Feeding
# Feeding your Peterbald well
Russia
The Peterbald’s diet must cover the needs of an active cat while avoiding overfeeding. A complete, high-quality food, suited to its age, activity level and body condition, forms the basis of its nutritional balance.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Kitten: A rich and complete growth diet is necessary to support development, with several small meals per day.
- Adult: The ration must be adapted to weight, activity and sterilization, with regular monitoring of body condition.
- Senior: In older cats, the diet must remain highly digestible, palatable and adjusted to changes in activity and veterinary follow-up.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
The Peterbald can be fed with premium kibble, quality wet food or a combination of both, provided that the formula is complete and suitable for the cat. A portion of wet food often helps support hydration, particularly in cats living exclusively indoors.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount must be adjusted according to the cat’s weight, age, neutering, activity and body condition. It is preferable to think in terms of a measured ration rather than systematic free-feeding, especially if activity decreases.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2 kg | 35 - 45 g | 2 |
| 2 - 3 kg | 50 - 60 g | 2 |
| 3 - 4 kg | 60 - 75 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be made gradually over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. Gradually mixing the old and the new food allows the Peterbald to better accept the transition.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
The Peterbald must always have access to clean, fresh water. Using several water points or a fountain can encourage good daily hydration.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and represent a small part of the daily caloric intake. They can be useful as part of training or care, but without unbalancing the overall ration.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weighing the daily ration helps avoid excesses in this active but greedy cat.
- Favouring high-quality food improves nutritional coverage in the long term.
- Splitting meals can help better distribute energy intake throughout the day.
### Never feed these foods
As with other cats, it is necessary to avoid in particular chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, cooked bones and very fatty or very salty foods, as they can cause digestive, neurological, renal or hematological disorders that are sometimes serious.
