Dry cat food can be too hard for kittens, especially those under eight weeks old. To make it easier for them to eat, moisten the dry food with a bit of warm water or kitten formula. This softens the kibble, making it more manageable for their small teeth and gums. As kittens grow and develop, they can gradually transition to eating dry food as it is, ensuring they chew properly for dental health.
