Can my kitten eat Fancy Feast & Meow Mix without UTI or kidney issues?

Question

Hi. Since Meow Mix haven't been recalled yet, is it fine to feed my kitten only 1 can of Fancy Feast and half cup of Meow Mix dry food. Will my kitten can have UTI, kidney failure or urinary tract infection on that? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 11 days old | 9 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The fancy feast and Meow mix are find to feed at that amount. I prefer Purina kitten chow or a Science Diet kitten formula. Fancy feast and meow mix are not prescription foods so they do not prevent kidney disease, urinary crystals that would cause him to be blocked (urinary obstruction) or a bacterial UTI. UTI's and kidney failure are not caused by diet. UTI's are from bacteria and kidney disease develops with age and many other factors. Oliver is too young to put him on a kidney diet since it isn't safe for growing kittens and we only put cats on kidney diets when they start showing signs of kidney disease. Urinary obstructions can be caused by diet and by genetics (how the cats processes the food) and causes the formation of crystals in the urine. Urinary obstructions aren't always caused by diet as stress, inflammation, mucous and bladder stones can be causes. I hope this helps and I wish you and Oliver the very best!
