Hi - i feed my kitten (18 weeks old) royalcanin growth wet food and dry food. I also bought some natures menu wet food because it has great reviews and is 70% chicken. Is it ok to give her the royal canin pouch one day and the natures menu pouch the next day (alternating) or should the food stay consistent? I will continue the royal canin dry food. Thanks so much, leila

Yes it is okay to switch back and forth between those two different pouches as long as she tolerates it. If she starts having loose stool then I would just pick one and stick with it. Most cats can tolerate a small variety but some cannot. I hope this helps!
