Dechra's Specific FRD Weight Reduction - Dry Cat Food is designed to help your cat lose weight.
It is low in fat and calories and high in fibre meaning you can feed your cat a large amount to satisfy their appetite, whilst still helping them lose weight.
Key Benefits

- With added L-carnitine, a fat burning amino acid
- High levels of Omega-3 fish oils help maintain healthy skin, coat and joints
- Contains starch for a slow glucose release and a high level of fibre to slow down the release of glucose making this diet suitable for cats with diabetes

Not Recommended For
Young kittens and pregnant or lactating queens with high energy need.
Low energy for optional weight loss: The low content of fat and high content of fibre result in a low energy density. Even during a period of weight reduction, this will enable the owner to feed a considerable amount of food, supporting that the cat’s appetite is sated.
Urine pH control: A urine pH below 6.4 supports a healthy urinary tract
Skin, coat & joint: Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy skin and coat. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help maintain normal mobility in joints of obese cats.
Diabetes mellitus: The content of complex carbohydrates and the high level of fibre promote a gradual release of glucose from the diet, making it suitable for patients with diabetes mellitus.
L-carnitine & high protein: The relatively high protein content supports maintenance of muscles and satiation of the cat’s appetite during the weight reduction period. L-carnitine
transports fatty acids into the mitochondria and stimulates oxidation of fat and preservation of muscles. <
