Senior cat feeding guide

Here are guidelines for a senior cat (to be adjusted according to activity level and body condition):

Fresh water should always be available. For senior cats, who are at risk of kidney problems, good hydration is even more important.

Frequently asked questions

At what age should I switch to the senior formula?

For cats, the switch to a senior formula is generally made between 10 and 12 years. Signs include: slowing down, easy weight gain, longer sleep, a slight loss of coat shine. If your cat stays very active into older age, you can keep them on the adult formula longer.

Is plant-based food safe for a senior cat?

Yes, as long as the recipe is complete and well formulated. It can even be gentler on the digestive system of an ageing cat. Caution though, if your senior cat has kidney problems: the high protein content (30%) may not be ideal — contact our team for personalised advice.

My senior cat has been scratching more lately, could it help?

Often, yes. Many food sensitivities develop or worsen with age. A recipe with no animal protein or grain removes several potential allergens in one switch.

How long before I see a difference?

After the transition (10-14 days), allow 4 to 8 weeks to observe changes in the coat, digestion, or itching.
