Your kitten’s diet must support its growth
The developmental needs of kittens
The needs of growing kittens are very different from those of adult cats, and not remotely similar to those of humans. Their diet must provide them with the nutrients needed to maintain body condition, and with the right nutrient mix to develop their bodies and ensure correct growth. It must also take into account their immature digestion, immunity and dentition. A perfectly tailored nutritional solution supports the body’s growth, energy needs and immune function.

The diet you feed your pet during kittenhood will influence their heath and eating habits for the rest of their life. So ensuring they maintains a healthy, balanced diet during this stage is vital. A nutritionally complete and balanced diet tailored to their specific needs plays a vital part in that.
