How to feed a cat without teeth: experts named simple ways
Often, cats have dental problems due to old age, poor nutrition or care. The pet may be left without teeth.
How to properly feed a cat without teeth
Consult your veterinarian about your pet's oral health.
The doctor will be able to recommend nutritional options for your cat depending on the problem.
The most important thing is that the animal’s diet is balanced, despite the lack of teeth.
As a rule, canned food is suitable for cats with problem teeth.
During feeding, do not leave your pet and watch what the cat is able to eat.
The food is suitable if the pet does not flatten or spit out the food.
In addition, it is extremely important to monitor the health and weight of a cat without teeth.
To do this, visit the veterinary clinic regularly.
Your cat needs to get enough calories to maintain weight.
You can also try making soft puree food yourself.
For example, you can thoroughly beat boiled chicken, boneless fish or boiled chicken eggs in a food processor with the addition of a small amount of water.
However, use special ready-made food on an ongoing basis.
To start, you can hand feed your cat.
The veterinarian can also prescribe special beneficial nutritional supplements for the animal - probiotics, omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
