As cats grow older (8 years plus) their nutritional needs change, so it’s important to ensure they receive all the essential nutrients needed to remain fit and healthy.

To nurture your cat through this stage of life, we have developed the WHISKAS® Older Cat range. WHISKAS® Older is a high-energy, tasty food which is 100% nutritionally complete and balanced, to ensure your cat gets all the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to continue its happy, healthy life.

The veterinarians and nutritionists at WALTHAM®, the world’s leading authority on pet care and nutrition, have demonstrated that antioxidants help strengthen cat immune systems, so WHISKAS® Oh So…Older cat meals have been specially formulated with natural antioxidants to boost the immune system of your older cat, helping to prevent illness.

Older cats also become much fussier with the foods they’re prepared to eat, so you need to offer them a variety of tempting and delicious meal options.

WHISKAS® Older Cat range is available in various flavours and formats in WHISKAS® Oh So… Sachets, WHISKAS® Cans and WHISKAS® with VITA-BITES®, to continue to satisfy the fussier taste buds as well as the special nutritional needs of your older cat.

Even though you may be providing your older cat with the nutritionally complete food it needs, you may not be feeding the correct amounts. A common mistake made by owners is to continue feeding their older cat the same portions of food as they had previously, however due to the less active lifestyle of many older cats, this may result in excess weight gain for some. WHISKAS® offers a daily feeding guide on the back of packs, however as every cat is different it’s important to monitor your cat’s weight and understand its specific daily needs. In addition, you may need to consider changing your feeding method, for example two or three smaller meals per day could be beneficial to your older cat’s health.
