Lean Cat Food
$26.99
Description
Our Lean Cat Food formula is very similar to our adult cat food. It contains 28% protein from Chicken, Eggs, Brewers Yeast and Fish, but has less then half the fat of the normal adult cat food formula. The Lean formula is great for grown cats that need to slim down or indoor cats that do not get much of exercise. We add a couple very important ingredients like Taurine which ensures normal heart function, vision and reproduction and Cranberry for urinary tract health. This formula is an excellent choice for cats that free feed or need to lose weight. As usual, our dry foods are preserved with mixed tocopherols, a natural source of vitamin E, that keep the food from spoiling the way canned food does.
Free feeding is widely used and recommended. If free feeding is not your desired feeding choice, follow the suggestions below.
| Cat Weight (lbs) | Daily Feeding Amount (cups) |
| Up to 7 | 1/4 to 1/2 |
| 8 to 10 | 1/2 to 3/4 |
| 11 to 14 | 3/4 to 11/2 |
| 15 to 18 | 11/4 to 13/4 |
| Over 18 | Add 1/8 cup for each additional 3 lbs of body weight. |
How Much Water Does My Cat Need?
As your cat consumes more calories and produces more metabolic waste, he needs more water to maintain his body temperature. In general, an adult cat should drink roughly the same amount of water (in milliliters) as the number of kilocalories eaten per day. Dry cat food contains 7 percent to 12 percent water, while canned food can measure up to 80 percent water. Cats who eat only dry food don’t get as much water from their food as those who eat canned food, and should always have easy access to clean, drinking water to supplement their intake.
How Can I Prevent Dehydration?
- Provide clean water for your cat at all times, and change it frequently to ensure freshness. Also, don’t forget to wash your pet’s water bowl every day to prevent bacteria from forming.
- Observe your cat to determine his preference for obtaining water. Some cats prefer certain bowls, while others like either tap or bottled water. Other cats prefer water fountains that can be found at many pet stores. Try placing multiple bowls of water around the house for easier access.
