In this webinar we will be looking at the physical and mental changes that occur in older cats, and how these can affect their appetite, digestion, and body condition. We will cover how the nutritional requirements of an older cat differ from their younger counterparts, with many super senior cats suffering from a co-morbities, affecting their overall health and longevity.

Key learning objectives include:

• To know the physical and behavioural changes occurring in the aging cat, and how they can affect both its nutritional needs and feeding habits
• To learn the nutritional requirements of a geriatric cat and how they differ from younger cats
• To understand the veterinary nurse’s role in educating owners about geriatric cat nutrition
