Question

Is meow mix ok to feed my kitten?

Answer 1

yes its ok

Answer 2

That's what i feed my cat and she was a very healthy kitten!

Answer 3

I stay away from 'cheap' brands you can buy in the supermarkets.

Answer 4

I wouldnt usually recommended it. I feed my cats(i have four) Nutro Natural Choice. In my opinion it is the best and the healthies. That is all they sell at my vet.

Answer 5

If it is for kittens it is fine.

Answer 6

MM won't kill your kitten, but it is a low quality food.  Why do I say that?  Look at the ingredients on the bag.  Unfortunately I can't find them online (never a good sign), but from reading it in the past I remember seeing corn, corn and more corn.

Cats are carnivores.  WTF do they need with corn?

A general rule of thumb is that if you can buy it at the grocery store, it ain't good.

Better choices can be found in these lists:

The best of the worst - dry foods: My personal picks are Wellness Core, Innova Evo or Nature's Variety Instincts. I agree with some of the foods listed here but not all. I am happy to review ingredient lists if requested: http://cats.about.com/cs/nutrition/tp/pr...

Meow mix is like giving your kitty fast food...you wouldn't want it every day.  It will do in a pinch but its probably better to get the kitten on a good diet with a higher quality food.

I recommend from personal experience a diet that is a mix of wet food and dry food. I use Nutro products, because they are what I have had the most success with.  

There are products out there that are higher quality, but are more expensive.  Nutro is reasonably priced, and is leaps and bounds above Meow mix.  All of my kitties are in healthy body weight, great teeth, and excellent coat.

Do some research on what brand and type of higher quality food is best for your kitty,  doing this will ensure a long healthy life time for you to share with your kitty.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Its "ok" but to give your kitten a rich and silky soft fur, feed it Royal canin. I foster kittens and have been doing it for 13 years and thats what we feed them.

Answer 9

It woudl be better to feed him something from ther vet or a pet store. Them eating meow mix is like us eating mcdonalds everyday. not good

Answer 10

grocery store bought cat food really isn't all that great for you cat. sometimes it can cause UTI (urinary tract infection) which is painful for kitty and expensive for you. i suck it up and get my cat food from the vet so i know it is better. it is better to spend a little more money on food than get a $1000 bill for you blocked kitty. Good Luck!

Answer 11

you will get 20,000 opinions here, most likely none from vets or anyone with an interest in cat nutrition.  since you have internet access, why not search feline nutrition and decide for yourself if that is good food or not.  I am not even going to get into the whole dry food vs wet food, but there is quite a bit of info and data out there to guide you to find a much more quality food for your cat that is not super expensive
