A kitten requires attention to itself no less than a child. And their problems are similar: what to feed him so that he grows up healthy and active. Dry food provides a kitten with all the necessary substances, and saves time for the mistress or owner.
It is necessary
2 bowls: one for water, one for food
Instructions
Step 1
Dry food is based on hydrolyzed meat with the addition of vegetables, trace elements and vitamins. The food is balanced, and when feeding with dry food, cats do not need additional vitamin supplementation. Make sure your cat always has fresh drinking water in the bowl. Dry food is easy to store and does not wind up in the bowl.
Step 2
Dry food is available from various manufacturers. For a kitten, choose only super premium food. This food really consists of natural ingredients. Unlike mass-market feeds, which may consist of processed products. Kitten & Junior is labeled on the packaging of kitten food, and the age is 1-12 months or 2-10, depending on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers write “For all ages” on the packaging. This does not mean that the food is bad. But the pellets of such food are too large for just beginners to eat their own kittens. It is better to postpone acquaintance with such food until 6 months. Optimal food for kittens is considered: Hills, Lams, Eukanuba, Pro Plan, Acana (for grown kittens). The packaging should indicate the dosage of feed for each age.
Step 3
The transfer of a kitten to dry food should occur gradually and not earlier than 2 months of age. At this age, the kitten is fed fractionally several times a day in small portions. Dry food begins to be given soaked in water in one of the daily feedings. During the week, you observe the kitten's reaction to new food: is there any discharge from the eyes (a sign of allergies), is the stool normal, or is the kitten awake. If the introduction of the feed has gone unchanged, the number of dry feeds is gradually increased. By 6 months, the kitten should be fed 4 times a day. Wet food from the same manufacturer can be fed on one of the feedings. But rather, it should be regarded as a delicacy.
