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.
I purchased this after looking for dry food recommendations for a very picky eater. My furry feline was diagnosed last month with diabetes and came across Young Again on Reddit of all places. After doing some research, I purchased it, following calorie guidelines for a 10 year old cat. She has been doing phenomenal, with sugar levels consistently in the 150 range. Absolute lifesaver, and safe to switch 100% to. Thank you!

I am so grateful for this food. My 15 year old Manx developed a allergic reaction to every known protein. Her vet figures she has an overactive immune system. This food changed her life. She no longer has to eat the soy based Royal Canin. I like the fact this is a meat based hydrolyzed cat food. Michael is an awesome guy who answered all my questions.
