Can my kitten eat GimCat treats and calcium baby paste?

Limit table food as much as possible. It is fine to give a tiny bit as a treat or reward occasionally as long as it does not contain onion or garlic. Cat specific treats can be used as rewards for positive behavior and during play. Again, limit quantities to avoid obesity.

I wouldn't advise on giving Calcium supplements to your kittens unless they have a known calcium deficiency, or you risk overdosing their system with Calcium, which can have adverse effects such as weakness, exercise intolerance, muscle wasting, listlessness, muscle twitching, and lethargy. It is best just to give your kitties a high quality kitten food, which has all the nutrients and supplements they need for an overall healthy diet. I hope this helps! Best wishes with your new kitties and don't forget to get them fully vaccinated soon to protect them from common viruses and diseases (i.e. Feline herpesvirus, Rabies). Take care!

Yes, it is OK to give kittens treats, but make sure that they do not make up more than 10% of her diet. If you decide to change brands of food, make sure to transition slowly over a period of a few days to a week to make sure that she does not get any GI upset due to a diet change. I rotate my cats' food regularly and they do not have any GI problems, but until you know about Callie, I would take it slowly. I think rotating brands is a good idea as long as she tolerates it well. We normally recommend changing from kitten to adult food around 6 months of age. I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It’s ok if you are feeding them as “treats” as long as they are cooked and not raw. It is not necessarily “good” to do. The main part of any kitten/cat’s diet should be a food formulated for kittens/cats.

If the bag says it is ok, then it probably is. 8 week old kittens should be able to digest food as well as an adult, just make sure that 90% of their diet comes from a good quality kitten food so they get the proper nutrition and vitamins for their growing bodies!

You can feed her cat treats as long as you only give her small quantities as cat treats are usually much higher in calories which will likely end up gaining a lot of extra weight when she gets a little older.
