Because of physiological changes, senior cats have problems with digestion and effectively absorbing the nutrients from their food. It is also possible for aging cats to experience a decline in their senses of taste and smell.
Veterinarians can recommend a highly digestible or absorbable, tasty and high-quality senior cat diet to assist healthful aging and manage age-related illnesses. Cats often experience problems maintaining hydrated as they age, and they frequently require more water intake to avert dehydration and support renal function.
Your pet can obtain a more increased fluid intake by increasing the fluid content of their meals and drinking more water. It is always best to talk to your veterinarian about providing additional food in your pet’s diet.
Keeping water dishes throughout the house helps stimulate intake and keep your pet hydrated. But, always ensure that you replace the water often. You may also use pet water fountains, encouraging cats to drink more.
A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your local veterinarian Louisville, KY.
