The role of dietary management in feline heart disease is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Feeding controlled levels of key nutrients may reduce the workload on the heart while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Because heart failure may compromise other internal organs such as the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and liver, it is also important to provide a highly digestible, easily metabolized diet that the patient will readily consume. Adult cats get complete and balanced nutrition with this formula. With low sodium and high potassium, CV CardioVascular Formula is especially appropriate for cats with certain heart conditions. This feline formula is also appropriate for use in both cats and dogs during treatment for and/or recovery from serious illness. The higher levels of protein, fat and calories provide the nutritional support necessary for healing and recovery.
DM (Diabetes Management) The role of dietary management in feline diabetes mellitus is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Cats are unique in their requirement to metabolize high concentration of dietary protein. A high percentage of protein is used for gluconeogenesis. The increase concentration of high quality protein in this diet provides the cat’s essential amino acid requirements and a substrate for glucose production. With glucose production from dietary amino acids, the carbohydrate content of the diet may be dramatically reduced as with this formulation. Glucose derived from hepatic gluconeogenesis is delivered to the bloodstream at a slower rate compared to the release of glucose from digestion of dietary carbohydrate. The result is a more consistent, steady release of glucose and the potential for reduced insulin requirements. This high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet fits a cat’s unique metabolism. This formulation helps to manage glucose levels in diabetic cats while meeting their special dietary needs.
The role of dietary management in feline kidney conditions is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Low phosphorus intake helps to protect against hyperphosphatemia and the associated renal damage. Restricted but high quality protein in the diet minimizes the intake of nonessential amino acids. This helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium help compensate for the diseased kidney’s inability to regulate this important mineral. Increased omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce glomerular hypertension. With low protein and phosphorus, and added B-complex vitamins and potassium, NF KidNey Function Formula provides specially formulated nutrition for cats with certain kidney conditions. Balanced for maintenance in cats, this diet is highly palatable.
The role of dietary management in feline obesity is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Dietary fats contribute more than twice the available energy compared to carbohydrates and protein. A low fat diet can be helpful in controlling calorie intake. Dietary crude fiber is poorly digested and helps reduce the amount of available calories and may contribute to satiety. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to be restricted in calories and high in fiber may be beneficial in the management of obesity while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Overweight cats should be fed low-fat, high-fiber, reduced-calorie diets. With OM Overweight Management Formula, weight loss is healthy because cats lose fat and retain muscle. Ask your veterinarian for details on a complete weight-loss program, including a computerized feeding plan designed to help adjust for your cat’s individual needs.
The role of dietary management in struvite-related Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (LUTD) is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to encourage acidification of urine can help reduce the formation of struvite crystals and stones while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Because not all cases of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease are associated with struvite crystals or stones, it is important to conduct appropriate diagnostic tests before implementing dietary management. UR URinary Formula helps to safely produce an acidic urinary pH for cats with struvite-associated lower urinary tract disease. This special formulation provides complete and balanced nutrition in an easily digestible formula for the maintenance of adult cats.
