Life Stage Foods and Your Cat

broken image

Most cat food manufacturers offer a line of food that supports the various stages in your cat’s life. Kitten food offers the extra protein she needs for her developing brain and growing muscles and bones. However, once your cat reaches her first birthday, this food could lead to obesity because it is too high in calories. Thus you’ll need to switch her to an adult formula food. This adult food will meet your cat’s needs for most of her life but considering switching to a mature or senior food as she ages. Some foods support specific health issues such as weight control, urinary tract problems, or hairball control. Some foods are available by prescription only. Switch foods gradually to avoid digestive problems. Mix the old and new food and change the ration over about a week until you are feeding your cat the new food alone. Contact your veterinary clinic Spring Valley, CA to learn more.
