Yes, 6-week-old kittens can eat dry food as part of their weaning process. They are becoming more adept at chewing and digesting solid food at this stage.
While they may still rely on their mother’s milk or milk replacement formula for some nutrition, offering dry food helps them transition to a more solid diet. Provide high-quality, kitten-specific dry food that is small and easily manageable for their small mouths.
You can moisten the dry food with a small amount of water or kitten formula if necessary. Monitor their progress and adjust the portion sizes accordingly, gradually increasing the amount of dry food as they become more comfortable.
