Because diet cat food reduces the content of protein and lipid, changes the food composition of cats, and may lead to bad breath. In addition, the diet cat food added with cellulose will also ferment in the cat's intestines, producing pungent smell.

For the problem of bad breath, parents can regularly brush their cats' teeth and go to the veterinarian to wash their teeth regularly to help cats maintain their oral health.

2. Dieting cat food may affect the gastrointestinal health of cats.

Diet cat food contains a lot of cellulose, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort in cats. Excessive intake of cellulose may lead to gastrointestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. Moreover, diet cat food often reduces the fat content, which may affect cats' absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, K and so on.

Therefore, parents should control the feeding amount and don't overfeed their cats when feeding them diet cat food. In addition, regular physical examinations will be conducted to understand the health status of the cat's gastrointestinal tract.

3. Diet cat food may lead to malnutrition in cats.

Diet cat food generally reduces the content of fat and protein to achieve the purpose of losing weight, but excessively reducing the supply of fat and protein may lead to the lack of necessary nutrition for cats. Lack of protein can lead to vomiting, diarrhea and stunting in cats. Insufficient fat will affect skin health and make fur dry and fall off.

In this case, parents can add some foods rich in protein and fat, such as lean meat, eggs and fish, to supplement the nutritional needs of cats.

4. Diet cat food may make cats hungry easily.

Diet cat food is generally more likely to cause hunger in cats than general cat food, because the dietary fiber in diet cat food is easy to produce satiety and make cats feel full. However, if the calorie intake of cats is not enough to maintain normal life activities, then cats may be excessively hungry.

In this case, parents can appropriately increase the feeding amount of cats, or slow down the feeding speed of dietary cat food, so that cats can slowly adapt to the new diet and observe and adjust at the same time. You can also provide cats with some low-calorie cat snacks to alleviate their hunger.
