How long should my cat remain on this diet?

Does this food help with hairballs?

Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the food
Try warming the food slightly to room temperature or mixing in a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma, but consult your veterinarian if the cat persists in not eating.
Digestive symptoms persist after several days
Contact your veterinarian immediately to reassess the diagnosis or adjust the treatment plan as the condition may require further medical intervention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing this diet, follow your veterinarian's recommended transition plan, usually involving a gradual mixing of the new food with the previous diet over 5 to 7 days to avoid further stomach upset. Always ensure that fresh water is available at all times. Store the 195g cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be covered and refrigerated, and it is best served at room temperature to maximize palatability for cats with sensitive appetites. Follow your vet's specific feeding guidelines regarding daily caloric intake based on your cat's weight and clinical condition.
