What cat food do you recommend for an obese cat with constipation?

Question

I recently adopted a 4 year old very obese cat. He had a very scary constipation episode. He is on lactulose and fancy feast right now. A fiber. Based diet was recommended. What brand would you recommend? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 23.6 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

I would recommend a prescription weight loss diet. Those are high in fiber and have a lot more fiber than anything you can get over the counter. This will help him lose weight and with the constipation. If he continues being this overweight you are risking him getting diabetes which is very common in obese cats. Diabetes can be a true nightmare to manage. The diet I would say is the best for this issue is either going to be Hill's prescription w/d or Hill's prescription r/d. You can get this from your vet or your vet can give you a prescription so you can order online. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
