Do you have an obese cat? If yes, it is time to get your cat’s health in order. This article will provide you beneficial tips on how you can help your obese cat combat feline obesity.
If you have every watched an Animal Channel documentary on lions, cheetahs or leopards you will notice none of the felines are obese cats.
Your cat should not be obese either.
Unlike wild cats, your obese cat is receiving the adequate exercise he or she needs. Not to mention, your cat may not be eating the best kind of dry food.
Many cat food products are full of starchy carbohydrates, have little to no meat are composed of water depleted dry kibble.
In the U.S.A there’s a feline obesity epidemic occurring.
As the caregiver of your cat, it’s your responsibility to provide your cat a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.
Feeding your cat a healthier diet can put your pet on the path to a healthier weight and overall healthier lifestyle.
My Pet Store And More recommends feeding your cat canned cat food rather than dry kibble to start on health recovery.
Here are some reasons why dry cat food is unhealthy for cats:
- Dry cat food is water depleted which can endanger the feline urinary tract.
- Dry cat food is high in carbohydrates. When your cat has too much dry food in his or her diet, it can alter the blood sugar level of your cat. If the blood sugar level is unbalanced, it can contribute to feline obesity.
You can lower the affect dry cat food has on your cat by providing dry cat food in moderation and feeding your cat more canned cat food or raw food.
You should also take into account the method of feeding distribution to your cat.
A cat that is free fed will have a hard time regulating his or her intake of dry cat food.
Freeze Dried Chicken and Salmon Catfood.
To prevent your cat from overeating, you can incorporate more protein and fat into your cat’s diet to naturally slow down his/her food intake. Cats that eat dry cat food full of carbohydrates will continue to eat because the cat enjoys the taste of the kibble without acknowledging he/she is full during meals.
To branch away from free feeding, take away the cat food bowl for a few hours. This will reduce the level of food your cat takes in daily and make the transition to meal feeding easier. Don’t allow your indoor cat to eat for any other reason than living. It’s unacceptable for a cat to overeat out of boredom or based on food being in front of him/her.
