... any suggestions on kitten food that is not quite cheap but not expensive for a bag of it?

I'm sorry to say, while there may be some suggestions here, most are going to recommend a canned food, at minimum.

 

i dont want to feed them canned food as i have 2 kittens and i can't measure how much they have eatten like i can dry food.

 

Kittens actually can eat as much as they want because they are growing constantly.

If you are feeding dry and want a reasonable price for reasonable food try Taste of the Wild.

 

Okay. I had been eyeing it at the petstores just didn't know if it was safe for kittens or not.

 

I feed my kitten Taste Of The Wild. It is a quality food at a good price! Make sure you get the one for All Life Stages. :smiles

 

Felidae and Chicken Soup for Cat Lovers Soul are both good quality food with reasonable price

 

Wellness has Wellness Kitten Health.

I feed my kitty another one of their formulas and it's pretty good.

You said you didn't want to feed canned for whatever reason but if you ever want to do it, you should start now. I can't get my cat to transition to canned now and I regret ever giving her dry. Canned is better for various reasons. There's a stickied topic about it here.

 

Blue Buffalo Wilderness diet is good. High protein. Better than kitten food.

However, I would have to agree that canned is better. I feed raw-which is what I feel is best. Cats do not have a natural thirst drive. They get most of their water from their food.

Please, please, please all. This is why canned/moist/raw is preferred. Yes, there are many cat's that may drink, but otherwise please be aware that they must get water in their diet. Lack of water may result in increase risk of liver, kidney, or bladder problems

My cat seems to drink no water at all so I add water to his canned and it ends up pretty soupy sometimes. This may be overkill but I know he's getting his water.
