Product Description

Clinical nutrition formulated for cats with cognitive dysfunction and compromised mobility

Primary Product Recommendation

Cognitive + Mobility

Key Benefits

Prescription Diet Brain Care + j/d Wet Cat Food is clinical nutrition formulated for cats with cognitive dysfunction and compromised mobility due to degenerative joint disease (eg, osteoarthritis). These conditions increase in occurrence as cats age and most often are associated with behavior changes such as decreased activity, excessive vocalization, changes in social interactions with people/other pets, changes in sleep/wake cycle, wandering/pacing, decreased abiity to jump up/down or as high, and accidents outside the litter box.

Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet Brain Care + j/d Cat Food with an exclusive blend of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and antioxidants to help improve these age-related behaviors. Recommending the right nutrition early and feeding it consistently helps fortify their brain against the effects of age-related decline.

These characteristics make Prescription Diet Brain Care + j/d, a useful nutritional aid for cats with cognitive dysfunction and compromised mobility.
