That's what my guys want too
At first Felidae was going over well...but after the second try they said "Nah"

So today I went out and got them a few cans of Merricks. I want to try them on that because I've seen 3 stores that carry it so far in my area and it looks like they have a wide variety of flavors. So far so good, they liked the "grandma's pot pie" tonight...we'll see how it is long term

Most kitten dry s are 33-43% protein and 20-25% fat

Allstage usually is 30-33% protein and 15-20% fat

in wet food
kitten protein of 10 = 40-50 % protein

adult is usually 9-11 so it is nearly the same

fat is usuall 5-10% so 25-50% of dry matter...

ash 2.5% on a wet is the highest I like cause that yeilds about 7-9% ( ideally under 7 like most drys )
