Finding Low Protein Cat Food
If your cat has been diagnosed with a kidney problem, CRF or other diseases that impact the kidney or digestive tract, your veterinarian may recommend that you start feeding your cat low protein cat food.
Low protein cat food takes the pressure off your cat’s kidneys and digestive system. Your veterinarian may suggest that you feed your cat exclusively a diet of low protein cat food or combine it with other food. It is important that you follow their instructions and monitor your cat closely.
It is not always easy to find low protein cat food in grocery stores or discount chains but you can sometimes find it. You will have more success finding these specialty cat foods at online retailers and specialty retailers (Petco, etc).
Once you start your cat on this new diet it may take them a little time for them to adjust. Try to monitor them carefully and confirm they are eating enough food. You should also note if there are any changes to their behavior and their excretions.
If you are having difficulty finding this specialty cat food at your local pet store you should find an online retailer. Typically, an online retailer will have more options and better pricing than most local cat stories.
You may need this new food for a short period time, an extended period of time or permanently. If you are going to use it for an extended period of time you will want to find a good brand at a very fair price. Some online research should help you determine the best food to buy.
Anyone in the market for cat food that is low in protein should check specialty stores and online retailers. Once you have found a food that works you should make sure you keep it in stock at all times.
