Your cat's health is the highest priority – but unfortunately, there are many diseases and symptoms that can make life difficult for your indoor cat. As experts in health-promoting diet food based on the latest veterinary research, we are committed to enabling every cat to live as long and healthy a life as possible.

Our guides on cat health support you in this: Learn about the different pathogens and parasites, which symptoms to look out for, how you can prevent your cat from contracting feline diseases, and how you can help your furry friend quickly and effectively if the worst happens.

Cat diseases: From kidney failure and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) to feline AIDS – harmful pathogens and diseases do not spare cats either. We inform you about common cat diseases in outdoor and indoor cats, and provide tips on how to prevent infection and ensure proper treatment.
Symptoms: Sometimes cats show unusual symptoms, but it is not clear whether they are actually ill. Constant grooming, for example, can indicate a parasite infestation, frequent urination can be a sign of hyperthyroidism, and a runny nose can indicate dangerous feline upper respiratory tract infection. In our articles on typical symptoms, we explain possible causes, consequences, and treatment options.
Health prevention: To prevent infection with a pathogen or the development of a cat disease in the first place, it is important to take preventive measures in good time and promote your cat's health. Our guides provide helpful tips on this – for example, how to reduce the formation of hairballs in your cat and how to recognize if your cat is suffering.
