Weight control

Cats are connoisseurs, and always looking for a tasty treat. With modern housing conditions, their otherwise graceful figures have become vulnerable to the addition of a few extra pounds.

You don’t need to worry down to every last gram, but do make sure you keep an eye on your little foodie’s weight. Urgent action is required when they reach 20% (at the most) over their normal weight. Remember: it’s not just your cat’s grace and charm that is at risk, but also their health in general.

Vet-Concept’s low-fat feed is designed to help cats lose weight. It is rich in essential fatty acids, and contains high-quality proteins and a perfect balance of fibres. It will soon help cats get back to their normal weight. They are also ideal for cats whose metabolism is reduced due to old age or illness.

It’s particularly important for cats to lose weight slowly, as an increased mobilisation of fats from the body’s reserves can put enormous pressure on the metabolic processes, especially for the liver. Fasting for several days at a time should be avoided at all costs. L-carnitine can accelerate the burning of fatty acids in the muscle cells, and thus encourage a more consistent and balanced weight loss process – whilst simultaneously preserving muscle mass.

L-carnitine can also support the heart muscle, which is often severely burdened by obesity, as it gets over 60% of its energy from burning fatty acids.
