Any kitten formulation should be fine to give. Most brands have both wet and dry versions of the same foods so you can offer both without causing GI upset. If you are switching foods, gradually doing so over a period of 7-9 days can help minimize any GI upset. Most kittens should be fed 3-4 times a day and this can decrease to 2-3 once they are a bit older. The wet/dry combo can be spread out however works best for your schedule, however any wet food that is not eaten should be picked up after 15 minutes to avoid spoiling.
