Directions for Mixing: Gently stir or shake one part powdered KMR into two parts warm water (a part may be a teaspoon, tablespoon or cup). Do not mix more KMR than can be consumed in 24 hours. Do not use a blender. Reconstituted KMR should be kept refrigerated.
Directions for Feeding: All kittens should receive their mother’s milk for at least 2 days, if possible. The colostrum milk gives extra nutrition and temporary immunity against some diseases. Warm reconstituted KMR to room or body temperature before serving. Feed kittens 2 tablespoons of liquid KMR per 4 oz of body weight daily. The daily feeding amount should be divided into equal portions for each feeding. Kittens' needs will vary and this amount may have to be increased or decreased, depending on the individual. Young and/or weak kittens should be fed every 3 to 4 hours. Older kittens can do well being fed every 8 hours. Weigh the kittens daily to assure adequate feeding. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice. When kittens are old enough to lap, begin offering reconstituted KMR in a saucer. During the 6th week mix reconstituted KMR with KMR 2nd Step Kitten Weaning Food. Use of the KMR and 2nd Step will allow the kitten to be gradually switched to solid food.
Pregnant and lactating queens: Feed 2 teaspoons of KMR powder per 5 lbs of body weight daily.
Growing kittens already on solid food, show cats and/or convalescing cats: Feed 1 teaspoon of KMR powder per 5 lbs of body weight daily by top dressing food.
Unopened powder should be kept in a cool, dry place. Reconstituted KMR must be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Opened powder can be refrigerated for up to 3 months, or can be frozen for up to 6 months to preserve freshness.
Why should I include vitamins & supplements in my pet’s diet?
Most commercial pet foods include baseline vitamins and nutrients, but some may not have the adequate amount to suit your pet’s exact health needs. Like in humans, vitamins and supplements can help support your pet’s long-term health, regulating everything from digestion to muscle growth. Consult your veterinarian to determine the best vitamins and supplements for your furry friend.
How often should I give this supplement to my pet?
It is recommended to give the suggested dosage based off your pet’s weight. Please refer to the Feeding Instructions tab and consult with your veterinarian for more information.
Is this supplement safe to use with the medication my pet is currently taking?
If your pet has a medical condition and is taking other medication, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian to ensure that this supplement is safe to use.

good but can be slumpy
By vanessa6297 on Nov 5, 2021
I've used KMR for years when I had younger kittens. It works well and my kittens thrived with it. I did notice that the powder consistency tends to vary from can to can. Some cans always mix smoothly while others may clump or bind when mixing. I also wish the mixing directions were direct and not lost in a sea of text. Besides that, the product works well and my kittens love it.

Kittens still love it
By Donald on Oct 11, 2021
Initially the two kittens would not drink the KMR, preferring to nurse from mom. Once she weaned them they readily took to the milk substitute, as well as solid food (and try to eat meat, each other, and my toes). Since they seem to prefer the adult canned food over the kitten food I will continue to give them KMR until they are pretty much grown.

Foster, Fosters, Fosters
By Denie on Sep 29, 2021
I foster kittens for our local Humane Society. At present I have 10 babies. I often do not get the mommas with them. I use a lot of KMR supplement, either to feed or supplement these little ones. I love this product. It's easy to mix & the kittens & occasional adult nursing momma love the flavor. I feel it gets them off to a good start.

Fostering/TNR
By Kittens on Sep 29, 2021
We purchase KMR and kitten good for the stray kittens we've trapped in our neighborhood. We've fostered several to get them fixed, shots, and adopted. If we cannot get them socialized we release them to their territory. We depend on products from Chewy to continue to provide nutrition to the babies and ttheir mama's.

Stays lumpy
By Catmilk on Oct 30, 2021
I’ve tried both the liquid and the powder and I like the liquid better. The powder, no matter how much you shake or stir it stays lumpy, little balls of powder. Not happy with it

This is strange stuff
By Susan on Jul 13, 2021
This is the first time I ordered this product. It’s not a dry powder, it seems to be moist. It just floated on top of the water. I mixed it with a fork then put the lid on the jar and shook it. The next morning it was all full of clumps when I went to feed my kitten. I mashed the clumps with a fork and shook it some more. I doubt it will go thru the nipple so I put it in a dish for him and hope he can chew/lap it up.

Shelter asked for donations
By Dogmama on Aug 13, 2021
Our local shelter is still in the midst of kitten season and has many in foster homes. They asked for donations of this item to support the kitties, so it recommended by them. That's good enough for me. Chewy makes it easy for me to purchase and ship direct to them.

A few issues
By Cassie on Jun 7, 2021
I gave three stars because the kittens needed milk and this worked okay. I ran into two issues. 1. My powder came smashed since it was shipped with a bag of litter. No a huge deal and Chewy was super great to work with and did everything to make it right. I just wish the can was sturdier to begin with. 2. No matter how much I whisked, shook, and mixed, or what order I put the formula into the water, it would not fully incorporate. It always stayed gritty and had lumps at the bottom of the bowl I mixed it in. Since I could never get it fully mixed, I felt like the kittens weren't getting enough nutrients, so I had to switch back to the canned premixed KMR which is a little more $$ but way less I gave three stars because the kittens needed milk and this worked okay.
