This product is meant to be fed to growing kittens and pregnant or nursing Adult cats. Kittens, like Adult cats, will eat multiple meals per day, so provide daily amount of food divided into smaller meals. Moisten food until just soft for pre - weaning period. Pick up left over food and discard in order to maintain freshness. As kittens get more used to dry food, reduce the amount of water added to the food.
Adjust feeding amounts to maintain steady, slow growth and ideal body condition. Amounts will depend on age, activity, environment and temperament. Helping to decrease cat obesity means keeping your kitten at ideal body condition throughout its growth and early Adulthood.
Pregnant or Nursing Cat: Adjust feeding amounts in order to maintain ideal body condition. Feed multiple meals per day with daily amounts divided into smaller meals. Pregnant cats can require up to 2 - 3 times their normal Adult maintenance amounts of food. Nursing cats can require up to 4 times their normal Adult maintenance amounts of food, with larger increases happening about 4 weeks after kittens are born and start rapid growth.
Get your kitten off to a good start with a first and then regular veterinary visits. Keep fresh water available at all times.
When switching your pet's diet, we recommend transitioning from the current diet to any new Natural Balance Formula over a 5-7 day period. Replace 25% of the current diet with new Natural Balance Formula each day until they are fully transitioned. If you do not have any of your current formula to mix, reduce the amount of formula fed for the first few days, feeding smaller more frequent meals and increase over time. If your pet is more sensitive to change, please allow 10-14 days to fully transition onto the new formula.

Shiny coat, healthy kittens
By Zoee on Jan 9, 2019
I have 2 cats who are about 7 and 9 months old now. They've been on this food for 6 months and they are happy, active, smart, and beautiful. I like to think it's just because they are perfect, but they love this food and I'm sure it helps.

Kitten won't eat it
By Kaycee on Jan 22, 2019
My kitten had previously been on Blue Buffalo and won't eat this. He will eat the Purina kitten food that came with him from the shelter and stick his head in the dog food bowl before he will eat this.

Kitten Food
By kat13 on Jan 26, 2019
My kitten didn't seem to care for this. It took a lot of effort to get him to eat it. My adult cats wouldn't go near it. I won't buy it again.

By Animal on Nov 28, 2018
The company stopped making the brand i originally got for my ferret and recommended i switch to this one. I am not overly keen on it and its just doesn't do what the previous kind i had did.

9 wk old kitten
By Molly on Jul 2, 2018
We adopted a 9 wk old kitten. She came from the breeder eating science diet (blah) So wanted to start switching immediately. Started her on the 1/4 of this to 3/4 of the crap. We are on full Natural Balance now and she loves it. Going to also try the soft Nat'l Bal. 3-4 times a week.

She Loves it!
By Nellee on Jun 25, 2018
Nellee Bellee loves her kitten food. She eats all of it when it's put out for her. I'll get another bag for her in August and that will take her up to a year of age. Then it will be time to find out which cat food that you recommend as the best. Thank you so much she's so happy.
