SENIOR CAT
- Neutered mature cat
"Mature cats are often subject to a loss of appetite. He is
predisposed to slimming and to muscle wasting. Cell
ageing mechanisms intensify.
INDICATIONS
 Neutered mature cats, from 10 years old.
 Nephrotic syndrome without chronic renal
failure
COUNTER INDICATIONS
 Growing cat
 Gestating or lactating queen
INGREDIENTS
Dehydrated meat, cooked cereals, maize proteins, animal fats, powdered egg, beet
pulp, linseed, fructooligosaccharides, DL-methionine, taurine, borage oil, powdered
tomato, chitosan, powdered artichoke, inositol, ginkgo biloba, minerals, trace
elements and vitamins. With anti-oxidants: EC additives.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 The energy density is moderately high so as to compensate for appetite and
digestibility decreases.
 High protein contribution and their high quality, contribute to maintaining
muscle mass without overloading renal function.
 Food fibres content contributes to the balance of intestinal flora and
stimulates favourable digestive transit (fight against hairball).
 Richness in essential fatty acids boosts the immune system and contributes
to a healthy skin and a shiny coat.
 Low phosphorus content and the digestive chelation by chitosan, help
protect the renal function.
 Richness in vitamin E, selenium and tomato lycopene, an anti-oxidant
complex, protects against cell ageing.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Urinary health – Cynarine (artichoke powder) + DL-methionine
Cynarine, extracted from artichoke leaves, dilutes urine and reduces the risk of
crystals. DL-methionine, a sulphur amino acid, contributes to a very light acidification
of urine, thus limiting the risk of formation of oxalate stones without favouring the one
of struvite stones.
Alertness – Ginkgo biloba
Extract of ginkgo biloba leaves, rich in flavonoids and terpenes, plays many roles at
brain level: vasoregulation and vasoprotection, anti-oxidation, modulation of
neurotransmitters. It thus helps delay or curb the signs of brain ageing.
Vision support – Cystine + Glycine + Glutamic acid + Inositol + Vitamin A
Cystine, glycine and glutamic acid amino acids are basic structural elements of lens,
proteins which are responsible for lens transparency. They are also precursors of
glutathione, an anti-oxidant that is essential for limiting lens degeneration. Inositol, or
vitamin B7, helps the lens to work properly (protein and energy metabolisms).
Vitamin A, or retinol, is involved in the retina’s and cornea’s integrity.
