What are Low-Carb Diet options for my diabetic cat?
Has your cat recently been diagnosed with diabetes or another condition that calls for a low carb diet? Check out this comprehensive list of options.
| Your veterinarian has suggested your feline friend be fed a low carbohydrate diet in an effort to improve his or her health. This diet is ONLY effective if you discontinue feeding ALL dry foods COMPLETELY and feed ONLY the flavors listed below due to the high number of carbohydrates found in most cat foods. These foods are found at your local grocery & pet stores and are calculated on a dry matter basis. Please DO NOT limit their intake - feed them if they want more canned food. Most cats eat 1 to 1 & 1/2 cans of 5.5 ounce cans per day. It is always best to feed cats 3 - 4 times daily to ensure freshness, though twice daily is sufficient for most households. We must warn you that cats on low carbohydrate diets have stronger smelling feces and more moisture in the litter box due to the high protein in their diets. | ||
