Product Description
Helping an overweight cat slim down safely means cutting calories without cutting nutrition, and that's precisely the balance Natural Balance's Fat Cats Low Calorie formula is designed to strike. Built around chicken meal and salmon meal for flavor cats actually want to eat, this recipe layers in targeted L-Carnitine to support healthy weight management along with a specialized fiber blend that helps cats feel satisfied on fewer calories. It's a formula that treats weight loss as a nutrition problem to solve carefully, not just a matter of feeding less of a regular food.

Feeding Instructions
Weight Loss Feeding Guide (for cats 4 or above on a Body Condition Score chart):
| Current Cat Weight (lbs) | Cups Per Day |
|---|---|
| 8 - 10 | Up to 1/2 cup |
| 10 - 12 | 1/2 to 2/3 cup |
| 12 - 16 | 2/3 to 3/4 cup |
| 16 - 24 | 3/4 to 7/8 cup |
Amounts are based on a standard 8 oz measuring cup and are intended as guidelines only. Weight management should always be done in consultation with your veterinarian, who can confirm an appropriate target weight and monitor progress.
When switching your pet's diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 7-10 day period. Replace 25% of the current diet with the new diet every 2-3 days until they are fully transitioned. A slow transition helps avoid digestive upset and gives your pet time to adjust to the new recipe.
Why We Love It
Fat Cats Low Calorie reflects Natural Balance's broader philosophy that specialized nutrition should still taste good, since a diet food a cat won't eat doesn't help anyone. By combining higher protein and fiber with real flavor from chicken and salmon meal, this recipe supports a healthier weight without leaving your cat feeling shortchanged at mealtime. Made in the USA and backed by the brand's Feed With Confidence testing program.
