Understand your kitten’s nutrition

Your kitten has very different nutritional requirements than a person, so make sure they have the nutrition they need for a healthy start. Choose a formula labeled “Kitten” to ensure the right balance of protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins for healthy growth. If unsure which option is best, consult your veterinarian for tailored advice based on your cat’s breed, size, and health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kittens usually begin showing interest in solid food at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Kitten-specific wet food can be gradually introduced from around 4 weeks as a gentle transition away from mother's milk. From 6 to 8 weeks onwards, you can slowly move to dry kitten food or a combination of dry and wet food for kittens. Since kittens' digestive systems are still developing, any food change should be gradual. A 7 to 10 day transition is recommended to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

 

Choose a formula specifically labelled "Kitten" to ensure the protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins are proportioned for rapid growth. High-quality kitten food should provide sufficient energy, premium protein, and targeted nutrients to support bone, muscle, brain, and immune system development.

Yes. Combining dry and wet food for kittens is an excellent way to ensure both nutritional variety and adequate hydration. Dry kitten food is easy to store, convenient to serve, and supports dental health, while wet kitten pet food offers higher moisture content to keep your kitten well hydrated and can improve palatability for fussier eaters. Consult your vet to determine the ideal dry-to-wet ratio based on your kitten's age, weight, and health status.
