|  Kittens
Newly weaned kittens can be offered Natural
Balance® Ultra Premium Dry Cat Food moistened
with warm water. You can also mix in Natural Balance®
Canned Cat Food for ease of feeding. Kittens
should be fed free choice to promote healthy growth
and adequate weight gain. Food intake requirement may
vary depending on age, activity, and environment, and
should be adjusted accordingly.
 We
recommend that you do not add vitamins, minerals or
any other supplements, except upon the advice of a veterinarian.
When switching your cat’s diet, the change should
be made gradually, by replacing the current food with
increasing portions of Natural Balance® Ultra Premium
Cat Food. The change should be completed after 5 to 7 days. The maintenance of proper body weight is most
important for your cat’s health. Consult your veterinarian
for specific weight recommendations for your cat. Remember,
fresh clean water should be available at all times!
The
Adult Cat Adult
cats should be fed either once or twice per day. When
you first start feeding Natural Balance® Dry Cat
Food, we suggest to start with the amounts recommended
in the Suggested Feeding Guidelines Table on the page
of the formula you are using. Energy requirements vary
with environmental conditions, temperature and activity
of your cat. The amount of food should always be adjustable
to suit your cat’s needs. If you would like to
provide a special treat for your cat, you can add small
amounts of Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food.
 The
Pregnant Queen Gestating and lactating Queens
will consume more food, usually 2 to 3 times the recommended
amounts for adult cats daily.
The
Older Cat As your cat begins to age, his
energy expenditure will decrease. Decreasing the amount
of food accordingly will allow for the maintenance of
proper body weight for less active cats. Older cats are
sometimes more reluctant to eat hard foods. Adding larger
amounts of Natural Balance® Canned Cat Food will
make the most "finicky" eater enjoy their
daily meals.
Remember,
food intake requirement may vary depending on age, activity,
and environment, and should be adjusted accordingly.
As always, please consult your veterinarian for more
information. |

Van Patten's Natural Balance® Ultra Premium and
L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets® Cat Food is made
for All Life Stages and provides premium nutrition for
kittens to adults. In Nature, your pets would
not have the choice of kitten formulas, nor lighter
formulas for their senior years; they would simply live
on a diet of mostly meat and and some grain. In a natural
free environment, animals instinctively eat more or
less, depending on their age and activity level.
