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!
When using with canned food, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
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.
To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and children.
