Can 5 month old kitten eat kitten dry food and all stages or adult wet food ( both in the diet) like Waruva wet food? She really doesn't like kitten wet food

I generally recommend a basic adult diet for all cats six month and older. Prior to this, kitten food provides the necessary nutrients required for appropriate growth. If she likes the dry food, I might consider simply feeding the dry food exclusively. You can feed the adult wet food as a sort of treat. That would be my best plan. Hope this helps.

Hello. I would offer Coco food at least 3 times a day. Put down as much as she will eat at one time, but once she is done, pick up the leftovers & refrigerate until the next meal. Warm the food to make it more palatable to her. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Coco is such a cutie! Wet cat food is a great choice for kittens. If she's eating it well, growing and having normal stools, then I wouldn't change anything. As she becomes an adult you can keep her on wet food, but I would recommend measuring it so that she maintains a normal weight. Congratulations on your new little one!
