PRO PLAN Kitten - Starter - Salmon & Tuna Dry Cat Food

PRO PLAN Kitten - Starter - Salmon & Tuna Dry Cat Food

Nurture your Queen and her kittens with PRO PLAN® Kitten Starter. This specialised formula supports both mum and kittens through pregnancy, nursing, and weaning. Colostrum boosts  immunity, while high protein fuels growth and energy. Salmon and Tuna are the main ingredients to please the fussiest of eaters in the litter. To make the transition from milk smoother, simply rehydrate our starter kibble with warm water. This transforms it into a palatable paste for tiny mouths.

Welcoming a new litter of kittens into the world is a special time. But it can also be very demanding on a mother cat, both physically and nutritionally.

As she nears the end of her 65-day gestation period, her energy demands rise. We developed PRO PLAN® Kitten Starter to meet these demands, while giving her kittens all they for a healthy start.

It's a high protein (43%) diet that provides healthy fuel for maternal energy and kitten growth. We've selected Salmon and Tuna as  protein sources, so that even a Dam with morning sickness will want to tuck in.

When weaned from mum's milk, a litter's immunity starts to deplete. Fortified with Colostrum, our starter formula will give their immune system a much needed boost while it's maturing.

PRO PLAN® Kitten Starter formula is brimming with other crucial nutrients to constitute a balanced diet. Essential vitamins and minerals help build strong bones and teeth for a lifetime of play. And DHA nourishes their developing brains for a bright and curious future.

And with no added artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, PRO PLAN is nutrition you can trust to nurture your feline family.
