Reproduction: NutriSource Cat & Kitten Chicken & Rice Recipe contains the nutrients essential for females in gestation and lactation. During gestation and lactation, food consumption may increase 2 - 4 times during this period.

Feeding Kittens: Begin feeding moistened NutriSource Cat & Kitten Chicken & Rice Recipe at 3 - 4 weeks of age. Continue feeding moistened food until kittens are able to chew easily. Kittens will consume 2 - 3 times the volume of food that an adult cat of the same weight would consume. Divide the daily ration for kittens into 3 - 4 feedings per day. Adjust the quantity to make sure kittens have food available at all times. After kittens reach adult weight, feed according to the guidelines chart.

Switching Your Cat To NutriSource: For easiest adjustment, mix increasing amounts of NutriSource Cat & Kitten Chicken & Rice Recipe with decreasing amounts of your cat's current food over a 5-day period, until you are feeding only NutriSource. Adjust as needed for age and activity level.

Amount of food consumed will vary based on activity level, age, breed and environment. Standard 8 oz (250 cc) measuring cup holds approximately 4.1 oz (116 gram) of NutriSource Cat & Kitten Chicken & Rice Recipe At 2 - 3M and again at about 6M, your kitten will naturally reduce the amount consumed. This is due to a natural reduction in growth rate and the reduced need for calories. Consult your veterinarian if you believe your cat is too thin or overweight. Remember it is important to have clean, fresh water available for your kitten/cat at all times.
