Do kittens need to eat kitten food?

Kittens do need to eat kitten food. Growing kittens have higher energy requirements than older cats, and they also require a diet with more protein and one that is higher in certain nutrients like DHA. For this reason, most veterinarians recommend only feeding your kitten a food that is specifically formulated for kittens. You may see certain cat foods that are labeled as being "appropriate for all life stages", but it is usually safest to stick with a true kitten food formula for feeding cats under 1 year old. Your vet can advise you on the best kitten foods for your kitten's specific needs if you are unsure which ones to choose.

How long do kittens need kitten food?

Kittens need kitten food for as long as they are still maturing, which usually means until they are 10 to 12 months of age. Certain larger breeds like Maine Coon cats don't reach maturity until later and should continue to eat kitten food until they are 18 months to 2 years of age. Your vet can advise you on how long you should feed your young feline kitten food and recommend good kitten food formulas as well as recommended feeding amounts and meal timing.

What is the difference between kitten and cat food recipes?

The difference between kitten and cat food recipes is that kitten foods are usually more calorie-dense and higher in protein, fat and fatty acids like DHA. Kitten food and cat food formulas vary widely, however, so be sure to check product labels or get recommendations from your vet before you buy.

How much should I feed my kitten a day?

You should feed your kitten enough to meet her caloric requirements each day. Because kitten food formulas vary, consult the feeding chart on the food you are feeding to determine the right amount to feed for your kitten's weight. If you are feeding a mix of wet and dry foods, you may need to do a bit of math or consult your vet on the right amounts of each to feed. Be sure to also change the amount you feed as your kitten's weight increases, and you may need to vary the amount if your kitten is gaining too much or too little weight. Your vet can guide you on the right amounts to feed and monitor your kitten to ensure she is growing properly and thriving.
