Life Stage Diets and Your Cat


Cat food manufacturers offer foods to support your cat throughout the different stages of her life. There is extra protein and fat in kitten food to support your cat’s developing brain and growing muscles and bones. However, once your cat approaches her first birthday, this kitten food is too high in calories and can contribute to obesity. Thus you should change her diet to an adult formula food. She can eat this food for most of her life but consider changing to a mature or senior formula food once she starts showing signs of aging. There are foods that help in managing health issues such as hairball control, urinary tract health, and weight management. Other foods are only available by prescription. Gradually change foods to prevent digestive issues. Change the ratio of the two foods over about a week or so. For more information, contact your vet clinic Lakewood Ranch, FL.
