MegacolonUpdated 13 days ago
Supporting a cat with megacolon requires careful dietary management to help ease digestion and stool passage. While your veterinarian's guidance is paramount, our recipes offer characteristics that may be beneficial for felines with this condition.
Veterinary Guidance is Essential
For cats with specific health conditions like megacolon, we always recommend veterinary supervision. Your vet can provide the most accurate and personalised dietary advice based on your cat's unique needs and the severity of their condition.
How Untamed May Support Cats with Megacolon
Our recipes are designed with a focus on highly digestible, high-quality ingredients, which can be advantageous for cats requiring a low-residue diet. Here's how our food "ticks the boxes":
- Low Residue Profile: Our food features a very high protein content and is low in fat. This composition aims to minimise waste, contributing to a low-residue diet.
- High Moisture Content: Our wet food is naturally rich in moisture (approximately 80%). This is crucial for cats with megacolon, as it helps to keep stools soft and easier to pass, promoting regular bowel movements.
- Grain-Free & Filler-Free: We exclude grains and unnecessary fillers from our recipes. This helps to keep stool volume minimal, which can be beneficial for reducing the burden on the digestive system.
- Highly Bioavailable Protein: We exclusively use human-grade whole meats as our protein source. These proteins have high bioavailability, meaning they are easily absorbed and utilised by your cat's body, producing very little waste.
By combining these characteristics, we aim to offer a diet that is gentle on the digestive system, helps manage stool consistency, and provides essential nutrients with minimal residue.
