NATURAL CHOICE® Kitten Chicken Rice Dry Cat Food

Kitten Formula

Cats know exactly what they need to be healthy and happy. And so do we. In fact, NATURAL CHOICE^® Cat food delivers the nutritional balance that cats intuitively seek from their diet. We call this the Ideal Nutrient Balance. Developed by WALTHAM, THE WORLD’S LEADING AUTHORITY ON PET CARE AND NUTRITION^®, Ideal Nutrient Balance is the perfect mix of protein, fat and carbohydrates along with essential vitamins and minerals to give cats the balanced nutrition and satisfaction they naturally desire every day. Of course, cats don’t think in terms of nutrients, they just know what they love and need.

Highly Concentrated Source of Protein

Chicken meal is made from chicken that’s cooked to remove the water and fat – leaving a dry, highly concentrated source of protein that’s ideal for cats. And because we use such high levels of protein-rich chicken meal in our cat food formulas, it’s the #1 ingredient inside each and every bag. Chicken meal does not contain chicken heads, feet or intestines – which may be found in products that use something called chicken by-product meal

Feeding Guidelines

Begin weaning your kitten at 4-5 weeks by offering NATURAL CHOICE^® Kitten Food moistened with water. At 6 weeks, feed your kitten according to the chart below. For kittens, we recommend a portion-controlled feeding regimen. Divide the suggested daily amount into 3 or more feedings per day. At 3 months, the daily amount should be divided into 2 feedings – morning and evening. To realize all of the benefits the NATURAL CHOICE^® Cat brand has to offer, you should make it your kitten’s only source of nutrition. After 1 year, your kitten is an adult and should be fed NATURAL CHOICE^® Adult Cat Food.
