FEEDING KITTENS
Kittens generally nibble solid foods at 3-4 weeks of age. Keep moistened Purina® Kitten Chow® Advanced Nutrition for Kittens available to these kittens at all times. Just add one part liquid to three parts Purina® Kitten Chow® Advanced Nutrition for Kittens, changing frequently to ensure freshness. After weaning, at 6-8 weeks of age, kittens will normally eat dry or moistened food at will. Start a self-feeding program, leaving food in dish at all times. Feeding amounts should be adjusted as necessary to help your kitten maintain an ideal body condition. Because kittens continue to develop throughout their first year, it's important that they get the extra nutrition of Purina® Kitten Chow® Advanced Nutrition for Kittens for a full 12 months. After one year of age, transition to the Purina® Cat Chow® formula that's right for your cat.
FEEDING FOR REPRODUCTION
Purina® Kitten Chow® Advanced Nutrition for Kittens provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's good body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.
FEEDING TIP
Changes in your cat's diet should be made gradually to allow your cat to become accustomed to a new food. Substitute small amounts of the new food for the old food, gradually increasing the amount of the new food while decreasing the old food, over a period of 7 - 10 days. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
Provide adequate fresh water in a clean bowl daily.
For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.

Good starter food
It's the perfect size for kittens and they love the taste. Its my goto food for my fur babies!
Kitten's First Year
I foster many kitten who are born and live in the waste management facility (Garbage Dump). Even more than house pets these little darlings are lacking the nutrition they need in the early years. Momma's also have poor nutrition. So, I depend on Kitten Chow to provide them with the nutrition they need to make them healthy, before they go to their forever homes, away for the dump
Rey Loves
Our 5 month old kitten, Rey, loves Purina Kitten Chow. We have tried her a a few different brands including some much more expensive ones but this is the one she loves the best. She is doing so well on it and the vet says she's a perfectly healthy little kitten.
Excellent Nutrition
We have four cats of our own and also care for a feral colony. For our ferals, we use Purina Kitten Chow when there are kittens born or there is a cat/cats that need extra nutrition. The kittens and full-grown cats love the flavour and the pieces are small enough for a kitten's little mouth.
One example of a time Kitten Chow was used in our family involves a feral cat we have with us now. Soleil (orange cat) and her brother Smokey were born in the fall of 2014. They ate Kitten Chow and grew into healthy adult feral cats. We do our best to tame, capture and spay/neuter all of our ferals.
On March 11 of this year, we were bringing Soleil in to be spayed. She escaped from her carrier in the parking lot of the veterinary hospital, 32 km (20 miles) from home. She was lost in the city; this is a feral cat that never strayed further than the field beside our house in the country. 56 days later, a woman found a very small, very hungry cat and contacted one of the local rescues. Soleil was recognized from the lost cat notifications and we were contacted. A trap was set and she was caught the next night and was brought home to her colony on May 6.
Soleil was very thin and very dirty, but extremely happy to be home. We have once again been feeding her Kitten Chow to help her regain her strength and give her the nutrients she needs after 2 months on the street with no food other than what she could scavenge.
She is eating her Kitten Chow and her fur is becoming soft and glossy again, she is putting on weight and regaining her strength and health.
I cannot recommend this food enough - it is one of the best foods out there for kittens, but it also helps cats that have been unwell and need some extra nutrition.
