What to Feed Senior Cats

broken image

If you’re raising a senior cat then you should talk to your vet about your cat’s diet. Kittens typically eat a kitten food through the first year of life. After that they switch to an adult food, which they can stay on forever or may need to change as they age. Senior cats require more minerals and vitamins than general adults mainly because their body is starting to slow down. Kidney and liver disease are common in aging pets. Feeding senior cat food formulas that specifically target these areas is often recommended. If your cat is well and healthy you should still feed a senior food and if possible feed a food that is specific to the age. In addition, cats also do well with a wet food either fed on the side or alternated with dry food. Contact your vet Frisco, TX to learn more.
