Digestive health
During the growth period, the kitten’s digestive system remains immature and continues developing gradually over several months. A combination of highly digestible protein (L.I.P.*) and specific fibres (psyllium and prebiotics including FOS) helps support a balance in the intestinal flora and contributes to good stool quality. *Protein selected for its very high digestibility.
