FAQs
At what age should I stop feeding my cat kitten food?
You should generally feed this until your kitten reaches 12 months of age, or until they have been neutered, at which point you may need to transition to an adult maintenance diet.
Can I feed this to my adult cat?
This food is formulated specifically for the high-energy needs of growing kittens and nursing mothers. It may cause excessive weight gain if fed long-term to an inactive adult cat.
Are there artificial additives in this food?
No, the formula uses natural antioxidants such as tocopherols, rosemary extract, and vitamin C, and contains no artificial colors or flavors.
Is this suitable for a pregnant queen?
Yes, the nutrient-dense formula is excellent for supporting both pregnant and lactating queens, as it provides the extra energy required for gestation and nursing.
Does this food help with hairballs?
While not specifically a hairball formula, the inclusion of fiber sources like psyllium husk and cellulose powder can support overall digestive health and regularity.
How should I store the 400g bag?
Keep the bag in a cool, dark, and dry area. Ensure it is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation of the natural fats.
Troubleshooting
Kitten is refusing the new food.
Try slightly moistening the kibble with a small amount of warm water or mixing in a small portion of wet food to enhance the aroma.
Loose stools during transition.
Slow down the transition process by reverting to a larger percentage of the previous diet for a few more days.
Kitten seems overweight.
Consult the feeding guide on the packaging and ensure you are using a standard kitchen scale rather than a volume scoop to guarantee accurate portions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing Specific FPD Kitten Dry Food, it is recommended to gradually transition your kitten over a 7-day period to prevent digestive upset. Start by mixing 25% new food with 75% of their previous diet, slowly increasing the ratio over the week. Always provide a fresh, clean bowl of water nearby, as dry food consumption requires adequate hydration. Store the product in a cool, dry place and keep the bag tightly sealed between feedings to preserve the natural antioxidants and ensure the kibble remains crunchy and appetizing. Consult your veterinarian for precise daily gram measurements based on your kitten's current weight and activity levels.
