❗❓ DID YOU KNOW ❗❓
Thanks to improved veterinary care, nutrition and lifestyle, many cats are reaching well into their teens, or even their early twenties, these days. Do you know the main goals of nutritional support for our senior kitties?
💜 Provide palatable, easily digested food – some cats get picky when they are older and will often have dental disease.
💜 Provide a complete and balanced diet – illness may result from nutritional deficiencies.
💜 Maintain optimal body condition – older cats tend to become skinnier and usually need more calories, which is the opposite to our older dogs who tend to put on weight.
💜 Slow down or prevent disease processes typically related to ageing –
👉 Reduced levels of phosphorous with increased essential fatty acids for kidney support.
👉 Joint support in the form of glucosamine, MSM and essential fatty acids.
👉 Increased levels of antioxidants, such as vitamin E and selenium, to help cats cope with the increased demands of oxidative stress associated with ageing.
