[PetName]’s Pet Profile - Transition Between Lifestages
Just as humans develop and move through life, so do pets.
During each life stage, the right balance of specific dietary nutrition is required to support particular growth and development needs. This is why the OPTIMUM
® range for pets is specifically tailored to meet the growing changes of your four legged friend. This section of your OPTIMUM Pet Profile contains information on what you can expect during each life transition stage.

Milestones in a Cat’s Life
WHAT HAPPENS AS YOUR KITTEN BECOMES AN ADULT CAT?
Once your cat is 12 months of age it transitions into an adult cat and needs different levels of nutrition to meet its daily dietary requirements.
There are many physical changes in its size, shape and activity levels. All of these changes take place in a relatively short time when compared to human development.
When your kitten reaches its 1st birthday, switch its diet to OPTIMUM® Adult Formula.
WHAT HAPPENS AS YOUR CAT MATURES?
Just as we age and begin to slow down, so does your cat.
Once your cat is 8 years of age it transitions to a mature cat and needs different levels of nutrition to meet it’s daily dietary requirements. The metabolic rate slows and it comes more susceptible tothe effects of ageing.
Support the health of your older cat with OPTIMUM® Mature for cats.
