Prior to prescribing, individual target weight should be determined.The energy allowance (kcal) per kg target bodyweight is based on the cat’s body condition score (BCS) (ie. 30 kcal for a BCS of 3.5 or 4.0 and 35 kcal for a BCS of 4.5 or 5.0).If the cat refuses to eat or loses weight too rapidly, there is a risk of hepatic lipidosis.
Selected fibres, chicory pulp and psyllium contents that promote quick and lasting satiety effect in cats and contribute to increase the volume of the food distributed.
The Obesity Management Feline formula with high mineral and vitamin concentration compensates for the effect of energy restriction ensuring a proper nutritional supply.
Chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine help to maintain normal mobility in the highly stressed joints of obese pets.
Essential fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6) and trace elements (Cu, Zn) promote a healthy skin and shiny coat.
