This pouch delivers tender baked chicken chunks in a rich, decadent gravy, while the Kitten Chicken \u0026amp; Vegetables Stew pouch features a hearty stew with real vegetables in broth. This pouch is also verified for pregnant and nursing cats, while the stew pouch is for growing kittens only up to one year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: Can this kitten wet food pouch be used as a topper on dry kitten kibble?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Hill's specifically highlights this pouch as a great option to serve on top of Science Diet dry kitten food. Adding it as a topper enriches the meal with extra moisture, aroma, and texture variety, which is helpful for kittens that need encouragement to eat or for owners who want to combine the convenience of dry food with the palatability of wet food daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Why does this kitten chicken pouch have a higher protein content than most kitten canned foods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 43.5% dry matter protein content is higher than most canned formats, which is typical of wet food pouches due to their ingredient composition and moisture-adjusted nutrient profile. Kittens need a lot of protein in their first year to fuel rapid muscle growth, making this elevated protein level well suited to their developmental needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Is this Hill's kitten chicken pouch suitable for a nursing cat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this formula is formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional levels for both growing kittens and gestating or lactating adult female cats. The manufacturer specifically notes that nursing cats should have food available at all times, acknowledging their elevated daily energy and nutritional requirements during the lactation period following birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: How should I store an opened pouch of this kitten chicken wet food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cover any unused portion and refrigerate it straight away after opening to retain moisture and keep the food fresh. Opened pouches should not be kept at room temperature for longer periods, as this can affect freshness and food safety. Always serve refrigerated food at room temperature or slightly warmed for best acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: Does this kitten pouch contain taurine, and why is it important for kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, taurine is listed as a direct ingredient in this formula. Cats cannot synthesize sufficient taurine on their own, making dietary inclusion essential at every life stage. For kittens specifically, taurine supports healthy cardiac muscle development and normal visual development during the first year when these organ systems are actively forming and maturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ7: When should I transition my kitten from this wet food pouch to a Hill's adult wet food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use this formula from weaning through to around one year old. When your kitten turns one, it is time to move to a Hill's Science Diet adult wet food. A gradual seven-day transition helps the digestive system adjust comfortably before fully replacing this kitten formula.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HardyPaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46630794297507,"sku":"605143","price":47.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/7790\/1987\/files\/hills-science-diet-kitten-wet-cat-food-chicken-2-8-oz-x-24-pouches-865.webp?v=1778525802","url":"https:\/\/mymaxpet.com\/products\/hills-science-diet-kitten-wet-cat-food-chicken-2-8-oz-x-24-pouches","provider":"My Max Pet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
