IAMS ProActive Health Weight Control Dry Cat Food
Obesity is a common problem in cats. Identifying the cause and following a total weight management program (which includes evaluating your cat and modifying her behaviors) can help with weight control and maintenance. The goal of a good weight management program should be gradual weight loss. This is especially important in cats. Severe nutrient restriction can result in hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver). This is one reason why you should involve your cat’s veterinarian in the weight loss effort.
Per week, cats should lose 1% to 1.5% of their initial weight. A good way to begin a weight loss program in cats is to reduce caloric intake by 30% of their personal maintenance intake, then decrease intake by 10% increments every 2-3 weeks until a 1% weight loss per week is achieved. Your veterinarian can help you figure out how much to feed your cat to lose weight, or follow the weight loss recommendations on the package. Cats who do not respond quickly should see their veterinarian for a special weight loss program.
A total weight management program can lead to successful weight reduction in an obese cat. A complete evaluation by your cat's veterinarian is always recommended. Remember, your help is essential to your cat's success.
