Daily Feeding Guide

Helpful Tips
• For kittens/pregnant cats: begin by feeding the suggested daily amount. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
• For nursing cats: keep food available at all times.
• Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
• Keep fresh water available at all times!
• We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year for regular health check-ups.
• Your pet's nutritional needs change with each lifestage. Continue to give her the same precise and balanced nutrition by transitioning your kitten to one of the Hill's® Science Diet® Adult cat foods once she reaches 1 year of age.
• Science Diet Kitten is available in Healthy Development Ocean Fish & Rice Recipe and Indoor dry food varieties. Canned kitten food is also available from Science Diet in a variety of delicious textures and flavors that your cat will love.
