What premium cat food should you feed your kitten?


Top » Column » What luxury cat food should you feed your kitten?

It is not recommended to feed kittens the same cat food as adult cats. Just like humans, they need a lot of nutrition when they are young!

This time, we will look at the differences between adult cats and kittens, learn about the nutritional needs of kittens, and introduce cat food that is recommended for kittens.

Bow Wow Place offers a wide selection of carefully selected, additive-free cat foods.

Find the cat food that your cat will enjoy eating and use it to help maintain its health!

1. Characteristics of kittens

Kittens are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand until they are three months old, but they actually grow quickly; by six months of age, they have completed all the skeletal development necessary for their lifetime, and they go through their first heat period at around eight months of age.

Kittens grow incredibly quickly - in human years they reach 3 years in 2 months, 8-9 years in 6 months, and 13-18 years in 1 year.

The fast growth rate requires a lot of energy.
Kittens need to eat nutritious kitten food to build up their strength. Adult cat food is not nutritious enough, so feed your kitten cat food that contains enough nutrients for growth.

Kittens should also be fed small amounts at least five times a day.

The reason why kittens are not fed three times a day, morning, lunch and dinner, is because they cannot eat a lot at once and to improve digestion and absorption.

2. What is the appropriate food for kittens and how should they be fed?

Let's take a look at the foods your kitten needs and how to feed them as they grow!

Up to 1 month old

Since your cat will be nursing and drinking breast milk, give it cat milk.
Be careful with cow's milk as it doesn't provide enough nutrition to kittens.
At first, you will feed your baby with a syringe or bottle, but gradually he or she will be able to drink from a bowl on his or her own.

Once your kitten's teeth start to appear, you can offer it milk and wet kitten food or dry kitten food soaked in hot water.

Their stomachs are still small, so don't feed them all at once, but give them several portions throughout the day.

From 4 months old

The recommended period for softening dry food is until your puppy is 3 months old. This is when their teeth start to grow in and they start to chew more.
Once your puppy has finished weaning and has gotten used to the texture of the food, it is best to stop softening the food and gradually start giving him harder food 3 to 4 times a day.

It is recommended that you choose a complete kitten food that contains a balanced mix of all the nutrients your kitten needs.
Complete nutritional food contains a balanced combination of nutrients essential for a kitten's growth, such as vitamins, minerals, protein, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, and fiber, so it can fully support a kitten's healthy growth.

Check the amount written on the package and your kitten's weight when feeding them, and make sure to check carefully to make sure they do not leave any food uneaten or have diarrhea.
It's a good idea to gradually introduce fresh water in addition to milk!

From around 7 months old

Kittens are in the latter stages of their growth period, so it is okay to feed them 2-3 times a day.

From around 12 months old

Gradually introduce adult cat food to your kitten. Be careful not to switch to adult food all at once, as this can cause digestive upset.
There are many foods that you should avoid giving to kittens to keep them healthy.

The items you should be most careful with are onions and other alliums, shellfish such as squid and shrimp, chocolate, and spices.
Be careful, as spices may also be found in fish sausages, etc.
These are dangerous foods that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and poisoning, so please be careful not to let your child eat them by mistake.

3. Recommended luxury cat food

It's not easy to prepare your own food mixture to feed your kitten according to its growth.
That's why we recommend that you adopt cat food that provides your cat with the nutrients it needs.
If you're going to give it to your pet, why not choose something that is made with care in terms of ingredients and flavor?
Many of these are a little pricey, but there's nothing more satisfying than being able to watch your beloved cat grow up in peace! Let me introduce a few of them.
