Dry food for kittens can usually be eaten until the kittens are 12 months old. The kibble size is adjusted so kittens can easily chew the food. Since this food is specifically developed for kittens, it contains all important nutrients for the little new-borns. Some of the brands that sell kitten food are the popular brands Royal Canin, Veterinary HPM, Acana and Specific. Did you know that Royal Canin also has specific kitten food for special breeds or recently neutered kittens? Just take a look at Royal Canin Maine Coon Kitten and the Royal Canin Kitten Sterilised. After being neutered, your kitten’s hormone balance will be all over the place. The special dry food has a moderate fat content, which promotes healthy growth and helps with weight maintenance.
Did you know that there is special wet food for kittens too? On our website you can find different types of wet food, sold by brands like Animondo, Carny and Hill’s. The wet food contains a special recipe with bite-sized chunks of meat. As there is wet food with gravy or jelly, even the pickiest eaters will find something they will like. Apart from wet food with meat chunks, there are also special mousses! This way you can spoil both the nursing cat and kittens up to 4 months old, for example with Royal Canin Mother & Babycat Mousse. Thanks to this mousse your kitten can smoothly transition from mother milk to solid food. To top it off, the mousse also supports the nursing cat’s immune system.
Sometimes the mother cat cannot take care of her kittens. In those situations, you can use KMR Kitten Milk as a replacement. The milk can be used as a complete replacement or as a supplement. This formula milk is easily digestible and contains the necessary vitamins and minerals that help cats grow. To feed your cat, you can use the Nursing Kit we offer on our website. This set consists of a bottle with various nipples and a cleaning brush. This way you can hand-feed your kitten easily and make sure it still gets all the required nutrients.
Kittens are similar to babies in that they are extremely vulnerable in their early stages and should be fed well. Four weeks after birth, kittens start requiring solid food. At this point, you can start weaning them. You can do this by creating a paste by wetting dry kibble with kitten milk or water. It’s imperative that the kitten food has the right nutrients for your kitten to grow. From four months old, your kitten should start having healthy eating habits. Start by feeding your kitten in a quiet, stress free spot. The right amount of food is simply determined by checking the food packaging and following the feeding table. In principal, cats can regulate their own feeding as they can eat up to 15 to 20 small meals a day. You could give your kitten the recommended daily amount of food at once and let it decide when it wants to eat throughout the day.
