Freeze-dried is usually made of pure meat or animal offal. Although this type of food is sufficiently nutritious, it has a low moisture content. Do you know how old a kitten can eat freeze-dried? Below, the editor will tell you the precautions for freeze-dried kittens!
Cats can eat freeze-dried for several months
Cats can eat freeze-dried for more than three months. Because cats whose baby teeth have not been replaced within three months and their stomachs have not yet fully developed, taking freeze-drying can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort or gastrointestinal diseases. Cats whose baby vaccines have not been completely injected within three months, gastrointestinal discomfort is easily invaded by viruses. It is recommended that cats under three months of age use milk cakes, which have high nutritional value and will not lead to cat malnutrition caused by long-term use of freeze-drying.
How much can cats be eaten when freeze-dried?
It is not recommended to feed cats freeze-dried every day. It is recommended to feed them 2 to 3 times a week. Because cats are fed freeze-dried every day, it is easy for cats to eat only freeze-dried instead of cat food or other foods, which can easily cause cats to be malnutrition. In addition, if the cat is suddenly freeze-dried, it will cause indigestion, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. Therefore, freeze-dried can only be used as a snack for cats and cannot be fed instead of staple food.
What happens if cats eat too much freeze-dried?
1. If cats eat too much freeze-dried, it may lead to indigestion in the cat, because freeze-dried is mostly pure meat, so eating too much may add burden to the gastrointestinal tract.
2. If cats eat too much freeze-dried, it may also lead to cats being picky about food, because most cats prefer meat and often feed cats freeze-dried, so cats may not be willing to eat cat food.
3. Eating too much freeze-dried cats may also cause cats to be malnourished. Although freeze-dried cats are relatively rich in nutrition, they cannot fully meet cats’ nutritional needs. Eating too much may affect cats’ health.
