Hi

I have an 8 wk old kitten named Luna, I feed her Iams kitten food and I was wondering if its ok to give her treats @ this age? Someone told me that I should hold off for a bit until she is about a month old or so because it will ruin her diet and she'll get fat.

BTW what's a good qaulity kitten food, dry.

Thank you.

thundercats: Well Iam's isnt' that great of a food plus they do chemical animal testing, so it's good that you are thinking about changing

Thx for your help AngelZoo, I never realized that Iams have and do all those things. It's a good thing you mentioned that.

I noticed that you live in the States, I on the other hand live in Toronto, Canada so I'm not too familiar with those brands you listed, unless of course we don't sell them up here so that could be the other reason. However a brand that I've heard of and that we sell is "Science Diet". Are they any good? :?:

Science Diet really isn't very good. It has a lot of filler and by-products. I know AngelZoo doesn't like Nutro Max or Nutro Natural, but I think that both are well priced, have a good balance of meat/fiber, and are pretty easy to find. Yes, it includes corn gluten meal, but that is not the same thing as ground corn or corn meal.

I feed my 13 week old kittens NutroMax dry (I wanted Nutro Natural, but no one near me carries it) and Wellness canned. I have done lots of research and while I would never feed my cats something from the grocery store, I feel that a by-product free food is perfectly acceptable.
