Peculiarities
Purina kittens for kittens are designed to meet the needs of a growing organism. Kittens need a building material for growth - full protein, vitamins and minerals governing the quality of the process. The most important point is a balance of nutrition. Any bias lead to illness:
- The lack of Taurine is the cause of Rakhita.
- Excess of phosphorus, lack of calcium (possibly against the background of feeding exclusively with meat or fish) - hypoparaterosis.
- Lack of vitamin A - problems with vision, weakening of immunity, slow growth.
- The lack of vitamin B3, B6 and other vitamins of this group will affect everything: wool, state of the genitourinary system, the work of the gastrointestinal tract, joints, peripheral and central nervous system. From the lack of vitamin B3, animals suffer, which are solely boiled food - it is destroyed when heated.
- The lack of vitamin C and E reduces immunity, worsens the absorption of minerals, affects the development of kittens in the early period.
- The lack of vitamin D affects the state of the skeleton, bones, teeth. An animal becomes sluggish, passive.
- The disadvantage or excess of minerals, macro- and microelements will affect the quality of growth and endurance. The pet grows poorly, often sick, he has dull wool, he loses in the liveliness of movements. Perhaps the development of serious diseases, for example, an alimentary hyperparathyroidism.

Choosing a kitten feed, you should focus on the appetite and the well-being of the pet itself. Purina feed belongs to premium class. Breeders and veterinarians critically look at this type of feed, giving preference to the nuts "Holistic" or the class "Super Premium". Not to mention the fact that the category of the predominant class for some PURINA feeds created on the basis of meat or fish processing products is doubtful, and many specialists note that the FRISKIES ruler should be attributed to the economy class. But in the process of organizing the nutrition of a particular animal, everything is individually. Reviews of Purina feeds are often evidenced: small pets grow well, they have a brilliant beautiful wool, the chair is normal, an otned appetite.
