Kitten Chicken FAQs

A: Serving up tasty kibbles of crunchy goodness, especially designed for kitten-sized mouths, is the easiest way to provide your growing kitten with a complete, balanced diet that’s been developed just for them.

Burgess Kitten Chicken has a unique recipe that contains highly digestible proteins and essential amino acids to help build muscle, calcium to support developing bones and teeth, antioxidants to support your kitten’s immune system, and essential fatty acids to support healthy skin and a shiny coat. And all this nourishment is contained in delicious kitten-sized kibbles!

Unlike wet kitten food, dry kitten food stays fresh inside the pack until you’re ready to serve it to your young cat. And that’s not all! Other benefits include:

Free feeding – As dry food can be left out because it won’t spoil, this suits young cats who show a preference for grazing their food over the day rather than at specific mealtimes.
Helpful for healthy teeth – Munching on crunchy kibble encourages chewing and helps to keep teeth clean.
Makes feeding more fun – Dry food is easier to use with food dispensers and puzzle toys, providing environmental enrichment and mental stimulation. Feeding games can help your small cat gain confidence as they begin to explore the world around them.
Portion control – By following the on-pack instructions, it’s easy to measure out exactly the right sized portion to help your young cat maintain a healthy weight.

A: Kittens have different nutritional needs to a fully grown cat. It’s been estimated that kittens grow at roughly 15 times the rate of a human baby and so need a diet that’s high in energy, boosted with extra minerals and vitamins, to support that rapid growth. Choosing a high quality, complete kitten food will ensure your young cat gets all the essential nutrients they need for the very best start in life.

A: Kittens can start to enjoy Burgess Kitten Chicken from when they are around three weeks old. Feed very small amounts at first, softened with water or special kitten milk (not dairy milk) and mashed up, served in a shallow bowl. Gradually increase the amount they eat as they grow.

By eight weeks, kittens should have almost all of their baby teeth and be eating mostly solid food.

Every young cat is an individual and will have their own feeding preferences – which they will no doubt let you know about! However, because kittens have small stomachs, they need to be fed little and often:

Kittens aged 8 to 12 weeks need four meals a day
Kittens aged between 3 and 6-months old need three meals a day
Kittens over 6 months old need two meals a day

When your young cat reaches their first birthday, it’s time to move them onto adult cat food, which is suitable for cats from 12 months, up to seven years.

By following the on-pack instructions, it’s easy to measure out exactly the right sized portion that’s suitable for your young cat’s age and lifestyle. For instance, house cats may need less calories than cats who spend much of their day roaming outdoors.

The golden rule is don’t guestimate – measure out accurate portions. Giving your young cat a little more than they need means they could become overweight. If you don’t feed enough, your young cat will not be getting all the nutrients they need and will become underweight.

Supplying plenty of fresh water is important too, in a separate place to your kitten’s feeding area. Lots of cats aren’t keen on drinking water from a bowl, preferring moving water to still – so it may be worth investing in a cat fountain if you don’t want them drinking from a dripping tap!
