Nutrition for Kittens

Choose Your Kitten's Diet Carefully
There is a lot of confusing information regarding kitten foods. The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies particularly well to pet foods. We encourage you not to compare foods by the "guaranteed analysis" on the label. It is based on a chemical analysis only and measures gross quantities of ingredient classes - it tells you nothing about the quality or digestibility of the ingredients. Highly digestible kitten foods mean you feed less. It is typical to be looking at feeding your kitten from $0.25 - $1.00/day (depending on canned and dry proportions).

Benefits of Excellent Nutrition
The diet we recommend is of exceptional quality. We expect your kitten to have a luxurious, shiny coat, to be bright and lively, have strong healthy teeth and gums, and make a small, well-formed stool. Superior nutrition helps kittens build bone, muscle, tissue, and boosts their immune system to help fight disease.

Feed Some Canned Food
While you may prefer to feed only dry food, always give some canned food. Cats are very sensitive to mouth feel and as they age they may develop medical conditions best managed by increasing water intake. Feeding canned food is the best way to do this. Cats that have never been exposed to canned food as kittens often refuse to eat it later in life.

We Most Often Recommend Medi-cal Development
Medical Development is a nutrient-dense, exceptionally palatable diet for kittens. Chicken, fish and egg provide high quality, easily digestible protein sources. Flax and primrose oil are sources of omega fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a lustrous coat, Added fructo-oligosaccharides and digestive enzymes help maintain a healthy digestive tract. Development Formula is naturally preserved with vitamin E, citric acid, rosemary extract and lecithin.
