A cat has a very long aging phase. During the first phase (7-12 years) many of the early aging signs, including reduced kidney function and arthritis, may not be visible yet. Instinctive 7+helps maintain vitality and face the first signs of aging during the first phase through the inclusion of a specialized complex of antioxidants, including vitamins E and C, lutein and taurine, EPA and DHA, omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin.
Declining kidney function is one of the most common issues affecting aging cats. Instinctive 7+ is formulated with a controlled phosphorous content to support aging kidneys, and maintain healthy kidney function.
Tender thin slices in gravy are easier on the sensitive teeth and gums of older cats.
Instinctive 7+ features a proven Macro Nutrient profile that is preferred by adult cats. This profile represents the ratio of energy derived from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A Macro Nutrient Profile also influences long term palatability and dietary satisfaction. A cat’s specific Macro Nutrient Profile varies not only according to its age, but also the cat’s physiological condition.
