Helpful Tips
This product is intended for weight maintenance. Should you choose to feed for
weight loss use an ideal or target body weight rather than the current body
weight and consult your veterinarian.
These amounts are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to
maintain proper weight or for appropriate weight loss. Adjust as needed. If you
are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new
food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
If switching from a canned food, make sure the cat drinks an adequate quantity
of water to avoid constipation.
Keep fresh water available at all times!
When supplementing with canned food, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid
overfeeding.
We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year
for regular health check-ups.
Science Diet is available in a wide variety of dry foods for your cat's unique
needs. Canned cat food is also available from Science Diet in a variety of
delicious textures and flavors that your cat will love.
To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and
children.
