Arden Grange Kitten Food, Chicken, 2kg

Arden Grange Kitten – Grain Free Fresh Chicken & Potato, 2kg

Arden Grange build this one round two things a growing kitten actually needs: calories in a small volume, and a kibble small enough to get hold of. They describe it as a grain free complete diet for weaning kittens through to twelve months, with chicken as the protein a kitten will reliably eat.

It also does duty for breeders, because Arden Grange list it as suitable for pregnant and lactating queens, whose energy demands look far more like a kitten's than an adult cat's. Potato carries the carbohydrate in place of cereals, and Arden Grange mark the recipe as high protein.

Performance & Benefits

• Small kibble size, specified by Arden Grange to suit smaller mouths.
• Calorie-dense, so a kitten gets what it needs without a bowl it cannot empty.
• Grain free — Arden Grange add no cereals or grain to this recipe.
• Carries Arden Grange's high protein marking.
• Balanced vitamins and minerals for growth, rather than left to the meat content.
• Arden Grange state the range carries no added fillers, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, and no wheat gluten, soya or dairy.

Suitable For

• Kittens from weaning through to twelve months old.
• Pregnant and lactating queens, which Arden Grange name specifically.
• Litters being weaned onto solids, where kibble size decides whether it gets eaten.
• Households already feeding the Arden Grange grain free cat range, so the changeover at a year is a small one.
• Too rich for a settled adult cat — move to the Arden Grange Adult Cat Grain Free Fresh Chicken and Potato at twelve months, or the Light version for an indoor or neutered cat.

Feeding

• Feed dry as a complete food, with fresh drinking water always available.
• Arden Grange publish a kitten feeding chart by age and bodyweight, printed on the bag and shown as a chart on their own site.
• Young kittens do better on several small meals a day than on two large ones.
• For weaning, moisten the kibble with warm water at first and dry it off over a week or two.
• Move onto an adult food at around twelve months, over seven to ten days.
