with gas themselves, lol.
Awesome, I'll transition her to that food and see how it goesOriginally Posted by strange_wings
Go check the store out. It looks like they may carry Blue buffalo and do carry Nutro. Most cats tend to like Blue's spa select can food.
It is great store !!!Originally Posted by breadsticks
