Feline Nutrition

Good nutrition is vital for the health and longevity of cats. Clinicians should assess a cat’s condition, diet, and feeding management and advise owners on diet selection and management. Many diseases, such as obesity, are affected directly by nutrition and may be prevented or treated by proper nutrition. Hospitalized or ill cats are often at risk for malnutrition and many cats benefit from support with anti-emetics, appetite stimulants, and/or assisted enteral or parenteral feeding.
