Kittens require up to twice the nutrients of adult cats. To ensure your kitten enjoys optimal development, nourish it with a nutrient-rich diet of quality meat proteins and low carbohydrates.
ACANA KITTEN is a superb chicken and oatmeal formula that contains neither wheat nor gluten, which are low-cost protein sources. With the highest inclusions of human-grade chicken meat ingredients (min. 60%), ACANA is nearly bursting with high-quality, easily digested proteins to nourish growing kittens. This diet is also ideal for adult cats with elevated nutrient needs during lactation and gestation.
Formulated with highly digestible oatmeal (the single carbohydrate source) and a variety of regional fruits and botanicals, ACANA supplies antioxidant nutrients to kittens in the healthiest way. Containing both herring and flax oils, ACANA is a rich source of essential fatty acids and organic minerals to support cognitive and immune development and promote healthy teeth and bones.
Trust ACANA KITTEN to help your kitten grow into a strong, healthy, and energetic cat.
