It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Like a cross between a life stages diet and prescription medication, therapeutic food can be a good supplement to your cat\u2019s veterinary care. A custom diet can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meet your sick kitty\u2019s specific nutritional needs<\/li>\n<li>Boost the functioning and health of an organ, body part, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid certain allergens, in some cases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since these foods play a very important role and contain specific ingredients, they\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p>Where can you find specialized cat food? At your local vet clinic. That\u2019s because this type of food requires monitoring by a feline health and nutrition expert like your veterinarian.<\/p>\n<p>First your vet will ask you some questions, run some tests, and make or confirm a diagnosis. Then they\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>Your vet can also give you advice on tailoring the rest of your cat\u2019s 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\u2019s diet will interfere with their treatment and the better quality of life that comes with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeding your cat a prescription diet formulated for their condition What is vet-recommended cat food?
