Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the product, remove the cap and squeeze a small amount of the paste onto a clean surface or your finger. Dechra Cat Malt is compatible with most standard feline diets but should not be combined with other digestive medications without veterinary approval. To maintain the integrity of the paste, ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the paste from drying out. Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its consistency and palatability.
