Our kitten dry food is made for the most curious, chaotic, and downright adorable months of your cat's life. Smitten Kitten is packed with at least 70% free-run chicken, fish, and egg, in tiny biscuits sized just right for little jaws. If you've just welcomed a new bundle of fluff home, you're in exactly the right place.
Kittens do a lot of growing in their first year, so they tend to need more energy and nutrients in every mouthful than a grown-up cat. That's why Smitten Kitten is a complete and balanced recipe made just for kittens. High-quality natural protein helps support healthy growth, and the recipe is designed to help support brain development and healthy bones and teeth. We've added taurine too, which can help maintain healthy eyes and support their immune system.
New to kitten biscuits? Start by softening a few with a splash of warm water, then use less water as they get the hang of crunching. Keep a bowl of fresh water close by, as dry food holds far less moisture than wet. Weigh their portions in grams on kitchen scales, use the feeding guide on the pack as your starting point, and adjust for their body condition as they grow.
Plenty of kittens love a bit of both, and they'll soon let you know who's in charge of the menu. Pair our kitten dry food with our wet kitten food for a mix of textures, keeping the total in line with the feeding guide. Most kittens are ready for adult food around their first birthday, and our guide on when to switch from kitten to adult cat food walks you through it.
Like all our recipes, Smitten Kitten is vet-approved and made with natural ingredients, with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. No nasties and no fillers. Just extra love and care in every bowl, for the little one who's already running the house.
We'll cover what to look for, how much to feed, when to introduce different foods, and a piece of fresh 2025 research that changes some of the old advice about neutering and weight.
Most cats are ready to move from kitten to adult food at around 12 months old.
