Feline Diabetes Prevention Tips

Diabetes is one of the most common cat diseases that go undetected. Many cats only stay indoors, which can prevent them from getting the exercise that they need. And when their diet is not monitored properly, this can lead to feline diabetes.



Here are the things that you can do to prevent this from happening:

1.    Monitor the weight of your cat.

Did you know that about 58% of cats are overweight? With a lack of exercise and improper portioning of food, cats can gain weight fast. It’s a good idea to weigh your cat regularly. Talk to your vets in Kamloops about proper food portioning as well to ensure that you are feeding your cat the appropriate amount.

2.    Give your cat the right food.

Consult vets in Kamloops BC about the right food to feed your cat. There is an array of cat foods out there and choosing one can be quite confusing and intimidating. Don’t just go with the most popular brand but rather, choose the one with the nutritional benefits suitable for the breed or species of your cat.

3.    Make sure your cat gets a lot of exercise.

You can build your cats a catio to encourage outdoor playtime or get a cat tower. Invest in toys that will allow you to bond with your cat while encouraging her to play.

Also, get regular checkups. You can go to clinics like The Cat Hospital of Kamloops to make sure that you are always on top of your cat’s health.
