If your cat suddenly stops eating or isn’t able to finish his meal like he used to, there is a need to take steps to find out what is causing him to behave this way. Here are some tips to encourage your pet to eat:

If your pet is suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection, its nasal passages may be congested making it difficult to smell its food. Try applying some saline drops on the cat’s nostrils or place your pet inside a steamy bathroom to loosen the mucus and clear the nasal passages so the cat can breathe more easily.

Heat your pet’s food for a few seconds in the microwave because heating enhances the taste and aroma of pet food.

Try feeding a new flavor, texture, or pet food formula. Just make sure that it is premium quality pet food that is appropriate for your pet’s lifestage. Also, make the switch gradually to prevent digestive upsets. It is recommended that you consult with your vet North Phoenix, AZ before making major changes in your pet’s diet.
