Hello. I desperately need some help. I have a six month old kitten who has become a very picky eater. The vet told me to feed her something that does not have chicken in it. As you may know, those options in kitten food are very limited. (We think she has some gastrointestinal discomfort and so we are trying a diet switch to see if it eliminates the issue).
we are looking for wet and dry options. At this time, we are not interested in raw diet. Please don’t judge. Also, we have three cats and a limited income, so we need something budget friendly as one of our other cats is on an expensive diet and the third will only eat applaws for her wet food. We are going broke trying to find something!
here are the things we have tried:
Wellness kitten (she will eat a little bit of this but it has chicken in it; and it’s not a guarantee that she will eat it).
Applaws tuna (she will eat some if it is a freshly opened can)
Solid gold blended tuna (thought she really liked this, but after a day wouldn’t touch it)
Tiki cat (wouldn’t touch it and the dry made her stools softer)
Merrick (wouldn’t touch it)
Nulo (wouldn’t touch it)
Royal Canin (wouldn’t touch it)
Purina one (don’t want to feed it any more and it is chicken)
dry food
Tiki (but softened her stools too much)
Royal Canin (wouldn’t touch it)
Wellness (has chicken)
Applaws (wouldn’t touch it)
Nulo (wouldn’t touch it)
Any help would be appreciated...how to get a kitten to eat...what brand...and we really need something we can get from a pet store.
thanks for your help!
