Is it okay to change my kitten's food? - Animal Hospital of Statesville

A couple of things. Humans don’t like to eat the same food every day, and then we try to project that on our pets. You don't need to change their food because you can create a picky eater. And a lot of our picky eaters are overweight pets. That's a big issue that we see, which goes against their health and causes some medical problems. But in general, if they're on good quality food, they can eat that same food consistently. And then also in regards to table food, again, we can develop bad habits early if we're starting that. And then they can start to beg for our food that we eat, and most of the time, it is not as well balanced as kitten food. If we're replacing their calories or their daily intake with certain things that we eat, they're not getting the proper nutrition they need.
