Healthy Dry Cat Food
Geriatrx™ cat food is a great starting point and basal dry food for older cats. Please remember that as with all Wysong diets, Geriatrx™ is designed to be fed in rotation with fresh foods, Wysong TNT™ raw cat foods, and other natural Wysong dry and canned cat food diets.
Geriatrx™ is specifically designed to fulfill the nutritional needs of aging cats requiring fewer calories than more active adult cats. This healthy cat food's lower caloric density and higher food bulk helps reduce the
glycemic index and lower the body's weight set point of older cats. Such underfeeding with a micronutrient dense diet the design of Geriatrx™ has been demonstrated to extend the life-span in a variety of species.
Geriatrx™ is also designed for use with degenerative disorders such as kidney, heart, and liver disease, which perhaps require lower levels of sodium, higher quality protein sources, and increased micronutrient density.
While formulated for more aged and sickened cats, Geriatrx™ cat food is suitable and can be fed with benefit to cats of all ages and health statuses as part of a healthy diet rotation.
A common problem with conventional cat foods is that they contain large amounts of highly refined carbohydrate/starch calories. Consumption of such foods results in unnaturally high blood glucose levels and insulin spikes. Over the long term this physiological reaction can create adverse health conditions, such as diabetes, in felines. Because of their typically weakened state, geriatric animals are even more prone to such conditions.
Geriatrx™ has an above average fiber content at 7% as fed.
Vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, and accessory nutrients.
Wysong pet foods were designed to be rotated and fed to animals of all life-stages regardless of the implied use denoted by their label names. In the wild, animals eat the same varied diet throughout life. They do not eat different diets based upon "lifestage."
