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 additional 2 lbs of body weight, increase the serving by 1/4 cup (30g).

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: Swap out 20-25% of your cat's current food with this formula each day, building up over 5 days until the transition is complete.
• Sensitive Stomach Cats: For cats whose digestion is easily unsettled, stretching the transition out to 10-14 days gives the gut more time to adjust without discomfort.
• Feeding Portions: Use the chart above as a starting point, adjusting serving sizes to suit your cat's age, size, activity level, and living environment.
• Split Daily Meals: Rather than one large serving, splitting the daily amount across two or more meals helps keep digestion consistent and energy levels more even throughout the day.
• 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 quick check with your vet is advisable before changing your cat's food, particularly for those managing allergies or an ongoing health condition.
• Transition Slowly: Abrupt food changes can upset your cat's digestion; always introduce new food gradually over a minimum 5-day period.
• Monitor Stool Consistency: If stools become loose and do not firm up after a few days, slow the transition process further until your cat adjusts.
• Indoor Cats: Most indoor cats are less active, so monitor weight closely and adjust feeding amounts to prevent overfeeding and maintain ideal body condition.

Possible Side Effects

• Initial Stool Changes: Some cats may experience soft stools or increased stool volume during the first week of transitioning to this higher-fiber food.
• Potential Fish Sensitivity: Individual cats may react to fish proteins such as salmon; monitor your cat closely for any signs of food intolerance after feeding.
• Digestive Adjustment Period: Higher fiber content may cause temporary digestive changes, which typically normalize as the cat adjusts over time.

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.
