LID ZERO Mature Health formula has been specifically designed to support cats with allergies to chicken and other protein sources. This Limited Ingredient formula is pork based. Young Again LID ZERO Mature Cat Food has been developed to support your pre-diabetic or diabetic cat by giving her a carnivore-based alternative to traditional cat foods.
Your cat is considered mature when she is no longer growing bone. For most cats that will be at about 2 years of age. However, for breeds like the Maine Coon, it may be as long as 5 years. Please consult your veterinarian or breeder if you are unsure if your cat has reached adulthood.

There are two ways to feed Young Again Cat Foods:
At YA, we highly recommend Free-Choice feeding. Please follow the instructions carefully. For additional feeding suggestions and assistance, please read Transitioning your cat.
If you must restrict feed your cat, please use these guidelines:
Average consumption for 24 hours:
8 lb. cat – Level ¼ cup
10 lb. cat – Rounded ¼ cup
12 lb. cat – Level 1/3 cup
15 lb. cat – Rounded 1/3 cup
20-25 lb. cat – Level ½ cup
For Maine Coons and other giant breeds add ¼ cup to each of above measures for 12 pounds and up.
PLEASE NOTE: Because Young Again is a nutrient-dense food, your cat will eat MUCH LESS than other cat foods. It does not mean your cat does not like our food.
Year 2. Put my 8yr old cats kidney disease into remission. Just did 3rd labs and it has reversed it. Please don't stop making this food. Thank you !!!!!

Finding this food is a miracle to me. I have been searching for a food that does not have any starch in it for a long time. I have 6 cats ages 2 to 19 and they all loved the food immediately. They have been eating it for a short time but I am looking forward to seeing the improvements in their health that I know will happen. Also a special thank you to Michael Massie, the President of the company who reached out personally to me within 10 minutes of me emailing several questions that I had. My anxiety about my cat's food is gone and I can now relax and know that they are truly getting the best food available for them.
