Frequently Asked Questions about Wet Kitten Foods

What are some of the best ingredients to look for in wet kitten foods?

Some of the best ingredients to look for in wet kitten foods include real meats or fish and healthy whole food ingredients. Look for ingredients that have been minimally processed, and try to avoid formulas that contain lots of fillers, meat meals and artificial ingredients. Wet kitten foods should also contain taurine as well as essential vitamins and minerals. DHA is also a good ingredient to look for, as it aids healthy development in kittens. Your vet may be able to recommend some good wet kitten food formulas or brands. You can also use the product filters on our site to find just the right wet kitten food for your furry friend.

Is wet food better for kittens?

Wet food is often better for kittens, especially for kittens under 6 weeks of age. Very young kittens cannot easily chew and digest dry food, so you will need to feed them wet kitten food exclusively until they are 5-6 weeks. After that, you can begin feeding a mix of wet and dry kitten foods or transition your kitten to primarily kibble. However, most vets recommend feeding kittens and adult cats at least some wet food, as its higher water and protein content can be beneficial.

How much wet food should I feed my kitten every day?

Feed your kitten as much wet food as your vet recommends every day. Younger kittens usually need to eat more often, so consider feeding them 3 to 4 times per day, if possible. See the feeding guidelines on the wet kitten food you're feeding for more quantity guidance, or consult with your vet to determine the best amount.
