As cats age, their nutritional needs change significantly. Senior cats benefit greatly from a diet designed to support their unique health requirements. Royal Canin Aging 12+ is specifically formulated with high-quality protein to maintain muscle mass, minerals for healthy bones, and essential fatty acids to promote a shiny coat and healthy skin. With flavors that appeal to even the pickiest eaters, this wet food option delivers not only taste but also the hydration senior cats need as their thirst drive diminishes. Additionally, it contains antioxidants and vitamins to help support a strong immune system. When transitioning your senior cat to a new food, it's advisable to do so gradually over 7-10 days. Start by mixing a small amount of the new food with their current diet and gradually increase the percentage of the new food. This helps to avoid any digestive issues that a sudden change might cause. Monitoring your cat’s health closely during this transition is essential to ensure they are thriving on their new diet. Regular vet check-ups will also help to track their health and to make any necessary adjustments to their nutrition.
