Canned kitten food is generally more expensive than the dry or semi moist variety. It is 50 to 78 percent water and can be fed alone or as a supplement to dry food. When buying canned cat food, avoid buying a brand that contains a lot of added preservatives (the canning process preserves the can's contents, so there is no need for preservatives), and avoid brands listing meat or animal by products as the main ingredients.It is also a good idea to check the can for a freshness or expiration date. Canned kitten food has less preservatives and additives than dry or semi moist food, and it is the healthiest option for your cat or kitten. However, it cannot be left out in the dish all day. Dispose of uneaten kitten food after 20 minutes, and cover and refrigerate any unused portion.
