What should I feed my kitten?

Choosing the right diet is a vital step to making sure your growing kitten is meeting their nutritional needs. Remember that cats are obligate carnivores–they depend entirely on meat because their diet requires nutrients that are only found in animal flesh.

Here is a short list of some diets that we recommend that have met (or exceeded) AAFCO standards and are specifically tested and formulated for cats under a year of age.

KITTEN (<1)

HILLS

  • Science Diet: Indoor Kitten (wet/dry)

PURINA

  • One: Healthy Kitten Formula (dry)
  • One Focus: Kitten Formula (wet)

NUTRO

  • Wholesome Essentials: Kitten Food (dry)
  • Wholesome Essentials: Max Kitten (wet)

IAMS

  • Proactive Health: Healthy Kitten (dry)
  • Proactive Health: Healthy Kitten (wet)
There should be a chart suggesting amounts to feed per given body weight, in number of cups or ounces per day, on every bag of food.
