Q: I have been feeding my kitten this 7 weeks to now 7 months. I assume it's ok to keep the kitten food in his diet until 12 months and then switch to adult?

submitted by CD - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. We typically recommend switching over to an adult formula once a kitten has reached mature growth. This is usually around a year old but if unsure, please make sure to check with your veterinarian. Large breed cats, like the Maine Coon, can take 18 to 24 months to reach maturity. We hope this helps!

    If you have picky kittens I suggest this to fatten them up a bit. It works for some.

    Picky Kitten Approved

    I found a feral kitten last year. I tried a couple brands of dry food and she just wouldn't eat it/wasn't thriving. She'd eat a bite or two and then just wait for her canned food. I finally read labels of the dry foods that were available in my local store and I liked the ingredients on the Blue Buffalo best. I'm a bit broke, but I was already madly in love with this spicy little calico kitten and I wanted her to thrive. I paid a little more and I bought a bag of Blue Buffalo Tastefuls Kitten food and left it on my entryway bench. I was going to start her on it when her bowl was empty. I woke up the next morning to find a very round kitten and a hole chewed in the bag. And it didn't give her diarrhea. This year, her mom left us 4 more kittens and they are absolutely going on Blue Buffalo Tastefuls Kitten. When they are old enough to neuter and rehome, they will be sent off with a bag each.

    The Winner

    Peter and his sister Tigger love their Blue Tastefuls, she trying to get the first bite and both happily indulging every morning once their bowls are freshly cleaned and refilled. I cannot be more thankful.

    I'm sure the food is fine, but I wouldn't know. Target poorly packaged this item and it ripped everywhere. At no point was I then going to feed my kitten. Wrote to them about this and they did nothing about it.

    My kitten is OBSESSED with this food. Nine weeks after adopting her from the pound her vet couldn’t believe how health her coat looks & how much weight she’s gained, in a good way.

    Great taste equals happy cats.

    I have the pickiest cats and it is difficult to find a product they will eat. I’ve finally found a food that they ALL love. They tolerate it well and the nutrition value is better than all of the other options I have tried. Great value for my very happy fur babies.

    Great food

    Great starter food for kittens - mix with water to make a slurry then gradually reduce the water as they age. Provide dry along side to promote the eating of dry at their own pace. Mom’s love it too so meal times are supervised and clean up of baby faces and feet are done immediately.

    Kittens love it

    My kitten really took to this food, maybe too much haha. He really liked it, it seemed like it had pretty good ingredients and wasn’t too dry. It is calorically dense so pay attention to the serving size.

    Used to love

    My cat loved this food but after all the recalls I had to stop buying it. I felt like she enjoyed the flavor and I appreciated that it had some real incidents that I could pronounce.

    Сat food

    The price of the food is high, the kitten liked the food, but the food itself is very thick and takes a long time to dissolve in water, the packaging is strong and airtight, I recommend giving it to kittens………
