Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between premium food and regular food?
A. There are differences in the quality of raw materials and digestibility. Premium has a high meat content and is allergen-friendly by reducing grains. Although it is 2 to 3 times more expensive per month, there may be a clear difference in the amount of stool and physical condition.
Q. Is homemade food okay?
A. Nutritional balance is difficult, so a comprehensive nutritional diet (dry food) is safe for beginners. If you want to make your own food, get guidance from a veterinary nutritionist or learn nutritional calculations from a manual on homemade food.
Q. How do you decide the amount of food?
A. Adjust according to the pet's weight, age, activity level, and whether or not it is neutered, referring to the feeding amount chart on the package. Ideally, you should weigh yourself once a month and make fine adjustments using your body shape score (BCS).
Q. What is a therapeutic diet?
A. Prescription food nutritionally adjusted for specific illnesses (kidney, urinary tract, allergies, obesity, etc.). Purchased with a veterinarian's prescription. If you decide to return to a normal diet on your own, the disease will worsen, so please strictly follow the instructions.
Q. How to change the hood
A. Changing it suddenly can cause indigestion. The golden rule is to gradually increase the old:new = 9:1 โ†’ 7:3 โ†’ 5:5 โ†’ 3:7 โ†’ 0:10 over 7 to 10 days. If diarrhea or vomiting occurs, return the cat or consult a veterinarian.
