FAQs about Calibra Sterilised Cat Food
Why Do Sterilised Cats Need Specific Food?
Sterilised or neutered cats need a specific type of food as spaying or neutering alters their metabolism, which can lead to weight gain and urinary problems.
Sterilised cat food contains fewer calories to prevent cats from becoming overweight, added fibre to feel fuller for longer, and balanced vitamins and minerals to support urinary tract health.
What Are The Benefits Of Sterilised Cat Food?
- Weight management: Sterilised cat food contains a lower fat level to help with weight management and reduce stress on joints, along with the risk of diabetes in neutered or spayed cats.
- Urinary health: Because sterilised cats are more prone to urinary tract issues, sterilised food includes balanced mineral levels like magnesium and calcium to control urinary ph.
- Maintaining muscle mass: Sterilised food contains a higher protein content to maintain a cat's muscle mass, metabolism, and overall health.
- Feel full for longer: With fewer calories, sterilised recipes include an increased fibre content to help cats feel full and reduce overfeeding.
Can Non-Sterilised Cats Eat Sterilised Cat Food?
Unless specified by a vet, we wouldn’t recommend feeding sterilised food to a non-sterilised cat. Your cat won’t have a negative reaction, but they won’t be getting the right number of calories in their diet due to sterilised recipes being designed with fewer calories and fat content to prevent weight gain.
Can Kittens Eat Sterilised Cat Food?
Kittens need more calories than an adult cat due to their rapid growth. For this reason, we wouldn’t recommend feeding your kitten a sterilised diet, unless specifically guided by your vet.
Does Sterilised Cat Food Prevent Urinary Problems?
Yes, sterilised diets have been formulated to assist with urinary health by including controlled minerals and pH levels, increasing water intake and promoting a healthy weight. However, it’s important to note that sterilised cat food is only a preventative and is not guaranteed to completely rule out urinary issues. Speak to your vet if you think your cat may be suffering from urinary problems.
