Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning to this diet should always be done gradually over 7 to 10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Specific FRW with the cat's previous food. Since this is a clinical diet, it is vital to follow the feeding guidelines provided by your veterinarian based on your cat's target weight. Always ensure your cat has access to fresh, clean drinking water at all times. Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. Once a pouch is opened, it should be covered and refrigerated, and any unused portion should be served within 24 hours.
