It is important to feed your kitten food that has been specially developed for kittens.

The mentioned nutrients give the immune system a boost, which are for example necessary for the production of antibodies. In addition, MOS and FOS are important in the diet, because they have a positive effect on the immune system and serve as prebiotics. They serve as food for the good bacteria in the intestines which form an optimal intestinal flora. This prevents harmful microorganisms from attaching to the intestinal wall.
A kitten has yet to grow, which means that the animal requires balanced amounts of a wide variety of nutrients. You can think of calcium and phosphorus, which are important in the development of strong bones and teeth. In addition, you ca think of proteins that are necessary for the construction of, among other things, the muscles, the skin and coat and other body tissues. But a balanced amount of fats is also necessary; these fats provide kittens with the energy they need to grow. We recommend you to choose a food that has been specially developed for kittens, because this food contains the right amounts of various nutrients for a growing kitten.
