Setup, Compatibility & Care
When introducing this diet, it is essential to follow a gradual transition process to allow your cat's digestive system to adjust. Over a period of 7 to 10 days, slowly mix an increasing amount of the new food with their previous diet. Always provide access to fresh, clean water. Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place and ensure that any unused portion in an opened pouch is refrigerated and served within 24-48 hours. Consult with your veterinarian regularly to monitor your cat's progress and ensure this remains the appropriate diet for their specific medical condition.
