Senior Cat Food
When should I stop feeding my cat adult food and switch to senior cat food?
The best time to begin feeding senior food to your aging cat is between the ages of 7 and 8 years.
What is the difference between adult cat food and senior cat food?
At this point in your cat’s life, his or her nutritional requirements have changed. Older cats typically spend more time relaxing than exercising, leading to a propensity for weight gain. For this reason, senior cat food is formulated with fewer calories to keep your cat’s weight under control. Senior foods also deliver specific vitamin and mineral levels to meet the exact needs of geriatric felines. Some senior cats require soft, canned foods because of declining dental health, and some require a specific diet that accounts for their specific health conditions. Whatever your cat’s needs, you’ll find the best foods at Allivet!
