Protein is an essential component of the skin and hair, 95% of the latter being made up of protein! Up to one third of the daily protein intake is used for skin renewal and hair growth.
Our range is based on a High-Protein, Low-Carbohydrate formulation adapted to the needs of your cat, a highly evolved carnivore!
When it comes to your cat’s health, apart from your love, nothing is more important than offering the right nutrition. Nutrition is key to keeping them in good shape and limiting the risk of developing health issues.
Nutrition needs to be balanced, which means it has to meet cats’ carnivorous nutritional needs as well as specific requirements related to their age, lifestyle, bodyweight and health condition. A Low-Carbohydrate High-Protein formulation is the closest to their needs and preferences. A large proportion of high-quality animal protein is also essential to help promote urinary and skin health, as well as maintaining optimal bodyweight.
VETERINARY HPM® is an advanced range of lifestage and clinical diets, and both follow the same nutritional philosophy: cats are carnivores and should be fed accordingly, with high levels of high-quality protein, mainly of animal origin, and low levels of carbohydrate.
By nature, cats are small drinkers, which can lead to very concentrated urine and urinary issues such as crystals, stones and cystitis. This is why VETERINARY HPM® diets offer advanced solutions to help with this. High protein content naturally helps to stimulate drinking, and built-in supplements such as chitosan help to limit phosphorus excretion. Furthermore, the wet diets contain high levels of moisture, therefore increasing the overall amount of water ingested. Combining VETERINARY HPM® wet and dry diets is a great solution for your cat, providing high-quality nutrition and optimal body water turnover. For instance, you may choose to give your cat one pouch a day of Adult Cat Wet with Salmon alongside Adult Neutered Cat dry diet. Or if your cat has been diagnosed with urinary issues and your vet has advised feeding our Urology diet, it is possible to mix Urology Cat Wet with the Urology dry diets.

By promoting satiety and the development of lean body mass (including muscle) rather than fat, protein helps dogs and cats maintain a healthy weight. Fibre is added as well as L-carnitine to help limit fat storage.
A diet too high in carbohydrate can be poorly tolerated and cause loose and odorant stools.
Low carbohydrate levels, highly digestible protein and the addition of functional ingredients (lactobacilli, bentonite, etc.) help to maintain good digestive tolerance.
Pentasodium triphosphate supplementation helps to limit tartar formation and contributes to good oral health.
By stimulating drinking and optimising urinary pH, protein helps to maintain good urinary health.
A functional ingredient, cynarin, is also added to help with urine concentration.
Reduced phosphorus intake and phosphate binder chitosan help to maintain healthy kidney function.
Our diets are formulated without maize, wheat, gluten, soya and egg, in order to lower the risk of food intolerances or allergies.
High protein content and chondroitin and chitosan supplementation contribute to maintaining healthy muscles and joints.
A diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrate helps to stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels, and ultimately helps to improve insulin sensitivity.
The protein content and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, help maintain a healthy immune system.
