Sterilization is the decision of responsible pet owners. It allows you to control the cat population in a humane way and reduces the risk of reproductive system diseases.
Side effects of spaying/neutering can include weight gain and the risk of urinary tract diseases. It is important to consider this when choosing a special diet for your pet after surgery.
A sterilized animal’s metabolism slows down and physical activity decreases. The cat eats as usual, but the changes in its body contribute to greater weight gain. This can lead to obesity.
To avoid overweight, it is recommended to switch to a suitable diet. You need a special food for spayed cats that contains L-carnitine. This is an amino acid that helps convert adipose tissue into energy. Thus, it is the excess fat mass that is reduced. And muscle tissue remains unchanged.
After neutering/sterilization, you should also pay close attention to your animal’s urinary system. To prevent the development of urolithiasis, foods for neutered cats should have carefully balanced minerals and reduced levels of magnesium and phosphorus. This is taken into account in the food for neutered cats.
