Top Picks - Premium Canned Kitten Food

Tuesday September 16, 2003
Kittens need a premium canned food for the source of all the necessary nutrients needed to promote the development of strong bones and muscles, promote healthy teeth and gums, and to provide a source of protein and fat needed for the intense period of growth which occurs during the all-important first year.

Ideally, young kittens should be fed a quality canned food at least three or four times a day, during their first five to six months, with dry premium kitten food offered on a "free feeding" basis. After that, three times daily until their first birthday.

Always remove and discard uneaten food after 20-30 minutes. Refrigerate food left in the can and warm to room temperature before feeding. (Immerse in a plastic bag in warm water or mix a bit of hot water with the food.)
