James Wellbeloved Light Turkey Cat Food

James Wellbeloved Turkey Light is formulated to meet the needs of the adult cat which is overweight or which is prone to weight gain. It contains 15% fewer calories than our standard adult food and has higher levels of dietary fibre to help the cat feel fuller with a lower calorie intake. A higher protein level increases the likelihood that any weight loss will be loss of fatty tissue rather than muscle tissue. Because they may be under more strain in the heavier cat, we support joints and heart with a mix of glucosamine, chondroitin, herbs and extra taurine.

A complete dry food with the bonus that it is hypo-allergenic. With selected protein source (turkey), it is a dietetic food, excellent for the reduction of ingredient and nutrient intolerences. We suggest that the food be tried for a period of 3 to 8 weeks. If the signs of the food intolerence disappear, continue feeding indefinitely.

Feeding guidelines

If you think your cat is overweight, you should speak to your vet before starting a weight reduction programme. Too rapid a loss can be dangerous for your cat so it is important to weigh your cat regularly to ensure that weekly weight loss is no higher than the maximum given in the table below. Our feeding guide is worked out for the average cat of the weight shown but your cat could differ substantially from average - requirements vary considerably between cats of the same weight. The predicted weight loss is based on a 15% reduction in calorie intake from the level necessary to maintain current weight. If your cat fails to lose weight, you should consult a vet.
