How can I help my underweight cat gain weight with the right food?

Question

What diet would be best to help her gain weight?

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

First I would recommend seeing your vet to rule out a medical problem as the vast majority of young healthy cats have no trouble maintaining or gaining weight. If your vet has examined Ally and ruled out problems like kidney disease, parasites and thyroid disease you could see if your vet thinks a growth formula food or even a prescription diet like Hilo’s a/d or Royal Canin Recovery would be recommended. If she’s new to your home and a little underweight from poor nutrition a regular high quality food would be best, just try offering an extra meal per day.
