Why Choose Our Kitten Food Collection?
Bringing a new kitten home is exciting, but it can also be a little scary. At Mutz Nutz, we know that tiny kittens—from brave hunters in Wicklow to sleepy fluffballs in Cork—need extra special care. We have picked the best kitten food to help them grow big and strong. Whether you need milk for a tiny baby or crunchy food for a growing tiger, we have safe, healthy options to fill their tummy.
Why Do Kittens Need Special Food?
Kitten food is packed with extra energy and vitamins because kittens grow very fast. Unlike adult cats who mostly sleep, kittens spend all day running, jumping, and playing. They need high-protein food to build strong muscles and special ingredients like calcium to make their bones hard. Feeding them adult food is not enough; they need a "super-fuel" to help them grow up healthy.
What Options Are Available?
We have everything you need for every stage of a kitten's first year. From their very first milk to their first solid crunch, we have it in stock.
Milk Replacers
For very young kittens who are not ready for meat yet, we stock Beaphar Lactol. This is a special milk powder that tastes like their mother's milk. It is perfect for weaning or for helping sick kittens get strong again.
Dry Kitten Food
Kitten food dry is great for easy feeding. The small crunchy pieces are just the right size for tiny mouths. Chewing on dry food also helps keep their new teeth clean and strong.
Wet Kitten Food
Kitten wet food is soft and easy to eat. It is full of water, which keeps your kitten hydrated after a long day of playing.
Which Brands Do We Trust?
We only choose brands that use real ingredients. You will not find cheap junk food here, only the best for your new best friend.
Return to the Wild
This is our top choice for a natural diet. Return to the Wild Kitten uses Turkey and Sweet Potato. It is a kitten dry food that is grain-free, making it perfect for kittens with sensitive stomachs or itchy skin.
Hunters
If you want great food that costs a little less, choose Hunters Super Premium Kitten. It uses Chicken, Fish, and Rice. The rice is very gentle on their tummy, and the fish oil helps their brain develop.
Canagan
Canagan makes delicious kitten food wet options. Their tins of Chicken and Crab or Tuna are packed with fresh meat. This is a great treat to mix with dry food to make dinner time exciting.
Can I Mix Wet and Dry Food?
Yes, mixing kitten food dry and wet is the best way to feed them. The dry food gives them energy and cleans their teeth, while the kitten wet food gives them plenty of water. You can leave dry food out for snacking and serve wet food as a special breakfast or dinner.
When Should I Switch to Adult Food?
You should feed kitten food until your cat is 12 months old. Kittens keep growing for a full year! When they turn one, you can slowly switch them to adult food over a week.
How Should I Store Kitten Food?
Keep dry food in a sealed box in a cool, dry place so it stays crunchy. Once you open a tin of kitten wet food, put a lid on it and keep it in the fridge. Use it up within two days so it stays fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give my kitten cow's milk? No, cow's milk can give kittens a very sore tummy. You should only use a special milk replacer like Beaphar Lactol, which is made just for them.
Is grain-free better for kittens? It can be. Return to the Wild is grain-free and uses Turkey. This is very easy for kittens to digest and helps stop skin allergies before they start.
How often should I feed my kitten? Kittens have tiny stomachs, so they need to eat small meals often. You should feed them 3 or 4 times a day until they are six months old.
What if my kitten is picky? Try warming up their kitten wet food a little bit. Warm food smells like fresh prey and can tempt even the pickiest eater.
