Getting a Kitten? Consider These Kitten Feeding Tips
- 2. www.petshop-online.com.au
If you are about to become the proud owner of a new kitten, here are
some feeding tips to keep in mind.
Advance Kitten Food is a highly recommended cat food. We have several
brands available and this is one of the most popular options. This high
quality brand of pet food meets all the nutritional needs of a growing kitten.
It is very important to feed kitten food to your young cat. Most veterinarians
recommend this until the cat is at least one year old. If you have many cats
in your household, you might find this costly.
Do not be tempted to give your kitten regular cat food too soon, since it can
substantially benefit from having Advance Kitten food for the first year of
life. Adult cat food does not have the right consistency for a young cat’s
digestive system and the nutritional needs of a young cat are different from
that of an older cat. Conversely, do not give your adult cat with kitten food.
There are suitable types of food for every stage of a cat’s life.
Amount of Food
Every bag of Advance Kitten Food has feeding guidelines that are based on
the age of your kitten. You can also read the nutritional profile of the
product and check that quality ingredients are used.
Cats do tend to graze, rather than eat all their food at once. Most of them
have well regulated appetites but too much kitten food will definitely lead to
obesity for some kittens, so following the general feeding guidelines would
be a good idea.
Feeding Time
Always offer plenty of fresh water along with your pet’s food. When kittens
are young, feel free to add a bit of water to moderately hydrate the food and
make it easier for chewing. Be aware though that this will shorten the
lifespan of the food so it should not be left out for several hours once it is
moistened.
Regularly wash the kitten’s bowl as well. If you have several cats, it is
important to keep a watchful eye on them when introducing new cats to the
house, or when feeding a number of kittens at the same time to ensure that
no one is being a bit of a bully. If necessary, separate them to make sure
everyone gets their fill.

Switching Cat Food Brands
It is not advisable to instantly change a kitten’s food unless they are having
a bad reaction to the food. If you are changing to a new brand of pet food,
do a gradual shift if possible. Otherwise, it could upset their young tummies.
If your cat is having issues with more than one cat food, talk to your vet in
case there are food sensitivities or other medical issues at play.
