FAQs
Does my cat need a prescription for this food?

Can I feed this to my kitten?

How long should my cat remain on this diet?
Your veterinarian will determine the duration of the diet based on regular blood work and health assessments.
Are the pouches recyclable?
Please check your local municipal guidelines regarding the disposal of soft plastic food pouches.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly to release aromas or mixing in a small amount of warm water. Always transition slowly over several days.
Digestive upset during transition
Slow down the transition process by increasing the ratio of old food to new food over a longer period, such as 14 days.
Cat is not drinking enough water
Consider adding a small amount of extra warm water to the wet food to create a gravy consistency, which increases hydration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a therapeutic diet, it must be used under the supervision of a veterinarian. Always consult your vet before introducing this food to your cat. Store the individual 85g pouches in a cool, dry place. Once a pouch is opened, it should be served immediately; any uneaten portion should be refrigerated and discarded if not consumed within 24 hours. Ensure your cat always has access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is a vital component of renal health management.
