FAQs
Does my cat need a prescription for this food?
While it is a specialized diet, you should consult your veterinarian to ensure it is the correct choice for your cat's specific health condition.
Can I feed this to my healthy cat as a preventative measure?
No, this is a therapeutic diet formulated for specific medical needs and is not intended for healthy cats as a maintenance diet.
How long should I feed this to my cat?
Follow the duration advised by your veterinarian, which usually depends on whether the digestive upset is acute or chronic.
Is this diet suitable for kittens?
This product is primarily designed for adult cats; consult your vet if you believe your kitten requires a therapeutic digestive diet.
Can I mix this with dry food?
Yes, but consult your veterinarian first to ensure the total daily nutritional intake remains balanced for your cat's specific recovery needs.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly to enhance its aroma, or mix a small amount of the previous diet into the new food, gradually increasing the ratio.
Digestive symptoms persist after several days
Contact your veterinarian immediately as the underlying cause may require further investigation or medication beyond diet.
