Product Information

Full details

This Eukanuba Sterilised/Weight Control Adult food is designed for adult cats over one year old, particularly those that have been neutered or spayed and are overweight or prone to weight gain. Its key benefit is aiding in weight management through a reduced fat content and high animal protein to maintain lean muscle mass. A potential consideration is that it is a complete food, so ensure no other food sources are given if feeding exclusively.

FAQs

What age is this food suitable for?

This food is designed for adult cats over 1 year of age.

Is this food suitable for all cats?

It is specifically formulated for sterilised, castrated, or overweight cats. While it is a complete food, cats with specific medical conditions should be fed under veterinary guidance.

How much food should I give my cat?

Feeding guidelines are provided on the packaging and should be adjusted based on your cat's individual needs, activity level, and whether they are looking to lose weight or maintain their current weight.

Does this food contain wheat?

No, this food is wheat-free, making it suitable for cats with wheat allergies or intolerances.

Can I feed this food to my kitten?

No, this food is formulated for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional requirements and should be fed a kitten-specific formula.

How long will it take to see weight loss results?

Weight loss varies per cat. Consistent feeding according to guidelines, combined with appropriate portion control, typically shows results over several weeks to months.

What are prebiotics and why are they included?

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibres that feed beneficial bacteria in the gut, helping to promote a healthy digestive system and balanced intestinal flora.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the new food

Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days, mixing a small amount of the new food with the old food. Try warming the food slightly or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance aroma.

Digestive upset (vomiting or diarrhea)

This can occur during food transition. Ensure the transition is slow. If symptoms persist after a week of established feeding, consult your veterinarian.

Cat is not losing weight

Double-check the feeding portions against the recommended guidelines based on your cat's current weight and target weight. Ensure no extra treats or table scraps are being given. Increase activity levels if possible.

Coat appears dull or dry

While the food contains Omega fatty acids, significant coat issues might require veterinary consultation. Ensure the cat is drinking enough water. Monitor if the issue resolves after several weeks on the food.
