Adult cats can be lazy and overweight when spoilt by their owners. When they were a kitten they would be full of energy and growing all the time.

Kittens should be on the right pet diet from the minute they are brought home. High quality kitten food with good ingredients will help a cat grow up into a strong and health adult cat.

At Hills Pets we have quality pet food aimed at giving a kitten and an adult nutritious food to meet their energy levels and maintain strong muscles and bones at each stage in their cat lives.

Activity levels with a kitten are high as owners tend to play more with a kitten and then stop when they are an adult.

We have feeding guidelines on all our pet food products that are based on the size and weight of your pet. Portions can be weighed at first to make sure you are feeding your kitten or cat the correct amount for essential cat nutrition.

A pet diet now will stop your new kitten from becoming obese or reduce your cat’s weight if obesity is already on the horizon.

A cat has different energy levels just like humans and if your pet eats more food than he or she is working off with exercise they will grow fat.

Pampered felines require less food than an active cat. Strong and healthy cats that are out all day hunting around for mice or playing up a tree will use more energy and their pet diet requires a larger portion of food.

Giving your kitten or cat extra treats has to be part of your cats pet diet; it is still food.

Note: it is important your kitten or cat has plenty of fresh water available inside and outside your home.
