Is ORIJEN Chunks Chicken & Tuna Kitten Entrée Right for Your Kitten?
A good fit if:
- You want to add more moisture to your kitten's diet.
- Your kitten prefers chunks over pâté.
- You'd like a wet food without grains, peas, potato or carrageenan.
- You're feeding a growing kitten and want a wet food made for growth.
Maybe not the best choice if:
- Your cat is fully grown. Switch to an adult recipe like ORIJEN Chunks & Shreds Original around 12 months.
- Your kitten is sensitive to any of the proteins listed above, or to eggs.

In plain terms: the recipe is built on chicken and tuna, plus organ meat like chicken liver. Bone broths add moisture and flavour. The long list after that is the vitamins and minerals that make it a complete diet, including taurine, which cats need for heart and eye health.
Guar gum is a plant fibre that helps hold the chunks and broth together. Inulin is a prebiotic fibre.

Feeding and Switching Foods
How much to feed: Use the feeding guide on the can as a starting point. Each can has 153 kcal. You can feed it as a complete meal, or mix it with dry food. If you do both, cut back the dry food so your kitten doesn't get too many calories. Adjust to keep a healthy weight.
Switching foods: Cats can be particular, so mix the new food into your cat's current food over 7 to 10 days, adding a little more each day. A slower switch helps avoid an upset stomach and food refusal.
Storage: Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, cover and refrigerate any leftovers, and keep fresh water available at all times.
