FAQs
Can I feed this to my healthy cat as a preventative?

Do I need a prescription to buy this?
Yes, this diet is intended for use under veterinary supervision and should only be fed following a diagnosis of renal or cardiac issues.
Why is the protein source eggs?
Eggs provide high biological value protein with an amino acid profile that minimizes the production of nitrogenous waste, which is essential for kidney support.
What is the role of taurine in this diet?
Taurine is an essential amino acid that is critical for maintaining healthy cardiac muscle function and supporting overall heart health.
How long should my cat stay on this diet?
The duration of use should be determined by your veterinarian based on the progression and management of your cat's condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best transition, introduce this food gradually over 5–7 days by mixing it with your cat's previous diet, increasing the proportion of Calibra daily. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain the integrity of the omega-3 oils. Always provide access to fresh, clean drinking water, as hydration is critical for cats with renal conditions. Keep the packaging tightly sealed between feedings to ensure maximum freshness and nutritional potency.
