Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. When it comes to feeding your kitten, it's essential to ensure they get the right balance of nutrients to support their rapid growth. Generally, kittens up to six months need more frequent meals, usually three to four times a day. After six months, you can gradually reduce this to twice a day.
Kittens have small stomachs, so offering high-quality kitten-specific food is key. These foods are formulated to have the right blend of protein, fats, and essential nutrients. You might want to refer to the feeding guidelines on the package as a starting point, but remember, every kitten is unique!
Monitor your kitten's weight and energy levels to gauge if they’re eating enough. A healthy kitten is playful and full of energy. If you notice your kitten is lethargic or losing weight, it might be time to adjust their feeding routine.
Also, keep an eye out for any signs of digestive upset, like diarrhea or vomiting, which could indicate they’re eating too much or that their food isn’t agreeing with them. Clean, fresh water should always be available, too.
If uncertainty persists about how much or what type to feed your kitten, scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet could provide personalized guidance tailored to your kitten's specific needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
