Feeding Guidelines and Transitioning
The recommended feeding amount for BLUE K+M Kidney + Mobility Support varies based on the cat’s weight. For example, cats weighing between 5 to 9 lbs. should be fed ¼ to ½ cup per day, while those weighing 10 to 14 lbs. should receive ½ to ¾ cup per day. It is essential to consult with your veterinarian to determine the precise nutritional requirements for your individual cat, as these can be influenced by age, breed, environment, and activity level.
When transitioning your cat to BLUE K+M, a gradual approach over 14 days is recommended. Begin by mixing 25% of the new diet with 75% of the old food, and slowly adjust the proportions until your cat is exclusively eating the BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available for your cat.
