FAQs
Do I need a prescription to buy this food?
Yes, this is a veterinary diet. It is strongly recommended to consult with your veterinarian before introducing this food to your cat's diet.
How long should my cat stay on this diet?
The duration of feeding depends on your cat's specific digestive condition. Follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding the length of the diet, which is typically meant for acute recovery.
Can I feed this to my healthy cat as well?
No, this is a dietetic food specifically formulated for cats with digestive disorders. It should not be fed to healthy cats without veterinary approval.
Can I mix this with dry kibble?
Consult your veterinarian first. Generally, during a digestive crisis, it is best to stick exclusively to the diet prescribed to avoid introducing ingredients that might trigger sensitivity.
What if my cat is also on medication?
Always inform your veterinarian about all medications your cat is taking to ensure the diet does not interfere with the absorption or efficacy of the treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your cat on Calibra Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal, verify the diagnosis with your veterinarian. The feeding amount is highly dependent on the severity of the cat's condition; always follow the portion guidelines provided by your vet rather than standard feeding charts. Store cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portions should be refrigerated and consumed within 24-48 hours. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available, as hydration is critical for cats experiencing gastrointestinal issues.
