Feeding your kitten: How much and how often?
Feeding requirements vary greatly from one kitten to another and feeding the right amount of kitten food at the proper intervals can be a challenge. Start with the feeding guides on the food can or bag but that is just the beginning. Your kitten’s physical condition should be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed.
Discuss with your veterinarian how often your kitten should be evaluated and the best feeding method for your kitten:
Free Choice: Food is always available. Time-Limited Feeding: Food is available for a limited amount of time. Meal Feeding: A measured amount is available at scheduled times each day.

Choosing the right food for your kitten
All kittens need the basics – high quality kitten food, time to sleep and play, and lots of love – but kittens have individual needs too. Your kitten needs precise levels of essential nutrients to stay her healthiest throughout life. A ‘one size fits all’ approach to nutrition just won’t work. Improper feeding can increase your kitten's risk of obesity, poor muscle and bone development, and poor immune response. She needs a kitten food to provide taurine and other nutrients for proper growth and development. These can be found in all Hill’s® Science Diet® Kitten foods

    Healthy food and kitten gobbles it down. I personally like the approach Science Diet takes to balanced nutritional, even if the food is not all organic or natural. Good product, great price, and kitty loves the food!

    Approved of by all my felines!

    I bought this for an elderly cat with health problems who needs to gain weight, coincidentally I have a new kitten as well. All 4 of my cats love this food, none like the wet food. This is now their forever food.

    Works great

    My two kittens have sensitive stomachs so my Vet recommended Science Diet. It helped them and I could not be any more pleased. It is worth the price to see the results of happy pets that are healthy.

    Pretty Good, there are better choices for some.

    This food is much better than cheap store brand type kibble, however while a cut above most it still has ingredients that I would not see in the Premium Brands such as Wellness, Ivo and such.
    For the increase in price from the cheap stuff it is much better for the little sweeties. It is a very good compromise.
    I foster kittens all the time and most of them love the stuff and their coats are very shiny.

    My cats really like it

    Fortunately, my kittens have had no ill behaviors while eating this food like the previous reviewers cat. I mixed this in with my Purina Kitten Chow that my kittens were eating and the kittens seemed to really love it. My other two, one year old cats were also fond of “stealing” the kittens dry food instead of their usual Iams (where real chicken is the main ingredient), so this must be tasty. Usually, I just feed my cats dry food on a free choice basis and supplement with canned cat food and boiled chicken meat. My only gripe is this isn’t a dry food that someone on a strict budget could likely readily afford on a regular basis for a number of cats. Otherwise, this is a good quality kitten food.

    My kitten loves it

    This is a healthy and great kitten food. Only 4 stars,, as it might help if different flavours could be found – kitten and cats do get bored with the same food.

    Good Food

    My cat likes them. I think.. I hope. I used to give her Fancy Feast and that gave her diarrhea. I switched her to this and she tolerates it well.

    Nourishes my Kitten Beautifully!

    When I received my kitten, he was already on this food. I did check out a couple other types of food, but found this to be the best for my kitten’s overall health needs & he is quite content with it.
