Weaning Your kitten

Kittens require a food which has been specially developed for them; kitten food can be slowly introduced from weaning and fed until around 1 year, when they should be gradually transitioned to an adult food. Kitten food has a higher protein and fat content than an adult cat food and provides all of the nutrition necessary for the growth and energy requirements of growing cats.

A delicate balance of protein, oils and fats, carbohydrates and fibre is required to help optimise growth and development within this first critical year. 

Introduction to a dry diet 

A slow introduction of the new food and the transition from weaning (around 8 weeks) needs to be carefully managed.

With a young cat their digestive system is still very sensitive. Start by adding a few kibbles of the new dry food per day, gradually increasing to a full bowl over 2 to 3 weeks.

Always provide plenty of fresh clean water and try to limit supplementing the diet with treats or any other food for the first few weeks to let the digestive system adjust to the new food. If it is necessary, the dry food can also be moistened and softened with water.
