Directions for Use
- Calibrate Portions: Daily feeding amounts should be adjusted as needed to help each cat maintain an optimal body weight, and a veterinarian should be consulted when there is any doubt about the right quantity.
- Switch Foods Gradually: Gradually shift the ratio from the previous food to the new food over a full 7 days, increasing the new and reducing the old with each passing day.
- Always Provide Fresh Water: Fresh drinking water should be available to the cat at all times throughout the day alongside each meal to support daily hydration.
- Refrigerate After Opening: Cover and refrigerate any unused portion from an opened can right away to preserve freshness and food safety before the next serving.
- Reassess Needs as Cat Ages: A cat's nutritional requirements may shift as they get older, making it worthwhile to review the feeding plan with a veterinarian at each routine check-up.
