Food for neutered cats: how and what to choose: To choose the best, in terms of nutrition, for our cat, it is always important to take into account their characteristics and needs.
When your cat is neutered, it is good to evaluate your food choice based on this aspect as well.
What you will most likely notice is an increase in appetite and your cat being more sedentary, so it will be important, in addition to choosing the most suitable food, to also decide on the correct portions and encourage them to get some exercise.
Furthermore, neutered cats tend to have more delicate kidneys, which could lead to urinary tract issues, so it is fundamental that they follow a balanced diet.

We recommend asking your veterinarian for guidance, as they will be able to orient you during this new phase of your cat's life.
But do not worry, establishing a diet following neutering will not be complicated; in fact, there are more and more specific foods for neutered cats on the market to choose from.
General guidelines for feeding your neutered cat are:
- Reduced fat and carbohydrate content
- High fiber content
- High protein content
But let's see in detail what the recommended ingredients are.
Yes to all proteins like beef, chicken, duck, but also tuna and salmon.
Fiber is absolutely essential, so yes to all vegetables with high fiber content, such as pumpkin and carrots.
This month, among our products for neutered cats, we recommend N&D Pumpkin with quail and pomegranate.
Dry or wet food?
Dry food helps dental health and usually allows for more regular intestinal transit; wet food, on the other hand, increases hydration, which can be lacking in neutered cats. The optimal solution can, therefore, be mixing the two types, while correctly balancing the quantities.
