Specialized food for your cat
Prevent, treat, or diagnose a condition with a therapeutic diet
If your cat is overweight, has allergies, or is suffering from a health condition, a custom diet may be the cure for what ails them. Your Globalvet team can help you set up a regimen to prevent, treat, or even diagnose your cat’s condition and help them live a long and happy life.
Read on for more information and to get advice from our veterinarians about the therapeutic cat food options that are out there.
Feeding your cat a prescription diet formulated for their condition
What is vet-recommended cat food? It’s food designed to treat specific conditions like allergies, kidney problems, arthritis, diabetes, skin conditions, or weight issues. A therapeutic diet and close monitoring by your vet can prevent, treat, reduce, and in some cases identify health issues in your fur baby.
Like a cross between a life stages diet and prescription medication, therapeutic food can be a good supplement to your cat’s veterinary care. A custom diet can:
- Meet your sick kitty’s specific nutritional needs
- Boost the functioning and health of an organ, body part, etc.
- Avoid certain allergens, in some cases
Since these foods play a very important role and contain specific ingredients, they’re prepared with care, subjected to strict standards at every step of the manufacturing process, and tested to prove their effectiveness and quality. You can rest assured knowing your cat is enjoying a nutrient-rich, premium therapeutic diet that meets their unique needs.
Where can you find specialized cat food? At your local vet clinic. That’s because this type of food requires monitoring by a feline health and nutrition expert like your veterinarian.
First your vet will ask you some questions, run some tests, and make or confirm a diagnosis. Then they’ll write a prescription that includes serving sizes and behavioural changes for you to implement at home. Your vet will follow up to make sure the new regimen is working and tweak it as needed, just as they would for any medication.
Your vet can also give you advice on tailoring the rest of your cat’s diet to their condition. You may love the pitter patter of little paws when you open the cat treat cabinet, but you have to make sure nothing in your cat’s diet will interfere with their treatment and the better quality of life that comes with it.
