Feeding Guidelines
Feeding Guidelines
Begin weaning your kitten at 4-5 weeks by offering NATURAL CHOICE® Kitten Food moistened with water. At 6 weeks, feed your kitten according to the chart below. For kittens, we recommend a portion-controlled feeding regimen. Divide the suggested daily amount into 3 or more feedings per day. At 3 months, the daily amount should be divided into 2 feedings – morning and evening. To realize all of the benefits the NATURAL CHOICE® Cat brand has to offer, you should make it your kitten’s only source of nutrition. After 1 year, your kitten is an adult and should be fed NATURAL CHOICE® Adult Cat Food.
