Royal Canin Kitten Dry Cat Food 2kg

Product Information

Wet kitten food: Canned or pouched, wet food is an alternative or a complement to dry food and removes the need to add water. Many kittens and adult cats eat a mixed diet of dry and wet food. Why your kitten's diet is so important

The kibble also contains nutrients such as vitamins C and E, which help your kitten to develop an optimum immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids support the natural development of the brain and promote healthy eyesight. A combination of beneficial prebiotics (MOS) and highly-digestible proteins ensures that Royal Canin Kitten helps your young cat to achieve an ideal gut flora balance, boosting healthy digestion.

At four weeks old, your kitten will start to show an interest in solid food and you can begin weaning. Do this by rehydrating a dry kibble with kitten milk or water to a mushy consistency so your kitten will be able to eat it easily, or use a wet food instead. Choose a feed which is specifically designed for kittens which will support their growth – for example, it should be enriched with antioxidants to stimulate their production of antibodies, as during weaning the immunity they’ve gained from their mother begins to decrease.

From milk to solids: We recommend introducing solid foods when weaning the kittens. This starts at 4-4.5 weeks. You may decide to use a Mother and Baby cat food so that the mother and her kittens are eating the same food.

If you’re worried you don’t know what to feed your new kitten and when, there are a few things you should know: Has an enhanced digestive tolerance thanks to the inclusion of L.I.P – a protein selected due its 90% digestibility rate – as well as prebiotics such as FOS Growth is an essential stage in your kitten’s life because it’s a time of big changes, significant discoveries and new encounters. During this period, it’s important to make sure that your kitten gets the right kind of nutrients to support healthy growth and development.

In the first 4 weeks of their life, your kitten goes through an intense growth spurt that helps to build a strong skeleton and muscle mass. For this, they need protein and other key nutrients from their diet, such as antioxidants for immune system support. During this period, they should be fed exclusively on their mother’s milk or a kitten milk replacer.A gradual transition: Kittens are very sensitive to change, so always make sure you transition to new food over the course of a week so your kitten can get used to their new diet.

Kitten Health: perfectly sized kibble for small kittens, with a balanced mix of vital nutrients and minerals to support good health You should also consider your cat’s lifestyle when feeding them as an adult cat, from around 12 months onwards. Indoor cats with sedentary lifestyles need less energy than outdoor cats, so it’s important to give them an appropriate portion to avoid them gaining weight and suffering from connected health problems. As kittens are growing rapidly, and their digestive and immune systems are developing slowly, they have very specific nutritional needs that are different from adult cats. In particular, kittens need a diet with a higher energy and protein content, plus vitamins and minerals that support the immune system and the development of healthy organs, muscles and skeleton.Milk: When they’re first born, your kitten will exclusively drink its mother’s milk, if she is able to provide it. Colostrum is the first milk of the mother and it provides vital antibodies to pass on immunity to kittens in this early part of their development. Less and often: Up to around 6 months when your kitten's stomach is still small, you may decide to feed your cat with smaller portions 4-6 times a day. As they grow into an adult, you can transition to twice a day, as they can handle larger portions in one meal. Alternatively, you can leave out their entire daily recommended portion of dry food and let them eat at their own pace - but you must remove any leftovers after 24 hours.
