Royal Canin Feline Vet Care Nutrition – Senior Consult Stage 1 Balance is a complete dietetic food for older cats aged 7 years or older. The recipe has been especially designed to be high in antioxidants, which can improve your older cat’s overall wellbeing as well as slowing the ageing process.
As your cat gets older, its metabolism changes and so does its digestion, which means that its diet needs to change to help it to stay healthy and fit. Royal Canin Feline Vet Care Nutrition – Senior Consult Stage 1 Balance is specifically formulated with the right balance of selected nutrients to meet your senior cat’s nutritional requirements.
Older cats can often gain weight due to metabolic changes and inactivity. This dry cat food contains selected fibres that help your cat to feel full more quickly, so that it does not overat. A combination of soluble fibre (psyllium) and insoluble fibres with a high water binding capacity help to reduce your cat’s daily food intake, which in turn reduces the daily energy intake.
Further effects of the ageing process are changes to your cat’s skin and coat, which can lose their shine and also become more sensitive. It is common for senior cats to suffer from renal problems, which is why this food has a moderate phosphorus content. The protein content contains essential amino acids.
Suitable for:
- Senior, neutered cats (aged 7+)
- Vitality
- A healthy body weight
- Vitality complex: the selected nutrients help support the needs of a senior cat. This includes a moderate phosphorus content (supporting renal function), an antioxidant complex (regulating oxidative stress), and an enrichment of amino acids and phosphatidylserine (a naturally occurring phospholipid).
- High fibre: fibres selected for their satiating effect to help maintain a healthy body weight.
- S/O INDEX: by feeding your cat a food with S/O index helps to create a pH neutral urine. This is very important, as it can reduce the risk of calcium oxalate stones and crystals and struvite.
