As we continue this week’s series of tips on senior cats, today Wendy Diamond looks at an axiom that’s often used with humans but applies to senior felines as well:
The saying “You are what you eat” applies to animals just as much as it does to humans! That’s why it’s so important to be mindful of what is going into your cat’s stomach.
Older cats have delicate digestive systems, and their ability to extract nutrition from their food begins to diminish. Pet parents need to make sure that the food that their aging feline consumes is composed of quality ingredients, bursting with nutrition.
Feed your senior cat Hill’s Science Diet Senior 11+ Age Defying Cat Food. Their breakthrough formula of antioxidants and omega 6 fatty acids, alongside wholesome ingredients that address the four signs of aging, help senior cats feel younger in just 30 days. The special formula includes fish oil for healthy brain function, small, easily chewed and digested, kibble, L-Carnitine to increase lean muscle development and agility, Phosphorus for bladder health, and Amino Acids to maintain healthy organs.
