Feeding Guide
How to adjust feeding amounts to maintain optimal weight.
- Determine the amount to feed based on the ideal weight rather than the current weight.
- Provide specific feeding instructions for your patient.
- Daily Feeding Recommendations are only a guide and a place to start.
- Grams are the most accurate form of measurement; cups are estimated from grams.
- Monitoring your patient's condition will assure the nutritional recommendation provides the best results.
- Do not allow obese cats to consume less than 80% of recommended feeding amount. Fasting may increase the risk of hepatic lipidosis.
- Gradually transition to this new food for 7 days or more.
- Reinforce with clients to feed Prescription Diet dry food, canned food, & treats exclusively.
