Always provide dry food and fresh water. I feed my kittens "Mama and Baby Cat" dry food from Royal Canin until they are 4 months old. They receive wet food three times a day, including SHEEBA and NULO for fish, and Purina Friskies Liver & Chicken Dinner. I’ve found some combinations don’t sit well with certain kittens. I also give them raw beef, chicken, and bonito flakes every other day. By the time they go home, they have tried all these foods. Remember, dry food should only be for emergencies. Good food leads to healthy kittens.

How to Introduce New Food to a Kitten

When introducing new food to a kitten, it's essential to do so gradually to avoid upsetting their stomach. Follow this step-by-step process to transition their diet smoothly:

1. Week 1:

   • Mix 1/3 new food with 2/3 old food in their meals for the entire week.

2. Week 2:

   • Increase the ratio to 2/3 new food and 1/3 old food for another week.

3. Observation:

   • Monitor your kitten for any adverse reactions such as diarrhea or vomiting during the transition period.

4. Full Transition:

   • If there are no adverse reactions after the two-week transition period, you can then feed your kitten the new food exclusively.

By gradually introducing new food following this method, you can help your kitten adjust to their new diet comfortably.
