Our chunks in gravy recipe is formulated to promote cat’s health
Supports hydration
Water intake is key for cat’s urinary health. Our wet diet allows cats to naturally ingest more water. High protein formulation also drives cats to drink more, which is good for them.
Promotes urinary health
By increasing water intake, giving our pouches to your cat will decrease the mineral concentration in their urine. This will reduce the risk of inflammation and crystals in your cat’s urinary tract.
Improves satiety effect
Thanks to its high amount of water, our diet promotes satiety. It will prevent your cat from feeling hungry and from begging. This satiety effect will contribute to prevent overfeeding and keep your cat in optimal body condition.
Even domesticated, cats are strict carnivores. They prefer and need to get their energy mainly from protein, and their body is not adapted to large amounts of carbohydrates, which can result in digestive discomfort and weight gain.
We have designed our recipes following the concept of very Low Carbohydrate/High Protein.
Our diet contains high amounts of animal protein. They are essential to your cat’s health as they naturally maintain a good urine pH and encourage your cat to drink more.
We incorporate minimal quantities of vegetable ingredients. Our formula contains low levels of carbohydrates, which limits the risks of weight gain and fat deposit.
9% Vegetable ingredients - no gluten - no grain
87% Pork, poultry, salmon ingredients
Our chunks in gravy are made of high quality animal ingredients that naturally provide a flavour and taste that your cat will love.
So rest assured that not only will it be good for their health, but your cat will also love their new diet.
When it comes to your cat's health, and 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 risks of developing health issues.
Nutrition needs to be balanced, which means it has to meet cats' nutritional needs as well as specific requirements related to their age, lifestyle, bodyweight and health condition. And regardless of their lifestage or health status, cats are carnivores, and their nutrition should reflect this. A Low-Carbohydrate High-Protein formulation is the closest to their needs and preferences. A high share 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 lifestyle 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 in some cases may 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 helps to naturally stimulate drinking, and built-in supplements such as chitosan help to limit phosphorus excretion. Futhermore, the wet diets contain high levels of moisture, which means the amount of water ingested will naturally be higher. 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.
VETERINARY HPM® is a new generation of cat food designed to be closer to the nutritional needs of carnivores. This new and unique range is based on a low carbohydrate-high protein formula. So it is much lower in starch and carbohydrates, and much higher in animal protein. The result is nutrition that is perfectly adapted to your cat’s needs.
Composition: Meat and animal derivatives, fish and fish derivatives (salmon 4.6%), derivatives of vegetable origin, vegetable protein extracts, minerals, oils and fats, various sugars.

To help your pet's digestive system adapt successfully to new food, we recommend that you introduce VETERINARY HPM® gradually over a period of 5 to 7 days.
For a successful dietary transition:
DAYS 1-2
DAYS 3-4
DAYS 5-6
DAY 7
VETERINARY HPM® is very palatable, but we do advise that you respect the daily rations recommended by your vet or vet nurse. Our general feeding guidelines can be found on every bag, but your vet or vet nurse can provide you with a recommendation tailored specifically to your pet.
A dog should drink 50-70ml/kg of their bodyweight each day, whilst cats should consume 60ml/kg.
With VETERINARY HPM®, thanks to its higher amount of protein compared to other dry foods, your pet will naturally consume more water. So don't be surprised if they start drinking more water than usual - that's a good thing!
