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.

Not as tasty
By TJC1330 on Oct 2, 2020
I bought a small bag of this dry kitten chow for my new kitten and another brand at the same time. I put them in bowls side by side and my new kitten passes this one up and devours the other brand. So I guess he is more picky than I thought.

Great for mom and kittens
By Scarletta on Oct 14, 2020
Mom and all 3 kittens took to it immediately. Seems to agree with them and I like the extra vitamin C it has in it.

Excellent quality food, but...
By VickiD on Mar 13, 2020
I had high hopes my 2 kittens would like this, but they didn't. I'm not going to rule it out, & will reintroduce it at a later time. I love the brand, & would love to see the little ones eventually eat it. I sure wish Chewy's sold sample bags. :(

Foster Kitty Family
By Nikki on Nov 20, 2019
Hey I was fostering a momma cat and her 4 kittens for our local humane society cat shelter, and this is what finally started putting some weight back on the momma cat. Kittens did well with it too. The smaller pieces made it easier for them to eat when they were being weaned.

No go for my felines
By Grace22 on Mar 19, 2020
Neither of my felines will eat this food which is a big bummer.

Natural Balance Whole Body kitten food
By Andysfaves on Sep 29, 2019
I recently switched over to this brand of cat food and my 8 month old tabby cat, loved it. The quality ingredients were the reason for our switch and our kitty is loving the taste and getting all the right vitamins and nutrients to actively grow. We will be sticking with Natural Balance cat food!

My kittens love this food!
By CatDad on Aug 21, 2019
This food seemed the most nutritionally balanced after we spent hours combing through options, and my kittens actually prefer this dry food over their wet food! We use it with an automatic feeder and it makes keeping our kids fed and happy much easier.
