Feeding Cats With Special Needs


Cats suffering from specific health issues benefit from a diet that is specially formulated to meet their nutritional needs. 

Hairballs

If your cat is prone to hairballs, choose pet food that is high in omega-3 fatty acids because it promotes hair coat health and reduces shedding. These foods usually have a high fiber content making it easier to expel ingested hair from the digestive tract. 

Obesity 

There are prescription diets that are prescribed for obese or overweight pets. These low-calorie diets usually have a higher protein content and fewer grains. 

Urinary tract infections or thyroid problems 

Cats diagnosed with these conditions benefit from consuming wet or canned pet food. They will benefit from the high water content of wet food to ensure proper hydration. 

Irritable bowel syndrome 

Cats with IBM can benefit from a grain-free diet, a ration that closely resembles the diet of their wild ancestors. 

Be sure to consult with your vet care Frisco, TX before making any changes in your pet’s diet.
