Directions for Use

• Adjust Portions to Body Condition: Daily feeding amounts should be adjusted as needed to help the cat reach and sustain an optimal body weight, with veterinary input if there is any uncertainty about portion size.
• Introduce the Food Gradually: Transition by mixing increasing amounts of the new stew with decreasing amounts of the previous food across a full 7-day period to ease the changeover.
• Provide Fresh Water at All Times: Fresh drinking water should remain accessible throughout the day to keep the cat adequately hydrated alongside every meal.
• Reassess Portions as Cat Ages: Nutritional needs evolve as cats get older, making it worthwhile to review the feeding plan with a veterinarian at every routine check-up to keep it appropriate.
• Keep Packaging Out of Reach: To prevent suffocation hazards, all pouches and packaging materials should always be stored away from the reach of both pets and children.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Designed for Adult Cats Only: This stew is suited for adult cats, particularly those that are neutered, less active, or otherwise prone to putting on excess weight during regular daily feeding.
• Not for Kittens or Pregnant Cats: Kittens and pregnant or nursing cats should not be fed this formula and should instead be transitioned to Hill's Science Diet Kitten food or Hill's Science Diet Kitten Indoor dry food to meet their unique needs.
• Factor In All Daily Food Sources: Any treats or supplementary foods given alongside these pouches should be counted toward the cat's total daily food intake to avoid unintentional overfeeding.
• Use Feeding Chart as a Starting Point: The recommended daily amounts in the feeding guide are starting points only and should be fine-tuned based on the individual cat's response, weight progress, and veterinarian advice.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Discomfort During Transition: Introducing this new food too quickly without a gradual transition period may cause temporary digestive discomfort in some cats, making the 7-day introduction process particularly important.

Storage Information

• Refrigerate After Opening: Any unused portion from an opened pouch should be covered and refrigerated right away to keep the food safe and fresh for the next serving.
• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Unopened pouches should be kept in a cool, dry environment, away from heat and moisture, until they are ready to be served to maintain their quality and freshness.
