Recommended daily amount:
- It is impossible to give precise daily quantities for feeds due to variation in age, size and breed. On-demand feeding is the most effective. However, our suggested daily guidelines are given in the table. Each kitten should be weighed regularly to ensure it is putting on weight and growing as expected.
*After 36 days, slowly change to a more solid diet. One litre of prepared Lactol contains approximately 1250 Kcals.
