Weight & Diabetic formula is designed to aid your cat in the weight loss process. It is a comprehensive dietary food with lower levels of fat and energy. The diet includes elevated fibre content to promote satiety after meals. The protein content is also increased to prevent muscle loss while losing weight. Moreover, vitamin and mineral levels in the food have been adjusted to ensure adequacy when given in smaller portions.
This diet is suitable for cats during their weight loss journey, when they have permanently lower energy requirements, and even after the weight loss period. It facilitates reaching and maintaining an ideal weight for your cat. Weight & Diabetic is also helpful in treating (non-chronic) constipation due to the inclusion of various types of fibre in the food. The elevated fibre content and use of slow-release carbohydrates make it a suitable diet for animals struggling to maintain a stable blood sugar level
