How to Use

Recommended Feeding Guide (Standard 8 oz dry measuring cup — approximately 4.2 oz / 120g per cup):

Cats over 16 lbs: For every extra 2 lbs of body weight, add a further 1/4 cup (30g) to the serving.

Kittens: Keep food available at all times. Adjust to maintain body condition. Total may be divided into multiple feedings.

Reproduction: Depending on litter size, feeding needs may be 2 to 4 times normal adult amounts. Always adjust to maintain body condition.

Disclaimer: This feeding information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before changing or adjusting your dog's diet.

Directions for Use

• Transition Gradually: Replace 20-25% of your cat's current food with this formula daily, increasing over 5 days until fully switched.
• Sensitive Stomach Cats: For cats with digestive sensitivity, extend the transition period to 10-14 days for smoother adaptation to the new diet.
• Feeding Portions: Use the chart above as a guide; always adjust amounts based on your cat's age, size, activity level, and environment.
• Split Daily Meals: Divide the total recommended daily amount into more than one feeding per day to support steady digestion and balanced energy.
• Fresh Water Always: Ensure a clean bowl of fresh water is available at all times, as water is an essential nutrient for cats.
• Eliminate Treats Temporarily: Remove treats and wet food for the first few days of transition to help your cat adjust more smoothly.
• No Supplements Needed: Since this formula is complete and balanced, do not add vitamins, minerals, or other supplements unless advised by a veterinarian.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Consult Your Vet: A conversation with your vet is advisable before changing your cat's food, particularly for those dealing with allergies or an existing health condition.
• Transition Slowly: Changing foods too quickly can disrupt your cat's digestion, so work the new formula in gradually over at least five days rather than switching all at once.
• Monitor Stool Consistency: If stools stay loose after a few days, ease back on the transition pace and allow more time before increasing the new food further.
• Indoor Cats: Less active indoor cats can gain weight more easily, so keep a close eye on portions and scale back if your cat's condition starts to change.

Possible Side Effects

• Initial Stool Changes: During the first week of transitioning, some cats may pass softer stools or produce a higher volume than usual as the digestive system gets used to the increased fibre.
• Potential Food Sensitivity: Every cat is different, so keep a close eye on your cat after feeding and watch for any signs that a particular ingredient is not agreeing with them.
• Digestive Adjustment Period: The higher fibre content may cause some temporary changes in digestion, but these generally settle down as your cat's system adapts over the following weeks.

Storage Information

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the bag sealed and stored away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight to preserve ingredient freshness and quality.
• Seal Bag After Use: Always reseal the bag tightly after each feeding to maintain ingredient quality and prevent moisture or contamination.
• Keep Away From Pests: Store in a secure container or pantry to prevent exposure to insects or rodents that could compromise the food.
