Feeding Management

When switching your cat’s diet, we recommend transitioning from the current diet to our Fat Cats Low Calorie Dry Cat Formula over a 10 day period. Replace 10% of the current diet with our Fat Cats Formula each day until they are fully transitioned. If you do not have any of your current formula to mix, reduce the amount of Fat Cats Low Calorie Dry Cat Formula fed for the first few days, feeding smaller more frequent meals and increase over time. Do not free feed.

Remember, fresh clean water should be available at all times!
