Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting this diet, consult your veterinarian to confirm it is the correct choice for your cat's health profile. When introducing the food, it is recommended to transition over 5 to 7 days by gradually increasing the amount of the new food while decreasing the old diet to avoid digestive upset. Store pouches in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion should be refrigerated and consumed within 24-48 hours. Ensure your cat always has access to fresh, clean drinking water to support the urinary health benefits of the formula.
