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.
