Product Information

Feeding Directions: When you first bring your kitten home, she will be under a great deal of stress due to the change in environment. This stress may cause digestive upset. To avoid the further stress of a change in diet, make any change gradually. Start with a small amount of Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula in place of your kitten’s current food. Then, over the next week to 10 days, increase the amount of Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula, while decreasing the amount of his or her other food, until your kitten has 100% Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula in his bowl.

Kittens have special nutritional needs during their first year and should have their own special food to meet those needs. Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula provides concentrated nutrition with all the protein, vitamins, and other nutrients an active kitten needs, as well as optimum levels of fat, energy and calcium for their developing bones and teeth. Crunchy pieces provide great taste, excellent chewing exercise, and help clean teeth. Because kittens continue to develop throughout their first year, it’s important to provide the complete and balanced nutrition in Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula for a full 12 months.

Feed your kitten an amount that will provide steady optimal growth without becoming overweight. This food intake will vary depending on age, activity level, environment, and other stress factors. Please adjust your kitten’s feeding amount using the information below as a guide.

Remember to provide plenty of fresh water in a clean container at all times. Regular visits to your veterinarian and exercise are strongly recommended to help ensure your kitten’s good health.

Feeding Guidelines For Kittens Note: Amounts are based on a standard 8 ounce dry measuring cup.

3 to 6 Weeks: Daily Amount: 1/4 - 1/3 cup. Divide this amount into 3 to 4 servings throughout the day. After 3 to 4 weeks on mother’s milk, kittens can begin to eat solid food moistened with warm water. Just add 1 part warm water to 3 parts Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula.

7 to 24 Weeks: Daily Amount: 1/3 to 2/3 cup. Divide this amount into 3 to 4 servings throughout the day. After 6 to 8 weeks, your kitten can eat either dry or moist food. Start a self-feeding program leaving Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula in a dish at all times.

25 to 52 Weeks: Daily Amount: 1/2 to 2/3 cup per day. Divide this into 2 servings throughout the day.

Feeding Guidelines for Reproduction: Natural Ultramix Kitten Formula provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing female cats in stages of gestation and lactation. Food intake may vary during gestation so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female’s good body condition. During lactation, food intake may double or even quadruple.

What is DHA? DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for neural development. It is a major structural component of the brain as well as the most abundant fatty acid in the brain. It plays a vital role in the development of the central nervous system and retinal function.

Prior to weaning, kittens get DHA from their mother. Mothers transfer DHA from their body tissues to their offspring during pregnancy and lactation. After weaning, kittens can obtain DHA for continuing neural development through their diet.
