Full details
SPECIFIC FJD Joint Support is a therapeutic dry food designed for adult cats suffering from joint stiffness or mobility issues. It provides essential relief by leveraging high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin to support cartilage health while maintaining an ideal body weight through moderate energy density. While this specialized formula is highly effective for joint management, it is a clinical diet that should only be fed under the guidance of a veterinarian to ensure it meets your cat's specific health needs.

No, the formula contains no added artificial colors or flavoring agents.
Can I feed this to my kitten?
No, this is a therapeutic diet formulated for adult cats with specific joint support needs.
How does the packaging help the food?

Why is L-carnitine included?

Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Ensure a slow transition over 7-10 days. You can slightly warm the food or add a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.
Digestive upset during transition
Slow down the transition process by increasing the old food ratio until the cat's stomach settles, then continue at a more gradual pace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, consult your veterinarian to determine the correct daily portion size based on your cat's weight and current health status. Transitioning is vital: mix a small portion of the new food with their old diet, slowly increasing the ratio of FJD over a week. For care, always store the bag in a cool, dry place. Because this food is nitrogen-packed, ensure the seal is closed tightly after every use to maintain the integrity of the essential fatty acids inside. Always provide fresh, clean water at all times to support kidney health and digestion.
