Possible Side Effects

Q4: Is this product a complete and balanced meal on its own?

Q7: Is this suitable for cats already on a fish diet?
Ans: Yes, for most cats this formula pairs well with any existing diet. However, cats with known sensitivities specifically to fish or seafood should be introduced to this topper slowly. Always consult your veterinarian if your cat has a history of food sensitivities or allergic reactions.
Q8: How should I transition my cat to this new topper?
