Nourishing Your Kitten for Optimal Health and Growth

At Lake Pine Animal Hospital, we recognize the crucial role of proper nutrition in your kitten's development. As obligate carnivores, kittens require specific nutrients found in animal flesh to thrive. Our recommendations for kitten diets are based on AAFCO standards and are formulated to meet the unique nutritional needs of cats under one year of age.
