Hill's Science Diet Kitten Healthy Development Original Dry Cat Food, 7-Pound Bag

Feeding your kitten: How much and how often?

Feeding requirements vary greatly from one kitten to another and feeding the right amount of kitten food at the proper intervals can be a challenge. Start with the feeding guides on the food can or bag but that is just the beginning. Your kitten’s physical condition should be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed.

Discuss with your veterinarian how often your kitten should be evaluated and the best feeding method for your kitten:

• Free Choice: Food is always available.
• Time-Limited Feeding: Food is available for a limited amount of time.
• Meal Feeding: A measured amount is available at scheduled times each day.

Choosing the right food for your kitten

All kittens need the basics – high quality kitten food, time to sleep and play, and lots of love – but kittens have individual needs too. Your kitten needs precise levels of essential nutrients to stay her healthiest throughout life. A ‘one size fits all’ approach to nutrition just won’t work. Improper feeding can increase your kitten's risk of obesity, poor muscle and bone development, and poor immune response. She needs a kitten food to provide taurine and other nutrients for proper growth and development. These can be found in all Hill’s® Science Diet® Kitten foods
