When your kitten is around 4 months old, its growth starts to slow down but its activity levels continue to be as high as ever! During this time, your kitten requires tailored nutrition such as this Royal Canin Kitten to help support healthy development of bones, muscles, organs, immune system and nervous system. 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.

The range is extensive, so that every cat can enjoy these dishes, with treats available as well to ensure enjoyment.

At four weeks old, your kitten will start to show an interest in solid food and you can begin weaning. Do this by rehydrating a dry kibble with kitten milk or water to a mushy consistency so your kitten will be able to eat it easily, or use a wet food instead. Choose a feed which is specifically designed for kittens which will support their growth – for example, it should be enriched with antioxidants to stimulate their production of antibodies, as during weaning the immunity they’ve gained from their mother begins to decrease.If you’re worried you don’t know what to feed your new kitten and when, there are a few things you should know: Mother & Babycat: product range featuring a milk substitute for kittens from birth to weaning, as well as a complete dry food for gestating and lactating queens and kittens between 1 and 4 months Kitten Health: perfectly sized kibble for small kittens, with a balanced mix of vital nutrients and minerals to support good health Royal Canin Kitten Dry Food is specially formulated with the nutritional needs of your second age kitten in mind.

The high energy content in this food is purposely formulated to align with your kitten’s high level of activity. Dental health:specially designed kibble for the small jaws of kittens, with a mechanical brushing effect As well as satisfying your kitten’s unique nutritional requirements, their first food should be suitable for their young digestive system and teeth. For felines in general, the smell and texture of food are bigger deciding factors than taste. As kittens retain their milk teeth until 4-6 months old, it’s important to select a dry formula that is easy to chew and complement it with a wet formula that eases the weaning process. It is beneficial to introduce your kitten to wet food early as it can have health benefits and may be difficult to introduce later in life.

Royal Canin Kitten Food

Milk replacer and formula: If your kitten is not with its mother or their mother cannot provide milk, you can use kitten milk replacers. Specially formulated, replacers offer all the benefits and nutrients of their mother’s milk and should be used until your kitten is weaned onto solid foods. Has an enhanced digestive tolerance thanks to the inclusion of L.I.P – a protein selected due its 90% digestibility rate – as well as prebiotics such as FOS

As your cat matures, maintain good feeding habits and avoid stress by letting it eat in peace in a calm place. Cats are natural grazers, and will eat 15 to 20 very small meals a day. Lots of cats will self-regulate their eating, so you can leave out the total recommended portion of food for the day and allow them to revisit their bowl. A gradual transition: Kittens are very sensitive to change, so always make sure you transition to new food over the course of a week so your kitten can get used to their new diet. 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. Composition : dehydrated poultry protein, rice, vegetable protein isolate*, animal fats, maize flour, hydrolysed animal proteins, wheat flour, maize gluten, yeasts and parts thereof, beet pulp, vegetable fibres, fish oil, soya oil, minerals, fructo-oligo-saccharides (0.38%), psyllium husks and seeds, hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), yeasts extracts (source of betaglucans), marigold extract (source of lutein). Between four and 12 months, your kitten will enter a new stage of growth but will still have a high energy requirement as they begin to explore their surroundings, their body continues to grow and they develop muscle mass. However, their digestive system is still maturing and cannot yet handle portion sizes as large as they will eat as an adult.
