Feeding guide
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITTENS:
Kittens start to nibble solid food at 3 to 4 weeks of age. PRO PLAN KITTEN STARTER should be introduced at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Product should be mixed with lukewarm water (50-60°C maximum) to preserve the nutrients' quality and to make eating easier.
Refer to Feeding Table. At 5 to 6 weeks start reducing the amount of water added until the kitten is able to eat dry kibble. Serve 2-3 daily meals or ad libitum. After weaning, PRO PLAN can be fed moistened or dry.
To help your pet maintain an ideal body condition, monitor your pet’s weight on a regular basis, making sure that their ribs are easily felt and their waist is visible when viewed from above. Feeding quantities required to maintain ideal body condition will vary, depending on age, activity and environment. Watch your kitten's weight and adjust food amounts accordingly. Maintaining an ideal body condition can impact your pet’s lifelong health.
Once your kitten has reached 6 months of age, transition to PRO PLAN Kitten food. Mix in or complement with Pro Plan Kitten Wet Food for a texture that’s sure to please even the fussiest of eaters.
RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT AND NURSING QUEENS.
Feeding for reproduction: PRO PLAN® KITTEN STARTER provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation.

By choosing to feed your cat PRO PLAN® you can be reassured that our tailored nutrition will have a positive impact on your cat’s long-term health and well-being. Although you will be keen to see the difference PRO PLAN® can make in your cat, please allow 7 – 10 days to transition from their current food. This enables your cat’s digestive enzymes to gradually adapt to the change in ingredient and nutritional content, assisting with the proper digestion of the food and helping prevent stomach upsets. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more of PRO PLAN® until you are feeding PRO PLAN® exclusively.
Always have fresh, clean water available.
