Is it okay to switch to different brands of dry foods every time the bag finishes?

When changing food brand or flavor, Veterinarians recommend mixing the old and new foods over 7-10 days. Cats and dogs can get upset stomach from changing foods, so the food should be changed slowly. 75% old and 25% new for 2-3 days, 50% old and 50% new for 2-3 days, 25% old and 75% new 2-3 days. If your kitten is doing well on a particular food, there's really no need to change. If there is a problem with a particular food (vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) consult your veterinarian for a recommendation. I hope this helps.

What is the youngest you can feed this food to? we found a very young kitten and we don’t know what to feed him. tia

Usually they can handle dry food by 6 or 7 wks. Not sure what you mean by young. Less than 6 wks should be on KMR ( kitten replacement milk) You can start on solid food by soaking the kitten chow in KMR then water until they are eating ok by themselves.

Thank you for your question. Kitten Chow Nurture Muscle + Brain Development is made of dry/hard extruded kibble. It is not a soft food. We hope this helps. - The Cat Chow Team
