Is KatKin suitable for my cat with pancreatitis?
In many cases, yes. Our fresh recipes can be suitable for cats with pancreatitis, but this will always depend on your cat's individual situation and your vet's advice.
Unlike dogs, cats with pancreatitis are generally less sensitive to dietary fat. Instead, one of the biggest challenges is often maintaining a healthy appetite and preventing unwanted weight loss.
Because every case is different, we always recommend speaking to your vet before making any changes to your cat's diet. They know your cat best and can advise whether a switch to KatKin is appropriate.
How KatKin can support cats with pancreatitis
Highly palatable meals to encourage eating
Cats with pancreatitis often experience a reduced appetite, making it difficult to get enough calories each day.
Our recipes are made with 100% fresh, human-quality meat and are naturally highly palatable, helping to tempt even fussy eaters. With seven different recipes to choose from, you can also offer variety if your cat prefers different flavours from day to day.
Nutrient-rich recipes
When appetite is reduced, every mouthful counts.
All of our recipes are complete and balanced, providing high-quality protein, essential vitamins and minerals to help support your cat's overall health while they recover.
Personalised portions
Maintaining a healthy body weight is important for cats with pancreatitis, particularly if they've experienced recent weight loss.
Our calorie calculator creates personalised portions based on your cat's age, weight, body condition score and activity level, helping ensure they receive the calories they need without the guesswork.
If your cat's weight changes over time, you can easily update their details in your KatKin account and review any suggested portion changes.
What if my vet recommends a lower-fat diet?
Some cats with pancreatitis may be advised by their vet to eat a lower-fat diet.
If that's the case, we're happy to help you choose the leanest combination of our recipes. You can also find the nutritional information, fat % and ingredient breakdown for each recipe on our website, which you can share with your vet to help decide which recipes are most appropriate.
If you're unsure which recipes may be best for your cat, our Cat Experts and In-House Vet Team are always happy to help.
