Cats enter their twilight stage as they enter their 7^th year. The result of years of wear and tear soon manifest as health problems that many senior cats have to contend with. As their body’s metabolism, immune system, and composition changes, they will need all the support and care that their cat parents can give so they will be able to live their twilight years relatively healthy and pain-free.

While some health conditions of senior cats are unavoidable, there are those that can be managed with a nutritionally balanced diet.

Senior cats are slowing down and they will need less caloric intake, without compromising essential nutrients in their diet. They should be started on a diet specifically formulated for senior pets at about 7 years of age. 

The ration of senior cats is designed to ensure health and maintain an ideal body weight, slow down the progress or prevent the further development of chronic disease, and reduce or alleviate signs of existing diseases.
