What are the main benefits of Omega-6 fatty acids for my cat?
Omega-6 fatty acids are crucial for your cat's overall health, particularly benefiting their skin and coat. They help maintain healthy skin, reduce dryness, and promote a beautiful, shiny coat. They also play a role in supporting general vitality.
Troubleshooting
My cat refuses to eat the food.
Ensure the food is at room temperature, as cold food may be less appealing. If your cat is new to Felix Original, try gradually mixing a small amount with their current food over several days. Some cats simply have strong preferences; consider trying a different texture (e.g., gravy) or protein source from the Felix range.
My cat has an upset stomach after eating.
If this is a new food for your cat, introduce it very slowly over 7-10 days to allow their digestive system to adjust. Ensure your cat isn't overeating. If symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea persist or worsen, consult your veterinarian immediately.
The food pouches seem bloated or damaged.
Do not feed your cat from any pouch that is bloated, leaking, or appears damaged. This can be a sign of spoilage and could be harmful to your cat. Dispose of the pouch safely and check other pouches for integrity before serving.
My cat is not finishing their meal.
Check if the portion size is too large for your cat. Ensure the food is fresh and hasn't been left out for too long, especially in warm weather. Overfeeding or offering too many treats between meals can also reduce appetite.
