PetAg Esbilac Healthy Aging Supplement for Cats (14 oz) - US 5852

High-Protein Powder Supplement for Heart, Muscle, Joint, Immune, Skin, and Coat Health

Product Description

KMR Healthy Aging is a powder supplement for adult and senior cats aged 7 and older, delivering high-quality protein for heart and muscle support alongside omega-3 fatty acids for joint strength and flexibility, vitamin E for immune health, and omega-6 fatty acids for skin and coat condition. Mix one part powder with two parts warm water and add to kibble, wet food, or serve as a warm liquid treat. Can also be sprinkled dry over food.

Benefits

• High-Quality Protein for Heart and Muscles: A multi-source protein blend from dairy and meat ingredients supports heart muscle function and helps maintain lean muscle mass in adult and senior cats aged 7 and older.
• Omega-3 for Joint Strength and Flexibility: Marine microalgae oil provides omega-3 fatty acids that support joint comfort, strength, and flexibility, particularly relevant for senior cats showing early signs of stiffness or reduced mobility.
• Vitamin E for Immune Support: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that supports immune system function and protects against the oxidative stress that builds up naturally as cats age past the seven-year mark.
• Omega-6 for Skin and Coat Condition: Omega-6 fatty acids support skin barrier health and coat quality, addressing the coat thinning and dryness that commonly appear in senior cats as natural oil production declines.
• Helps with Hydration: Served as a warm liquid, the prepared formula adds moisture to the cat's daily intake, particularly useful for senior cats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does this supplement do for aging cats?

Ans: Four things tend to decline as cats age, muscle and heart health, joint comfort, immune function, and skin and coat condition. This formula addresses all four: protein for the muscles and heart, omega-3s for the joints, vitamin E for the immune system, and omega-6s for the skin and coat.

Q2: Why is beef broth listed as the first ingredient?

Ans: Beef broth is included as the primary flavor base and is listed first because it is present in the highest proportion by weight in the dry powder blend. It contributes significantly to the rich, savory palatability that makes this formula readily accepted even by cats that have become picky about food in old age.

Q3: Can this be used to encourage a cat to drink more water?

Ans: Yes. Served as a warm liquid, the prepared formula adds moisture to a cat's daily intake. Senior cats that are reluctant drinkers or that have reduced thirst drive, a common concern in aging cats, often accept a warm, flavored liquid more readily than plain water.

Q4: Why do cats aged 7 and older need extra protein support?

Ans: Older cats become less efficient at processing dietary protein and maintaining muscle mass. Unlike dogs, cats rely heavily on protein as a metabolic energy source throughout their lives, and this dependency increases with age.

Q5: Should I consult a vet before giving this to a cat with kidney disease?

Ans: Yes, absolutely. Cats with reduced kidney function need careful management of dietary protein and certain minerals, as the kidneys are responsible for processing these. Additional protein and micronutrients from supplements can place extra load on already compromised kidneys.

Q6: Can this formula help cats that are losing weight or refusing food?

Ans: Yes. Senior cats that have reduced appetite, dental issues, or difficulty chewing hard kibble often accept a warm liquid or a food softened with this formula more readily than dry food alone. The rich flavor encourages intake, and the protein content helps support weight maintenance in cats.

Q7: Is a measuring scoop included?

Ans: Yes. A measuring scoop is included inside the canister. Always use the enclosed scoop rather than estimating amounts by hand, as consistent daily portions are important for tracking caloric intake and keeping the supplement within the 10% daily calorie limit.
