This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your cat’s temperament, activity level and environment.
Cats by nature can indulge in 12 to 20 small meals throughout the day and night so it is very important that the cat’s daily food ration should be permanently available so they can eat at their own pace.
Remember, when changing your cat’s food or diet allow 7 – 10 days to ease the transition from your cat’s current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more of the new until you are feeding the new food exclusively. This gradual transition is important and will help to avoid any dietary upsets.
Always provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily.
For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.
