Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your cat on this diet, confirm with your veterinarian that this specific formula addresses your cat's underlying health needs. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the unused portion refrigerated and serve at room temperature to maintain palatability. Always ensure your cat has constant access to fresh, clean water. Do not add supplements or mix with other foods unless explicitly directed by your clinical professional, as this can introduce ingredients that negate the hypoallergenic benefits of the diet.
