when can kittens eat dry food

Kittens can start eating dry food in small amounts at around 4 to 6 weeks of age. During the weaning process, dry food is initially softened with kitten formula or water to make it easier for them to eat. By about 8 weeks old, kittens are usually fully weaned and can eat dry food exclusively. The transition should be gradual to help their teeth and digestive system adjust properly. It's important to choose high-quality kitten-specific dry food to meet their nutritional needs during growth.
