Hi there! I understand how concerning it can be when your little kitten suddenly turns picky with their regular meals but is happy to munch on treats. Let's dig into what might be going on.
Kittens can be quite finicky, and there are several potential reasons for this behavior. It might be as simple as a preference for the taste or texture of treats over their regular food. Sometimes, if they've had a recent change in their diet or environment, it can cause temporary fussiness. Additionally, dental issues or mouth pain can make it uncomfortable for them to eat certain foods, but treats might be softer or easier to chew.
To encourage your kitten to eat regular food, try warming up their wet food slightly, as this can enhance the smell and make it more appealing. You can also mix a small amount of their favorite treat with the food to entice them. Offering multiple small meals throughout the day may also help.
Keep an eye out for any signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or any changes in behavior. These could indicate a more serious issue that needs veterinary attention.
If this persists, or you notice any concerning symptoms, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We'll be happy to take a closer look and provide personalized advice for your furry friend’s health and happiness!

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
