Product Information

Good quality kitten food isn’t cheap but ensuring your kitten has the best start in life is important, which includes giving them food that will provide them with the vital nutrition they need to grow up healthy. Jollyes dry food is more reasonably priced than some alternatives but is still approved by veterinarians and carefully balanced for your kitten’s nutritional needs. Guaranteed analysis and nutrient profiles: The guaranteed analysis consists of the percentages of protein, fat, and essential nutrients in a food. Food for kittens should have a minimum of 30% protein, 9% fat, and the presence of essential nutrients, including amino acids like taurine, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. Dr. Deb Zoranis a board-certified small animal internist and professor of small animal clinical sciences at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University. Zoran helped us understand kitten nutrition and the attributes of a quality food. She also shared her personal feeding preferences, which may not represent specific endorsements shared by Texas A&M University. PRO PLAN LIVECLEAR Sterilised Adult offers an outstanding complete and great-tasting nutrition for the long-term health of your cat as it helps maintain their urinary health and ideal body weight as well as helps promote healthy kidneys.

Wet kitten food is the most natural way to keep your little one hydrated while meeting their nutritional needs. These foods contain 75% to 78% moisture whereas dry foods contain 10% to 12% moisture. "Cats prefer to get their water from their food," says Zoran. Like all of the best cat food, canned options must meet nutrition requirements set by the AAFCO for the growth (kitten) stage or all life stages, including a minimum of 30% protein and 9% fat on a "dry matter" or moisture-free basis. Expert formulations: For this guide, we prioritized brands that have a dedicated nutrition expert on staff, which aligns with WSAVA guidelines and our experts' guidance. We also looked for brands active in research or those that collaborate with universities and colleges. Choosing one the best kitten foods is individualistic, from a cat's preferred tastes to unique nutritional needs. For this reason, it's helpful to approach feline nutrition with guidance from your vet. Live Clear: this delicious dry cat food range has been specially formulated to reduce allergies by a staggering amount, the very first of its kind! It binds allergens in fur and skin using a special protein and is ideal for more sensitive cats. These Purina Pro Plan Live Clear dishes also support every other aspect of your cat’s health, for overall wellbeing! Special Care: sterilised cats or overweight cats require different nutrition, so Purina Pro Plan special care nutrition has been designed to specifically support these needs, as well as offering an anti-hairball dry food option that have all been developed with your cat in mind, in a range of flavours.Purina is a highly reputable cat food brand, producing a huge range of wet and dry foods for both cats and kittens. This is another high-quality product that’s very digestible and is full of prebiotics and antioxidants to help support and develop a healthy immune system. There isn’t as much real meat in this food as in some other products on this list, and it isn’t grain free, which can be a problem for some kittens. But it is excellent value for money and will last a decent amount of time. Make sure your kitten always has access to water but ensure your water dish is no more than two inches high while the kitten is small to keep them safe when drinking. The only downside is the price – if you are only feeding wet food, you’ll get through around three and a half pouches a day, and this can mount up. Although we feel the quality of the food is worth it, you could consider supplementing some of the wet food with the corresponding biscuits to keep the price down.

All our recommended kitten foods have a high protein content, but the Purina ONE kitten food has a whopping 41%. Protein is essential for kittens to build muscle, so a high protein content is essential in kitten food. The food is thinly sliced to help with the transition from milk to solid foods and is available in three textures to suit fussy felines. We’ve chosen the jelly variety, but it’s also available in gravy and loaf varieties. Royal Canin seems to be very popular with kittens and cats, so we’re confident your kitten will enjoy one of the textures. With a whopping 70% meat content, Tippaws is really palatable and appealing to kittens, while the kibble is slightly smaller than adult food, to make it easier for them to bite. It’s also a complete food, though you can still use it alongside some wet food – which is recommended if your kittens are learning how to bite biscuits. 50p from each 5kg bag is also donated to a cat rescue charity, meaning you’ll be helping out other cats as well. HOW LIVECLEAR WORKS: all cats produce a common allergen called Fel d1 in their saliva. When cats eat LIVECLEAR, a specific protein sourced from eggs binds to the Fel d1 and safely neutralises it in the cat’s mouth. And when fed daily, LIVECLEAR reduces the allergens on cat hair by an average of 47%, starting from 3 weeks*. With continuous feeding, you are providing excellent nutrition for your cat plus maintaining the extraordinary benefit of reducing allergens on cat hair.

They have your cat's long-term health at heart, which is why the Purina Pro Plan Kitten food range is the perfect choice for supporting your kitten's growth and development while ensuring they're still full of energy to explore their new world. You'll also find a great range of Purina Pro Plan Senior cat foods which are specially formulated to meet the needs and requirements of senior cats to ensure they stay fit and healthy.
