I fed this WHISKAS Junior Chicken 800 g dry food to my kitten and used it for a few weeks to see how well it suits growing cats. Right away I appreciated that the kibble comes in a solid cardboard box which helps keep it upright and easy to store. The texture is crunchy and not too hard, which worked well for small teeth — my kitten was able to pick it up easily without hesitation. The aroma is clearly chicken-oriented, mildly scented and appealing to cats.

During meal times the food disappears quickly. My kitten seems to enjoy it a lot, often rushing back for the next bowl. That tells me the palatability is good. The shape and size of the pieces are small enough for a young cat but still firm enough to encourage chewing, which contributes to mild abrasion of teeth. Digestion has been smooth — stools are firm and regular, with no signs of gas or upset tummy after I introduced it gradually.

The nutritional profile looks appropriate for a growing cat: high protein (≈ 35.7 %) and reasonable fat (≈ 13.6 %), with added vitamins and minerals useful for bone development, coat health, and immunity. The inclusion of taurine is a plus for eye and heart health. The calorie density is moderately high, so portion control matters: overfeeding could risk weight gain in less active kittens. The feeding guidelines recommend adjusting quantities based on age and weight, and I found it beneficial to follow those rather than feeding ad libitum.

One small drawback might be the ingredients list: cereals and “meat and animal derivatives” form part of the composition, rather than declaring “fresh chicken meat” as the primary component. For some pet owners that prefer meat-first formulations, this could feel less premium. Also, since it’s dry food, you must ensure fresh drinking water is always available to avoid dehydration. I did notice that after switching from a wet food-heavy diet to this dry food, I needed to increase the water bowl frequency to keep my kitten hydrated.

Price-wise, this product is reasonably affordable compared to high-end kitten food brands. In Pakistan’s online pet shops the price may vary depending on the vendor, shipping, and promotions. It offers decent value for a well-known brand. Overall I think WHISKAS Cardboard Dry Junior with Chicken 800 g is a solid choice for kitten owners looking for a balanced dry diet that their pet will enjoy and digest well.

If you want, I can compare this product with two or three similar kitten dry foods (nutritionally or price-wise) so you can see alternatives.
