Royal Canin Feline Dry Cat Food

As kittens are growing rapidly, and their digestive and immune systems are developing slowly, they have very specific nutritional needs that are different from adult cats. In particular, kittens need a diet with a higher energy and protein content, plus vitamins and minerals that support the immune system and the development of healthy organs, muscles and skeleton. In the first 4 weeks of their life, your kitten goes through an intense growth spurt that helps to build a strong skeleton and muscle mass. For this, they need protein and other key nutrients from their diet, such as antioxidants for immune system support. During this period, they should be fed exclusively on their mother’s milk or a kitten milk replacer. The high energy content in this food is purposely formulated to align with your kitten’s high level of activity.

The kibble of Royal Canin Kitten has been specially developed for the small jaws of kittens. It also provides a mechanical brushing effect as your cat chews, which can support optimum dental hygiene in kittens. Milk: When they’re first born, your kitten will exclusively drink its mother’s milk, if she is able to provide it. Colostrum is the first milk of the mother and it provides vital antibodies to pass on immunity to kittens in this early part of their development. For kittens from 4 to 12 months of age. Kittens grow in 2 unique phases. In the 2nd phase (4 to 12 months) the kitten’s growth slows down. Their digestive and immune systems continue to develop but remain fragile, their bone structure strengthens gradually and their final set of teeth appear. Easy to chew: You can use soft, wet foods like our Mother & Babycat Ultra Soft Mousse, which are easy to eat and will help your kitten transition to solid food. Or you can use dry foods. Bear in mind that dry food is harder to chew, so if you decide to use it, start by adding water or a kitten milk replacer to moisten it. Over time, progressively add less and less liquid until your kitten is only eating dry food. If you choose to get your cat neutered, there is the risk they’ll gain weight rapidly after the procedure as their energy expenditure reduces by 30%, yet their appetite increases by up to 26%. Choose a food that’s specially formulated for sterilised cats, and which is appropriate for their breed and gender, and monitor their weight closely.
