Thanks for reaching out with your question! Balancing diets for multiple cats with different needs can definitely be a bit of a challenge, but it's not impossible.
Firstly, understanding portion control and calorie needs is crucial. Start by feeding the cat who needs to lose weight in a separate space. This prevents them from eating more than their share or gobbling up the other’s food. Use a measuring cup to provide precise portions based on your vet’s recommendations.
Consider switching the cat needing to lose weight to a diet formulated for weight management. These cat foods usually have fewer calories and higher fiber, which can help your cat feel full. Make sure to introduce any diet changes gradually to avoid digestive upset.
For the at-home care tips, using toys or treats that encourage physical activity can help burn extra calories. Dedicate a few minutes each day to engage them in play.
Keep an eye on both cats. If either shows signs of excessive weight loss or gain, reduced appetite, or changes in behavior, it could indicate a more serious health issue and warrants a closer look.
If you'd like more guidance tailored to your cats' needs, consider scheduling a video consult with Dial A Vet for professional advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
