Should kittens eat wet or dry food?
Kittens can thrive on both wet and dry food, as long as it’s complete and balanced, rich in animal protein, and made with high-quality ingredients. Wet food provides extra hydration and a soft texture, while dry food offers convenience and an exciting crunch. Many kitten parents choose to offer both for variety, to keep mealtime exciting.
Besides our dedicated kitten recipes, most of Stella & Chewy’s cat food is suitable for all life stages, including kittens! That means you have plenty of options to pick from, including freeze-dried raw meals and treats, raw blend kibble, more raw-coated kibble recipes, and canned pâtés, morsels and shreds.
Whether you’re building a bowl or rotating formats, you can feel confident knowing you’re giving your kitten the nutrition they need to thrive.
Dry kitten food: crunchy & coated with raw
Our Raw Coated Kibble for Kittens delivers balanced nutrition with cage-free chicken as the first ingredient and the irresistible taste of freeze-dried raw in every bite. It’s made in the USA and specially formulated with optimal levels of protein, fat and calories for growing kittens.
With probiotics for digestion, omega fatty acids for skin and coat, and DHA for brain and eye development, it’s a simple way to support your kitten’s health, inside and out!
Wet kitten food: protein-rich & hydrating
Our Carnivore Cravings Purrfect Paté for Kittens features cage-free chicken and wild-caught salmon in a light broth packed with meaty flavor and essential moisture. It’s perfect for kittens who need extra hydration or prefer soft food.
Naturally high in protein and low in carbs, our wet kitten food can be served on its own as a complete and balanced meal, or used as a topper for kibble or freeze-dried raw.
