Sterilization and castration affect metabolism, so cats and cats after such an operation need special food - with a special balance of minerals, less calorie. Food for sterilized cats can be dry or wet; the latter provides additional protection for the urinary system due to the presence of purified water. Wet cat food reduces the risk of stones in the kidneys and bladder, which is especially important for neutered cats. Another advantage of wet food is that in hot weather it helps prevent dehydration and does not cause thirst, great for cats who do not drink enough drinking water.

I recently learned about this manufacturer of dry cat food and quite by accident, so to speak, by my own trial and error. Actually, it was not me who chose the food, but my anti-gourmet cat. Why anti-foodie, you ask?
It’s all very simple: in a cat shelter, from a young age, she was accustomed to one single dry professional food and besides that, she didn’t see or smell anything else. When I brought her home, I had to suffer quite a bit in finding suitable food, since the cat did not touch either fresh meat or fish, in general, she ignored everything. A lot of different dry foods were tried, but she ate them reluctantly. In desperation, I called the owner of the shelter and she advised me to pay attention to dry food TM Club 4 paws.
My joy knew no bounds when my anti-gourmet began to eat Dry food with meat TM Club 4 paws and still eats it with pleasure.
One day on a store shelf I saw the same food, but with chicken. I bought it without fear, since I was already 100% sure of it that the cat would like it. It was also lucky that there was a promotion from the manufacturer and instead of 400 grams in the pack there were 500 grams.

Food for sterilized cats Club 4 Paws: benefits
The main problems that threaten cats and female cats after removal of the genital organs are urolithiasis and obesity.

Preventative food Club 4 Paws will help avoid health problems after castration
Proper nutrition is the main component of caring for cats and cats after castration (sterilization). Food for sterilized cats Club 4 Paws, due to its low calorie content, thoughtful balance of minerals and the presence of useful additives, helps prevent obesity and urolithiasis, common problems that threaten animals after this operation. The manufacturer offers dry and wet food for cats with special needs, which allows them to diversify their diet and take into account the pet’s preferences.
Special cats need special food
If you decide to castrate (sterilize) your furry pet, take care of special food for it in advance. Unbalanced natural nutrition or basic food for cats with special needs usually provokes health problems. Club 4 Paws offers food at an affordable price that will help protect your cat’s vulnerable genitourinary system and control its weight, as well as strengthen the immune system, ensure shiny coat, and good digestion. The price of specialized food is slightly higher than regular, basic food, but the pet’s health is more expensive. Many cats prefer dry food, and it is cheaper. Dry food for sterilized cats in the 4 Paws Club assortment is also presented. But when feeding the cat this way, it is imperative to provide a sufficient amount of drinking water, and ensure that the water in the bowl is always clean and fresh.
Advantages and disadvantages of a comprehensive diet
The composition of this product is properly fortified.
The advantages of premium food outweigh the possible disadvantages. The dry complex is popular and economical. The composition contains the necessary vitamin complexes and minerals. The diet does not contain dyes. The nutritional complex is designed for pets with different needs and age categories.
The disadvantages of complex nutrition that consumers highlight are that there is no accurate data on the by-products contained in the complex. And also the type of meat that is included in the composition (freeze-dried or raw) is not described.

Veterinarians remind that the cat must always have access to clean and fresh water.

Composition of food "Club 4 Paws"
In 2021, the manufacturer modified the feed recipe and added the Integramix complex, which includes 4 different ingredients (dried banana, hawthorn, tomatoes, ginger), which helps maintain the health of the animal. It also contains an omega 3 + omega 6 complex for healthy skin and coat of the pet.
In addition to the complexes described above, we will consider in more detail the other ingredients of Club 4 Paws food, using the example of the option for large breed puppies. In first place in the composition is “chicken flour” with 29% (the percentage is quite typical for the premium class).
To produce chicken flour, it was meat tissue that was used, not offal. This ingredient is similar to dehydrated meat, since the meat is first stewed until the water has completely evaporated, then dried and turned into concentrated protein flour.
Next in composition are the sources of carbohydrates - corn, wheat, rice, as well as corn gluten - a source of plant proteins. Beet fiber, minerals, brewer's yeast, etc. - also typical ingredients for dog food. It is worth noting sunflower oil, which is not often found, as well as a natural antioxidant.
Many manufacturers of inexpensive feeds do not specify what antioxidant they use, but here it is specified - tocopherol. It is a natural antioxidant, a natural source of vitamin E, which is important for dogs and cats, which allows dry food to be stored for a long time without losing its nutritional value.
Benefits of Club 4 Paws food

- best price in the premium segment;
