A. M. Spaying is a key procedure for cat well-being, as it helps control the feline population and reduces the risk of various diseases. However, this change in their body entails adjustments to their metabolism, making it essential to pay special attention to their diet and nutrition.
After spaying, cats experience hormonal changes that can result in reduced energy expenditure and an increased appetite. Without a balanced diet adapted to their new needs, these factors can lead to overweight and associated health problems, such as diabetes and joint disease.
To maintain the health of a spayed cat, it is advisable to provide a food specifically formulated for this condition. These products have an adequate balance of high-quality proteins, controlled calorie content, and optimized fiber levels to promote satiety.
Nutrition with natural prebiotics
In El Salvador, Purina Cat Chow offers the only formula on the market with specialized nutrition based on natural prebiotics and no artificial colors that strengthen the immune system of neutered cats and promote intestinal health.
“Purina Cat Chow is a brand that has worked for more than 60 years to protect cats through nutrition, and based on research and innovation, we now offer specialized formulas for neutered cats that seek to address specific needs that are highly relevant to this group”, said Mónica Gutiérrez, Purina’s veterinary representative in El Salvador.
In addition, it is essential to encourage physical activity through play and mental stimulation to prevent a sedentary lifestyle.
“Proper nutrition is key to ensuring the quality of life of neutered cats. It is important for feline owners to consult with their veterinarian to choose the best nutritional option and establish healthy habits from the first day after surgery”, explained Mónica Gutiérrez, Purina’s veterinary representative in El Salvador.
In El Salvador, Purina Cat Chow supports spay/neuter clinics promoted and organized by various veterinarians specializing in feline care. These events are key to educating cat owners about the importance of providing specialized nutrition after spay/neuter.
“As Purina Cat Chow, we seek to support new owners of neutered cats through nutrition that seeks to protect their cat’s health and years of life together”, said Carolina Oliva, Purina Cat Chow manager for Nestlé Central America. This year in partnership with the veterinary clinic Cat Home, they hope to support 5,000 new owners of neutered cats.
This way, Purina Cat Chow reaffirms its commitment to animal welfare and promotes, through research and innovation, the importance of a diet tailored to each stage of a cat’s life.
