Mother & Babycat Dry Cat Food is Excellent

Small size really helps with smaller kittens to introduce dry food. Mixes very well with wet food or can be soaked until it's soft. Smells appetizing as well.

Great choice

Rescued a miracle kitten. Used mom and kitten food from the beginning. He loves it. His name is Mouse. He is a cat, that acts like a dog. He is so funny. Are their any coup Ns?

Must be good!

Loved the first bag but not so crazy about recent

I think the formula changed. The first bag purchased looked different and the cats loved it. Now I have 3 bags and they do not love it.

Absolutely Promotes Well Being

As a Foster to over 160 Moms and Newborns I can say with confidence that Mother and BabyCat Wet and Dry food is a key factor in their health and development. The difference is visible in the kitten’s desire to wean and eat on their own. Moms love it ! Often times Moms are undernourished when they arrive and proper nutrition is the difference maker for both themselves and their babies starting at birth.

Was the perfect food for my fosters

I fostered a litter of five 6-week old kittens and this was the perfect food for them! They took to it easily and did not cause them any GI upset. I have kept two of the kittens and will soon transition them to RC Kitten.

Cats' Favorite Dry Food

Great dry food for kittens with the nutrition needed to support both kittens and mother cat! So irresistible, I have to chase the father away or he'll eat it all too! I feed the Thin Slices in Gravy wet food in addition to this product until about 3 months, when fully weened off their mother's milk. Then I switch to the Kitten formula dry food. 4 Paws Up!

Easy to work with.

Bought this for our kitten that we began feeding at a day old. He loved it and so did we. Felt like we were giving him the best new start to his life
