Why can't my kitten handle canned food without loose stools?

Question

3 month old kitten has been doing very well on Taste of the Wild Canyon River dry food. Stools were perfect and nearly odorless. Today I gave him a tiny teeny portion of natural balance lid venison and green pea canned and it immediately loosened his stools. What gives? He was on canned food before and also had lots of problems with loose stools. Could it be that he can’t handle canned food for some reason? I have tried everything, LID, high protein no carb. Taking daily probiotics as well. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | 2 months and 22 days old | 3.2 lbs

Canned food has a lot of moisture in it and may be too rich for some cats. If he likes dry and eats well, then he does not need canned food. The dry is balanced and healthy. If you want to feed him canned you may have to get a prescription formula that is made for GI health such as science diet I/D or Purina EN.
