Nutrition FAQ

Nutrition plays a crucial role in increasing the longevity of cats by supporting their overall health and preventing various diseases. Here are some key ways in which proper nutrition can help:

A balanced diet provides all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that a cat needs to maintain good health. This includes proteins for muscle maintenance, fats for energy, and carbohydrates for additional energy needs.

Proper nutrition helps maintain a healthy weight, preventing obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. Portion control and feeding schedules are important to avoid overeating.

Certain nutrients have disease-preventive properties. For example, antioxidants like vitamins E and C can help protect cells from damage, reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation.

Dental issues can lead to serious health problems in cats. Providing food that promotes dental health, such as specially formulated dental diets or incorporating dry kibble into their diet, can help prevent dental diseases.

High-quality cat foods are formulated to support digestive health. Ingredients like fiber aid in digestion and prevent gastrointestinal issues such as constipation or diarrhea. Probiotics in the diet can promote a healthy gut flora balance.

Cats are prone to urinary tract issues, especially if they are not getting enough moisture in their diet. Feeding wet food or ensuring adequate water intake can help maintain urinary tract health and prevent conditions like urinary stones.

Nutritional needs change with age. Kittens require different nutrients than adult or senior cats. Providing age-appropriate food ensures that cats receive the right balance of nutrients for their specific life stage, supporting their growth, maintenance, or aging process.

Some cats have food allergies or intolerances. Identifying and avoiding allergenic ingredients can prevent adverse reactions and improve overall health and comfort.
