Kittens’ teeth begin to grow around three weeks after birth, which is the time when they are ready for weaning. However, only deciduous teeth are grown in the initial stage. Pet owners should pay attention not to replace all the staple food with solid food right away. Instead, it should be started with semi-solid food. Freeze-dried food or meat puree are good choices for kittens’ digestive system to adapt to the new food.

• Weaning week 1: cat milk + a small amount of semi-solid food
• Weaning week 2: 75% cat milk + 25% semi-solid food
• Weaning week 3: 50% cat milk + 50% semi-solid food
• Weaning week 4: 100% solid food
