    Hi everyone, 

    Has anyone found a wet food that's comparable to the Royal Canin Mother and Baby?

    I love Sheeba Kitten, it's very soft in texture, very moist, and kittens all seem to love it, I have yet to have a kitten turn their nose up to it.  It's also a lot less expensive than RC.

    We start with Fancy Feast kitten. If they won't eat that we move to Sheba kitten. We save the RC for the pickiest kittens that refuse to eat anything else.

    I second Sheba kitten. I avoid Fancy Feast kitten since it tends to give a lot of kittens diarrhea. Apparently we are not the only ones worried about the insane increase in cost of RC?

    This sounds silly, but which flavor do you use? We prefer to only feed chicken, turkey, or liver versus the seafood flavors.
