FAQs
Is Acana First Feast only for kittens?
While it is specifically crafted for the growth and development of kittens, the formula meets the nutritional requirements for all life stages, meaning it is safe for adults to consume as well.
What are WholePrey ratios?
WholePrey refers to the inclusion of meat, organs, cartilage, and bone in the food, which mimics the natural diet of ancestral cats and provides a broad spectrum of nutrients.
How do I store the food?
Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed completely between feedings to prevent oxidation and loss of flavor.
Does this food contain grain?
This recipe includes whole oats, which serve as a source of energy and fiber for growing kittens.
Can I feed this to a nursing mother?
Yes, because it is formulated for all life stages and contains the necessary extra protein and energy required for nursing queens, it is an appropriate choice.
Troubleshooting
Kitten has loose stool after switching
The transition was likely too fast. Slow down the introduction of the new food and mix it with a higher ratio of the previous brand for a longer period.
Kitten refuses to eat the kibble
Try adding a small amount of warm water to the bowl to release the aroma of the proteins, or consult your vet to rule out dental discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin feeding, perform a 7-day transition: mix 25% Acana with 75% of the old food for two days, move to 50/50 for the next three days, and then 75% Acana for the final two days before moving to 100%.
Always ensure your kitten has access to clean, fresh water at all times, as dry food requires adequate hydration for proper digestion. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and keep it tightly sealed to maintain the freshness and crispness of the kibble. Since this is a high-protein diet, monitor your kitten's body condition and adjust portions according to activity level as recommended by your veterinarian.
