Description
Geriatrx is specifically designed to fulfill the nutritional needs of aging cats requiring fewer calories than more active adult cats. Lower caloric density and higher food bulk help reduce the glycemic index and lower the body's weight set point of older cats. Such underfeeding with a micro-nutrient dense diet the design of Geriatrx has been demonstrated to extend the life-span in a variety of species. Geriatrx is also designed for use with degenerative disorders such as kidney, heart, and liver disease which perhaps require lower levels of sodium, higher quality protein sources, and increased micronutrient density.
Wysong feline diets are formulated with the understanding that an optimal diet should match genetic makeup. Over two decades of research and results prove that the Wysong nutritional innovations, using nature as a principle, are simply a great approach if health is the goal.

Instructions
Feeding Guide
Any sudden change in diet may result in digestive disturbances. Wysong Diets are unique formulations, and should be gradually introduced. Over a period of 15 days, mix Geriatrx with the present diet beginning at about 10% and then gradually increase proportions. If difficulties arise, return to a smaller percentage and try again.
The amount fed should be adjusted to maintain an ideal body weight. Do not overfeed, regardless of the pet’s eagerness. Over consumption leading to digestive upset is the most common difficulty pets have adjusting to this highly concentrated, unique nutritional formulation.
Wysong advises against feeding any one pet food exclusively. Feeding one food fosters the development of ingredient intolerances (allergies) and other health ailments. You would never eat one food exclusively, and neither should your pet.
Always keep fresh, pure water available and offer plenty of fresh air, sunshine, exercise, and big doses of your tender loving care.
The following amounts suggested should be decreased in proportion to the amount of supplementation with fresh whole foods or canned diets. Additionally, factors such as stress, amount of activity and breed of pet may make it necessary to adjust the amount of feeding.
If fed singularly on any given day, the following general instructions apply.
| Weight of Cat | 5 lbs | 10 lbs | 15 lbs | 20 lbs |
| Daily Feeding | 1/4 cup | 1/2 cup | 3/4 cup | 1 cup |
