Kitten food should be given up to at least 6 months old.

IMO Whiskas is not a good food (sorry), there are other wet kitten foods you can try. Pets @ home have lots of premium brands. I acn't stress the utmost importance of a kitten NOT being fed an adult food, as this can cause health problems firther down the line (don't want to scare you)!

Maybe Whiskas just don't agree with your kitten! If Whiskas kitten caused poo problems, then another brand of kitten should have been tried (by your breeder) instead of being put 'inappropriately' on an adult food!

Good luck, and well wishes x

Yes, Iams kitten, Hills science diet kitten, applaws to name only a few.

It would be completely fine to just feed your kitten on the james Well beloved dry as it is a 'complete' kitten diet! Is your kitten male or female?

Thank you very much! I'll take the unopened box that I have left and swap it for one of the brands that you recommended.

Didn't they only bring kitten food out only a few years ago and it's virtually idental to adult food only slightly higher in protien/energy because they're growing? And maybe smaller kibbles for small mouths? I got the definate impression (can't remember where from) that kitten food is largely a silly gimmick used to market more cat food. People must've been feeding their cats something before the pet food companies started marketting kitten food and we don't have generations and generations of dead cats.
