Of course, P&G owns IAMS and Eukanuba and P&G itself does test around 20% of their products on animals but some of those tests are required by law (generally food additives and medications).

As for wet food, you shouldn't really be giving a baby wet food right away. Its not very good for their teeth and urinary tract development. If you do want to give it to your baby avoid fish flavoured wet foods because those types do give your baby boo urinary tract infections.

Can you provide a source for this? None of the material I've been able to find have said anything about this. In fact, several recommend wet food when transitioning kittens off of milk.

As for the transition thing, it just makes sense. The babies need to use those baby teeth crunching kitten kibble to get them used and cleaned. Keeping them in that moist environment isn't the best thing. I am not a high supporter of letting cats continually eat wet food either way because its just not all too healthy for them being the animal they are and there are many vets who stand behind that.
