Approximate Complete-Feed Guide

The total daily volume should be divided between the recommended number of feeds. Individual requirements can vary, so monitor the kitten's weight and development.

*After around the 36th day, gradually introduce solid kitten food and reduce the quantity of milk as the kitten becomes accustomed to eating solids.

For kittens under 6 weeks old that are still receiving their mother's milk, Lactol can also be provided as a supplementary feed.

Recommended supplementary volume: up to 40ml/kg body weight.

For weaned/weaning kittens over 6 weeks and for adult cats during pregnancy/lactation or during illness/recovery, Beaphar gives a supplementary feeding recommendation of 13ml/kg.
