Jump to the list

How we created this canned kitten food list

We leveraged input from our veterinarians and artificial intelligence to identify key considerations to help you find the best canned kitten food.

We scanned thousands of customer reviews and ratings and scored each product based on its performance against each of the key considerations. We then considered how popular a product is with Chewy customers and combined that with its key consideration scores to create the list of the best canned kitten foods.
