FAQs

Can I feed this to my non-diabetic cat?

This food is formulated specifically for diabetic cats. It is best to consult your veterinarian before feeding this to a healthy cat.

Does this replace my cat's insulin?

No. This is a dietary management tool. It should be used alongside your veterinarian's prescribed treatment plan, not as a replacement for medication.

How should I store the wet food?

Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate the contents and serve within 48 hours.

Why is this diet so high in protein?

Higher protein levels help support insulin sensitivity and provide the necessary nutrients to maintain lean muscle mass in diabetic cats.

Is this diet suitable for cats with kidney issues?

Please consult your veterinarian. While this is for diabetes management, other conditions may require different dietary restrictions.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the new food

Try warming the food slightly or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma. Ensure you are transitioning gradually over a full week.

Digestive upset during transition

Slow down the transition process by increasing the ratio of old food to new food for a few additional days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To introduce this diet, follow your veterinarian's recommended transition schedule—usually mixing the new food with the previous diet over 7 to 10 days to avoid digestive upset. This product is intended for adult cats with specific metabolic needs. Store the pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once a pouch is opened, keep it refrigerated and consume within 24-48 hours. Ensure your cat has constant access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is vital for metabolic processing.
