Thanks for reaching out with your question! I understand it's convenient to have one type of food for both your cat and kitten, and you might be wondering if that’s okay. Generally, it's important to ensure that the nutritional needs of both are met. Kittens require more protein, fat, and calories compared to adult cats to support their rapid growth and high energy levels.
Some foods are formulated to be suitable for "all life stages," meaning they meet the nutritional needs of both cats and kittens. This can be a great option, so look for packaging that mentions this. However, it's crucial to verify that the nutritional content aligns with your pets' requirements.
Monitor how they both respond to the food: kittens should be energetic and growing steadily, while your cat should maintain a healthy weight. Watch out for any signs of discomfort, like vomiting or diarrhea, which could indicate a digestive issue.
If your kitten appears to be growing slowly or your cat starts gaining excessive weight, it could be a sign to adjust their feeding plan. A video consult would be a perfect opportunity to discuss these concerns further with a professional and tailor a diet that's perfect for your furry family. Feel free to book a session with Dial A Vet for personalized advice!

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
