Frequently Asked Questions

My cat is 6 years old, is it too early for this recipe?

6 years is still considered adult. You can start the transition to a senior recipe around 7 years old, or earlier if you already notice signs of aging (easy weight gain, joint stiffness). Every cat is unique.

My senior cat has lost his appetite for his usual kibble—could this help?

Often yes. Senior cats can lose their appetite with age, and a recipe tailored to their needs may help rekindle interest. The size and texture of Functional Senior kibble are also optimized for older cats. If the loss of appetite persists, quickly consult the Sherbrooke Canin team or your veterinarian.

Suitable for an overweight senior cat?

The calories are adjusted to seniors’ slower metabolism. For a significantly overweight cat, also control portion sizes and prioritize environmental enrichment (toys, perches) to encourage activity.

What’s the difference compared with the Functional Intérieur recipe?

Both are suitable for a low-activity lifestyle. The recipe Senior adds glucosamine, chondroitin, and controlled phosphorus, specifically for the needs of aging. The recipe Interior focuses more on weight and hairballs.
