Pet Food Review: Naturals Cat & Kitten Chow

Natural is now being promoted for dogs and cats as the healthier way to go when feeding your beloved pets. Cancer has been on the rise, not just in the human population but in the pet world as well. Having lost a dog to Cancer I'm beginning to get a bit more concerned about what to feed my animals. I'm checking out several new holistic versions of pet food for my dogs as well as for the kittens I'm fostering.

Purina Cat Chow now makes Naturals. They make it designed for kittens as well, Kitten chow, and it provides essential nutrition for the kittens first year, their formative year. It's 100% complete nutritionally and balanced for that first year of growth. It has all the essential nutrients as well as antioxidants to protect the kittten's immune system. I particularly like that the first ingredeint listed is real salmon (or chicken) depending on the variety. Purina Natural contain no artificial falvoars or preservatives, another important aspect.

It is very high protein for muscle development. It has the appropriate calories for proper body growth and added rice for ease of digestion. It contains natural fiber to prevent and control hairball. The size of the morsels are designed especially for kittens, they certainly think of everything. This makes it much easier for the kittens to chew. The kibbles are nutrient rich so there is a good source of nutritoin in every bite. It has calcium and minerals for strong bone growth which is very important at these early stages. Taurein is included for a healthy heart and bright eyes. The protein system supports muscle and immune system development. Just like with a child you want to give your pet a strong, healthy start in life with the best, most nutritious food available. Purina is a well respected company and they put a lot of research into developing a healthy chow for kittens.

When providing for a young kitten you should feed it or them 1/2 to 1 oz of kibble 3 to 4 times a day if they are 3-6 weeks old. The kibble should be lightly moistened at first with arm, not hot water. You offer one part water to three parts kibble. I don't usually get the kittens until they are weaned at about age six weeks. I also prefer to leave food out all day as they are grazers. Always be sure they have adequate celan fresh water. I use a dispenser that can be found at any pet shop. I also offer them wet food as well. When I first get them, if they are old enough I will give them a wee bit of chicken. This helps them bond with me since I become the provider of wonderfulness in their eyes. This is also a great way to introduce children to them if you are bringing them home to a family.

When fostering or just coming home with a new kitten the routines you establish are crucial. They can shape the kittens personality for a lifetime of relationships that's why we try to foster out all our orphan kittens. Play develops their skills and the more human contact the better.
