• 5 drops cod liver oil (approx. 50 IU)
• 5 drops liquid vitamin E (approx. 50 IU)

Once a Week

Optional

• 1 tbsp quinoa (or) couscous if your cat is more than 10 years old, or has a tendency to become constipated.
• 1 tsp minced fresh organic parsley daily. Parsley has many benefits including kidney cleansing and providing antioxidants that can help prevent gingivitis.

Important Notes

• It”s important to weigh your cat when beginning any new diet. Having a baseline and tracking their weight will help you in adjusting quantities should they lose, or gain too much.
• If your cat has a history of urinary tract infections, struvite or calcium oxalate stones, please ask your veterinarian for guidance.
• Track your cat’s urinary pH because it’s directly linked to, and impacted by their diet. You can buy pH strips at most pharmacies. The normal pH level for cats 6.0.
