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 Animonda, 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 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.
Kittens, like all babies, are very vulnerable in their early stages and therefore need to be well fed. Four weeks after birth the kitten starts to need solid food. You can begin the weaning process. You do this by moistening dry kibble with kitten milk or water so that it becomes a soft mash. It is important that kitten food contains the right nutrients your kitten needs to support growth. From four months onwards it is important to maintain good eating habits. It is important that your kitten can eat without stress in a quiet place. To determine the correct amount of kitten food, simply check the back of the food bag and follow the feeding guide. In principle, cats regulate their own meals because they may eat up to 15 to 20 small meals a day. You could therefore place the total recommended amount of food in the bowl and let the kitten decide when it wants to eat.
