Supporting Healthy Ageing
Older cats benefit from regular veterinary health checks together with a complete diet appropriate for their age. Maintaining a healthy body weight, encouraging hydration and feeding measured portions all contribute to long-term wellbeing.
Some senior cats prefer softer food textures, making complete wet food an excellent option or an addition to a mixed-feeding routine.
Wet or Dry Food for Senior Cats?
Both complete wet and dry senior cat foods can provide balanced nutrition.
Wet food contains more moisture and may be easier for some older cats to eat, while dry food offers convenient portion control. Many owners feed a combination of both.
Maintaining Healthy Body Condition
Body condition should be monitored regularly as cats age. Unexplained weight loss, weight gain, reduced appetite or increased thirst should always be discussed with your veterinarian.
