Virbac HPM W2 Weightloss & Control Cat

Virbac HPM W2 Weightloss & Control Cat

Virbac HPM W2 Weightloss & Control Cat is specially formulated for overweight cats (over 30% overweight). This food supports weight loss and control, and helps maintain weight loss in cats that require moderate food restriction.

Key benefits and features

• Low energy density: The low energy density of the diet contributes to moderate weight loss, a result documented by Virbac.
• Moderate restriction of the daily ration: The food is designed for a moderate weight loss program, helping the cat to achieve and maintain optimal weight through a controllable reduction in food intake.
• Improves muscle tissue/fat tissue ratio: With a Low Carb High Protein (LCHP) composition, the food helps preserve muscle tissue and maintain an ideal body composition after weight loss.
• High palatability: High content of animal protein and fat ensures high palatability, which increases the chance that the cat will stick to the weight loss program.
• Low glycemic index and low sugar content: The LCHP formula with low starch and sugar content helps stabilize blood sugar levels and may contribute to the treatment of cats with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Additional benefits

• Fat burning : L-carnitine is added as a fat burning agent to preserve muscle tissue during weight loss.
• Increases water intake : The high protein content stimulates water intake, increases urine volume and frequency of urination, which helps reduce the risk of urinary tract problems.
• Promotes urine dilution : Artichoke leaves help reduce urine density and thus the risk of lower urinary tract disorders.
• Increased fiber content : Fiber promotes satiety, regulates starch digestion and glucose absorption.
• Coat condition : The food contains a balanced level of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to a normal coat condition, especially after a restrictive weight loss program.
• Suitable for adult and senior cats : The amount of essential nutrients is optimized to meet the daily needs of both adult and senior cats.

Nutrition for carnivores

Cats are natural carnivores, which is why the VETERINARY HPM® therapeutic range is based on the HP protein – low carbohydrate (HP-LC) principle. This means that the food contains very little carbohydrate but a lot of animal protein (more than 90% on average). The result is a food that is perfectly adapted to the cat's need for high quality and good nutrition.

• 44% High in protein of which 90% animal protein
• 18.5% Low in carbohydrates
