2 questions re kitten's diet
Hi there,
I have 2 questions about my kitten's diet that I'm hoping you can help with..
Firstly, at what age should you start restricting the amount a kitten eats? I have always read that a kitten should be allowed to eat as much as they want while they're young and I have been heeding this as my kitten was incredibly underweight until recently as she was sick. She is now 5 months old and still small for her age but I am concerned about her over eating, so should I now only feed her 2-3 times a day or continue to feed her whenever she in hungry?
For info, she is currently eating about 2.5-3 pouches of wet food a day in about 5 smaller meals.
Second question - can anybody recommend a sensitive wet food? As Inca has been so poorly she's currently eating the Royal Canin Sensitivity Control pouches but these are so expensive from the vet and also not recommended for long term use. I tried Anomonda Carny but this upset her stomach straight away so I'm looking for something else that is a sensitive food.
thanks in advance
