Younger kittens in the under-4-month bracket eat smaller daily amounts, so the same bag would last longer for a very young kitten just starting on solid food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: Is this Hill's kitten dry food grain-inclusive, and does it contain barley?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this is a grain-inclusive formula that contains cracked pearled barley alongside brown rice and whole grain oats as carbohydrate sources. Owners whose kittens require a barley-free or grain-free diet should consider an alternative Hill's kitten formula, such as the Kitten No Corn, Wheat, Soy Chicken Recipe, which uses a different carbohydrate base without barley or wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: What role does egg product play in this kitten dry food recipe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Egg product is included as a highly digestible supplementary protein source that contributes to the overall amino acid completeness of the recipe alongside real chicken and chicken meal. Egg protein is among the most bioavailable of any food protein source, supporting the high-quality protein profile this formula delivers for healthy muscle development in growing kittens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: How does this Hill's kitten formula support digestive health beyond basic fiber?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beyond the fiber sources in the ingredient list, this formula includes ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit technology, Hill's proprietary prebiotic fiber and an antioxidant blend that supports the gut microbiome, digestion, and organ health simultaneously. The prebiotic fibers in this blend help nourish beneficial gut bacteria in growing kittens, supporting the foundation of healthy digestive function throughout the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: Does this kitten food contain any artificial colors or flavors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e No artificial colors are listed in the ingredient list. Chicken Liver Flavor and Natural Flavors are included as palatability ingredients, both of which are derived from natural sources. Beta-Carotene is included as a natural pigment and antioxidant source, and Mixed Tocopherols are used as a natural preservative to maintain the freshness of the fat content in the kibble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: Can this kitten dry food be fed to a cat that has just given birth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this formula is verified by AAFCO feeding tests for lactating adult female cats, making it appropriate for a mother cat during the nursing period after birth. Nursing cats have elevated energy and protein requirements that align with the higher caloric density of this kitten formula, making it suitable to continue feeding through the nursing period without switching to a separate formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ7: What is the difference between this Hill's kitten formula and Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken Recipe dry food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e This kitten formula delivers higher protein at 38%, higher fat at 22.9%, higher calcium at 1.44%, and a higher caloric density at 4076 kcal\/kg compared to the adult formula, which is calibrated for maintenance rather than growth. The higher levels across these nutrients in the kitten formula reflect the substantially greater energy and developmental needs of kittens in their first year compared to fully grown adult cats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HardyPaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46630807109795,"sku":"9391","price":35.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/7790\/1987\/files\/hills-science-diet-kitten-dry-cat-food-chicken-recipe-7-lb-744.webp?v=1778523997","url":"https:\/\/mymaxpet.com\/products\/hills-science-diet-kitten-dry-cat-food-chicken-recipe-7-lb","provider":"My Max Pet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
