I was feeding my new kitten (a male) Meow Mix Market Select tubs, and he was loving them.
His first Vet visit for his first checkup was today, and the doctor said that dry cat food was the best for cats.
Now, based on the limited resaerch I did, I thought moist (canned) was the best--at least the premium canned food. So this surprised me, and the doctor even uttered the word Friskies as a good dry food.
To his credit he didn't even mention Hill's, which is the kind he sells and gives as a complimentary sample, so the cynic in me can't say he wants me to buy from him--becase his office doesn't sell Friskies, etc.
Getting this kitten to now eat dry is going to be a chore.
What dry food do you suggest for a male kitten, or which ones to avoid? Do you agree that dry food is much better and to quote the doctor, "dry food is less prone to give cats urinary diseases." I thought it was just the opposite, but then again, I don't have a doctorate from Michigan State University.
Another dumb question: when he says dry food, I'm assuming that means the crunchy kind, not the moist (dry) bagged food.
Well, soon off to Pet Smart---
