The Best Start: Nutrition for Puppies and Kittens

The Foundation of Lifelong Health

The early stages of your pet’s life lay the foundation for their long-term health. Proper nutrition during puppyhood and kittenhood supports growth, development, and sets the stage for a healthy future.

Hill’s Science Plan Puppy and Kitten foods are developed using science-led nutrition to meet the specific needs of growing pets. Recommended by veterinarians, these formulas provide precisely balanced nutrients to support strong bones, healthy muscles, and developing immune systems.


Give Them the Best Start

For puppies, nutrition plays a vital role in supporting brain development, energy levels, and overall growth. Hill’s puppy formulas include high-quality proteins and essential fatty acids, such as DHA from fish oil, to support cognitive development and learning.

Kittens, too, require specialised nutrition during their early months. Hill’s kitten formulas provide the energy and nutrients needed for rapid growth, while supporting vision, brain development, and a strong immune system.

Nutrition That Grows With Them

As pets grow, their nutritional needs change. Transitioning from puppy or kitten food to adult formulas should be done at the appropriate age, typically around 12 months (or as advised by your vet).

Feeding the right portions is essential. Overfeeding can lead to rapid weight gain, while underfeeding may impact development. Always follow feeding guidelines and monitor your pet’s growth.

Transitioning to Hill's

When introducing Hill’s, transition gradually over 7 days to support digestive comfort and acceptance. This slow introduction helps your pet's system adjust to the new, nutrient-dense ingredients without upset.
