Ways To Encourage A Newly Weaned Kitten To Eat More

Kittens usually start eating at 6-8 weeks old. They are weaned from the milk and should start eating solid food. It is best to give them various kinds of food at a young age so they can develop their preference. Let them discover the different textures, types, and shapes of food. 

When it seems that the kitten won’t eat kibble, you can change the shape from what you usually serve. Or you can alternate offering dry and wet food. When the food is appealing, you can get the kitten to eat. Some of the choices could be stewed, in broth, pate, or various kibble shapes. Choose food with a strong smell because this is more appealing for cats. 

Cats also like to eat warm food. To get your cat to eat more wet food, you should ensure that it is at room temperature or a bit warmer. The added heat makes the food more appetizing for cats. 

Do consult your veterinarian Fredericksburg TX before making any changes to your pet’s diet.
