Royal Canine Care Nutrition Light Weight Care (WET FOOD)

Product Features:

• Designed for Overweight or Less Active Cats: This wet food is specifically formulated for adult cats that need to manage their weight or maintain a healthy weight. It is ideal for cats that are less active, neutered, or overweight and may struggle with excess fat.

• Supports Weight Management: The formula contains balanced protein levels, low fat content, and high fiber to help cats feel fuller for longer while promoting gradual weight loss. It encourages healthy fat loss while maintaining lean muscle mass.

• Helps Maintain Lean Body Mass: It includes high-quality protein (such as chicken) to help your cat maintain lean muscle mass while losing excess fat. This is crucial to ensure your cat stays healthy during weight loss without sacrificing muscle.

• Promotes Satiety: The inclusion of fiber and prebiotics helps promote a feeling of fullness, reducing the likelihood of begging for extra food. This helps your cat stick to a weight management plan by ensuring they’re satisfied after meals.

• Supports Digestive Health: The wet food includes highly digestible proteins and prebiotics (FOS) that help support a healthy gut and optimize nutrient absorption, which is particularly important for cats on a weight management diet.

• Hydration: Being a wet food, it provides your cat with much-needed moisture, which helps keep them hydrated, especially beneficial for cats that don't drink enough water.

Key Ingredients:

• Chicken: A high-quality source of animal-based protein that helps support lean muscle mass and provides essential amino acids for overall health.

• Rice: A digestible carbohydrate that provides energy without contributing to excess fat. It's gentle on the digestive system and offers a steady release of energy.

• Beet Pulp: A source of fiber that helps maintain digestive health and regular bowel movements, while also promoting a feeling of fullness, which is important for weight management.

• Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids - EPA/DHA): These essential fatty acids help reduce inflammation, promote skin and coat health, and support overall cell function. They also help regulate fat metabolism.

• Prebiotics (FOS): These beneficial fibers nourish good gut bacteria, supporting digestive health and optimal nutrient absorption. A healthy digestive system is key for weight management and overall well-being.

• Taurine: An essential amino acid that supports heart health, vision, and overall metabolic function. It's especially important for cats, as they cannot produce taurine naturally.

• L-carnitine: A nutrient that helps with fat metabolism, helping to promote fat burning while maintaining muscle mass, which is essential for weight loss.

• Vitamins (A, D, E, C): These vitamins provide antioxidants that support immune health, skin health, and protect against oxidative stress, which is important for cats on a calorie-controlled diet.

• Minerals (Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium): Essential for bone health, muscle function, and metabolic processes. Proper mineral balance supports overall health, especially during weight management.

Usage Instructions:

• Feeding Guidelines: The recommended daily feeding amount depends on your cat’s weight, age, and metabolism. Below are general guidelines for portion sizes:

  • For a 2-3kg cat: Feed approximately 1/2 to 1 pouch per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 4-5kg cat: Feed approximately 1 to 1.5 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 6-7kg cat: Feed approximately 1.5 to 2 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  Note: Adjust portions based on your cat’s specific needs. If your cat is on a weight loss journey, it's important to monitor their weight regularly and avoid overfeeding.

• Serving: Serve at room temperature for the best texture and taste. Open the pouch and place the food in a clean, shallow bowl. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside the meal to ensure your cat stays hydrated.

• Storage: If there are leftovers, store the opened pouch in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. Do not leave wet food out for more than 2 hours to avoid bacterial growth.

Additional Tips:

• Weight Management: To ensure weight loss or weight maintenance, it’s important to monitor your cat’s progress and adjust portions accordingly. Regular weigh-ins can help track the effectiveness of the diet. Gradual weight loss (around 1-2% of body weight per week) is recommended to avoid health risks.

• Encourage Activity: Alongside a weight-controlled diet, encourage your cat to be more active. Playtime, interactive toys, or even climbing furniture can help increase energy expenditure and promote weight loss.

• Hydration: Wet food helps keep your cat hydrated, but always provide fresh, clean water alongside their meals. Dehydration can cause or worsen health issues, especially in overweight cats.

• Monitor Health: Keep an eye on your cat's condition, especially if they’re losing weight. Sudden weight loss or gain could be an indication of an underlying health problem, so it's always a good idea to check in with your vet for regular health assessments.

• Consistency: Stick to a consistent feeding schedule to avoid overeating and encourage proper digestion. Feeding at the same times each day helps establish a routine and manage portion control.

• Vet Consultation: Consult your veterinarian before starting your cat on a weight management program. They may recommend specific amounts or additional supplements based on your cat’s individual health needs.
