Feed pregnant cats 50-100% more during the entire pregnancy. Pregnant and lactating cats should be fed free choice.

Kittens up to six months old may require up to three times the amount of food as an adult cat and should be fed 3 to 4 times a day. Kittens six months to a year may require twice the amount of food as an adult cat and should be fed twice a day.

Senior and Overweight Cats may be fed a reduced amount, depending on the cat?s weight and activity level.

The Daily Feeding Guidelines are a good starting point on the amount of food suggested to be fed on a daily basis. If you feed more than once per day, simply divide the Daily Feeding Guidelines by the number of times fed per day.

Always provide plenty of fresh water.

Grain free diets may not be suitable for all cats. If you have any dietary concerns, please consult with your veterinarian.

When changing to CANIDAE PURE Elements, some cats may do better by making a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Start with 25% of the new food mixed with 75% of the previous diet and gradually increase the new while decreasing the previous until the transition is complete.
