Senior Cat Food

Once your feline friend becomes seven years old, they gain the status of a senior in the cat world. You will often find seven-year-old cats less playful and spending more time indoors. While some loss of energy is common for senior cats, their diet needs to be updated once they reach seniority to ensure that they remain in good health. With a decrease in activity level, your furry friend also runs the risk of obesity and related diseases which makes changes in diet even more essential. This is why Whiskas^®, has food for senior cats tailored specially for the dietary requirements of 7+ years old senior cats.

Important Nutrients for Senior Cat Food

Common adult cat food often fails to supply the special dietary needs of senior cats. Therefore, it is always advisable to shift to cat food made specifically for 7+ year olds for their all-round wellbeing. Typically, food for senior cats should have a higher protein content and lower calories to ensure optimal body weight in our senior feline friends.

Here are some other essential nutrients for your senior cat:

1. Higher protein to maintain lean body mass. Proteins must be high quality and easily digestible such as chicken, tuna, and mackerel.
2. Healthy fats for a complete and balanced diet
3. Hydration is essential Besides moisture content in food, it is also helpful to leave bowls of water around the house to encourage your senior cat to stay hydrated throughout the day.
4. Antioxidants for a strong immune system

WHISKAS® range of senior wet and dry cat food products such as the WHISKAS® tuna cat food is specially designed to include all nutrients necessary for your senior diva.

Difference between Wet and Dry Cat Food (250)

There are different varieties of both wet and dry cat food for senior cats available in the market. As our feline friends age, mixed feeding, with a balance of wet and dry food, is particularly recommended for our fur buddies. This is to meet the changing appetite and dietary requirements of the senior cats.
Senior cats often begin to lose appetite, become finicky about food, and don’t drink as much water as they should. At the same time, with age, it becomes crucial to address issues of obesity, and dental and bone health. Mixed feeding allows the multiple benefits of wet and dry food, helping cat parents address all these concerns.

Wet Cat Food

1. More moisture: Senior cats often have reduced thirst responses, making them prone to dehydration. The higher moisture content in wet cat food ensures proper hydration levels, crucial for kidney health and preventing urinary tract issues.
2. Easier to eat: The soft texture of wet food is gentler on aging teeth and gums, while also aiding in digestion, reducing the likelihood of digestive upset or discomfort.
3. Flavourful and aromatic: highly palatable for senior cats with reduced senses, enticing them to eat and ensuring they receive essential nutrients.

Dry Cat Food

1. Dental health: Although senior cats may have dental issues, the crunchy texture of dry cat food can help dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup and maintaining gum health.
2. Longer shelf life
3. Lower in calories and fats- ideal for overweight kitties

How to choose the right Senior Cat Food for your Cat (150)

Make sure to look for cat food specially tailored to the dietary requirements of 7+ old felines that will also be easily digestible, healthy, and palatable to the senior cat. Here are some fundamental steps to choosing the perfect food for your senior feline furry:

1. Fix an appointment with your vet to understand your senior cat’s changing taste buds and dietary requirements before selecting the right cat food.
2. It is best to avoid free feeding. Fix eating schedules for your cat to maintain a healthy weight.
3. Always check the ingredients and calorie content on the pack of the cat food.
4. Try mixed feeding for a balanced dietary approach.
5. Since it is common for senior cats to be more temperamental about food, experiment with a variety of flavours to see which type they like best.
