As a busy cat parent, I need a reliable, easy-to-use food that won't break the bank, and Ayo fits the bill. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm loving the results.

nutritional profileAyo kitten food is a balanced, premium formula designed to meet the nutritional needs of kittens.

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm not a fan of the smell my kitten leaves behind after eating Royal Canin. The stench is just unbearable. I've heard great things about Elato and Grandorf, but the cost is way out of my budget. At first, I thought about switching to natural food, but let's be real - I just don't have the time to create a custom diet for my cat.

When I'm at the pet store, the staff always recommend Ayo kitten food, and after some research, I decided to give it a try.

Kibble for Ayo's kittensOne thing I really appreciate about this kibble is the complete absence of wheat and corn - a big plus in my book.

Appearance. Smell.

The kibble granules are small and irregular, dark in color, and look super hard - at least, that's my initial impression.

But, judging by my cat, the granules are pretty standard in terms of hardness.

Kibble for Ayo's kittensThe smell of this kibble is normal to my human nose - not overpowering.

The packaging is pretty convenient, too. It has a zip closure and the bag stands upright. I don't need to transfer any kibble from the smaller package.

Eat-ability. And other features.

Does your cat love playing the 'starving kitty' role? Mine does.

Our cat loves it, too.

Hungry kittyBut as soon as I start rustling the package or pouring the kibble into the bowl, the starving kitty act turns into hunting mode.

It's all under control - the amount of kibble, the speed of pouring, and freshness

Kibble for Ayo's kittensVasiliya eats this kibble pretty well. At first, she wasn't too fond of it, but after a few days of trying it, she now eats it without any issues.

I'm glad to report that the food doesn't seem to affect my cat's trips to the bathroom. In fact, it doesn't seem to have a negative impact at all. The litter box is used consistently without any issues with digestion. The smell is unpleasant, but let's be real, it's not like cat poop is supposed to smell like roses! I've noticed that the feces from Royal Canin food were particularly pungent and a lot stronger.

Interestingly, my cat hasn't developed any food aversions, at least not yet. Fingers crossed that continues!

To give you a better idea of what my cat's diet looks like, I'm not just sticking to dry food. I also supplement with wet food and cooked meat.

Her favorite wet food is Obed Number 5 from Derivenskie Lakomstva.

Naturally, Vasiliy loves this one: Beef Light.

I'm really pleased with the Ayo kitten food. No complaints here!
