WHY IS TECHNI-CAL HAIRBALL CONTROL THE PERFECT FIT TO AVOID HAIRBALLS IN YOUR CAT?
- It is complete & balanced so that no supplements are required. The diet can be fed life long if necessary.
- Chicken meal, whole dried egg and fish meal, three of the best protein sources provide all the required amino acids.
- Extra Taurine is added to make sure this vital amino acid for cats is always present in sufficient amounts.
- The chicken fat and the fish meal guarantee an adequate amount and balance of Essential Fatty Acids to promote optimal skin & coat condition.
- Increased fibre content compared to a regular adult maintenance diet for cats.
- Pea fibre as the exquisite fibre source which transports the ingested hair safely through the intestines and safeguards the excellent palatability of the diet and the proper intestinal assimilation of nutrients and water.
- Yucca schidigera (a prebiotic) further helps to maintain the optimal intestinal flora.
- Vitamin C, vitamin E and Rosemary, Techni-Cal’s natural antioxidant system to fight free radicals and to support the immune system.
- The controlled level of magnesium, along with the naturaly occurring acidity of the urine, takes into account the urinary problems cats might have.
IMPORTANT NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS OF A CREDIBLE HAIRBALL REGULATING DIET:
- Complete & balanced as cats may require this diet for the rest of their life.
- Animal protein based as cats are obligate carnivores and need the essential amino acids provided only by animal protein, especially to obtain a good coat quality.
- An adequate fibre source which “captures” the ingested hair and moves them safely through the intestinal tract without causing symptoms or discomfort. As increased fibre amounts might also negatively impact the assimilation of nutrients and water from the intestine a high quality fibre source is key.
- Quality fat sources, providing all essential fatty acids in the right balance, for optimal skin health and a shiny coat.
- Palatability: extra addition of functional fibre sources often results in poor tasting diets.
