A new kitten is placing their trust and healthcare in the hands of their new owner in the hope that they will give them care and attention and recognise their nutritional needs.

Quality ingredients in kitten’s pet food along with the essential vitamins and amino acids make a large difference to their lean body as they develop into fully grown up adult cats.

Once a kitten is weaned form its mother cat their body grows at a rapid rate so a balanced cat diet will deliver the important nutrients to sustain a kitten’s energy levels, right up to being an adult cat.
The required nutrients gained from quality pet food are double to the ones required by a fully grown adult cat. However a kitten has only a small mouth, therefore limited by the amount of food he or she can consume in one meal.

Small portions of food given three or four times a day on a cat diet is far better than overfeeding, or leaving not enough food in a cat bowl.
Kitten food is animal protein based food and is highly digestible with the correct amount of added nutrients to meet a kitten’s nutritional needs.

In many of the papers and magazines there are articles written about pet owners deciding to take on the role of cooking for cats or puppies.
Nutrition has to be balanced for good healthcare and even with the best of intentions some nutritional requirements required for healthy development, strong muscles and bones may be lost.
Whatever the choice of pet diet that you choose for your kitten or adult cat there has to be plenty of fresh water available at all times, day and night.

At Hills Pets we take great pride in our extensive range of balanced and nutritional pet food.
