Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to eat the food.

Mix a small amount of the new food with the old food and gradually increase the proportion of the new food over several days. You can also try warming the food slightly to enhance the aroma.

Cat shows signs of digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea).

Contact your veterinarian immediately. It could be due to a sensitivity to an ingredient, or an underlying health issue unrelated to the food.

Cat's urinary symptoms do not improve.

Consult your veterinarian. The cat may require additional medical intervention or a different approach to address the urinary issues.
