Feeding

Feeding your Savannah well

United States

Very active and strongly muscled, the Savannah needs a diet sufficiently rich in proteins and fats, adapted to its morphology and its physical expenditure.

A menu for every age

Their needs change as they grow

  • Kitten: Growth food rich in protein, in several small meals, up to about twelve months.

  • Adult: Adjust protein and fat intake to its strong musculature and its activity.

  • Senior: Food adapted to the older cat, digestible and moderate in energy, with monitoring of weight, kidneys and teeth.

Which food?

Changing food

How to switch foods successfully

Any dietary change must be gradual in order to give the digestive system time to adapt.

Hydration

Don't overlook water

Fresh water must remain available at all times, especially since the Savannah is very active and naturally enjoys water.

A little extra

Treats in moderation

Treats must remain occasional and be integrated into the overall dietary intake.

Good habits

Make mealtimes count

  • Choose a balanced diet rich in quality proteins
  • Adjust the ration to the weight and physical expenditure
