We're excited to share expert insights from our vet, Dr. Heidi, where she dives into a topic every cat parent needs to know: gut health in cats 🐾 This complete video is now available to watch right here on our website!
Many cat parents assume gut trouble looks the same in cats as it does in dogs - but the truth is cats hide it well, and knowing the subtle signs to watch for can make all the difference to catching problems early.
In this full video, Dr. Heidi walks through why gut health is the foundation of whole-body wellness in cats, how their digestive system differs from a dog's, and what a truly species-appropriate approach to feline nutrition looks like.
In this session, Dr. Heidi covers:
- Why gut health affects so much more than digestion - from coat quality to immunity to inflammation throughout the body
- The subtle signs of poor gut health in cats - and why chronic vomiting is never "just a cat thing"
- Why cats are obligate carnivores, and what that means for what (and how) they should be eating
How to Support Your Cat's Gut Health
Dr. Heidi also shares practical guidance to help your cat's gut thrive:
- Feed species-appropriate, high-moisture food - cats need a diet that's around 80% water, so an all-dry diet works against them
- Skip the fluoride and chlorine - filtered, bottled or rainwater is far more palatable (and healthier) for cats
- Don't wait out chronic symptoms - persistent vomiting, stool changes, or a cat that's "just not right" deserve a vet visit, not a shrug
