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.

Change

Managing the food transition

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

Hydration

Water: do not overlook it

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

Little extras

Treats, in moderation

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

Good habits

For a top-notch bowl

  • Choose a balanced diet rich in quality proteins
  • Adjust the ration to the weight and physical expenditure
  • Ask the veterinarian for advice for any meat-based ration

Never give

Chocolate, onion, garlic, leek, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, xylitol, cooked bones and many human medications are toxic to cats. In case of suspected ingestion, contact a veterinarian quickly.
