This perhaps could be a reference to "Senvelgo", although it does not seem like this is a real term associated with cats, let alone medications or products in general. If you refer to a different thing-meaning probably some medicine or condition name, or any product-relate this, please.
However, if the question is whether cats should go on different diets at some point in their lives-for instance, transition to a senior cat food or due to disease-then the answer would be yes, in most cases. As cats age, their nutritional requirements also change, and often a change in diet is quite fitting.
When Do Cats Require a Change of Diet?
As they age
At age 7 or 8, cats are considered senior, and their metabolism begins to slow down. Senior cat foods are formulated with a reduction in calories, a higher fiber content, and adjusted protein levels to reflect the health needs of an aging cat.
For medical reasons
If your cat has a health condition-like kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis-your vet might recommend a special diet formulated for your cat's specific needs.
Key Dietary Changes for Senior Cats
Caloric Needs
As cats age, their energy needs are generally reduced, and thus their diet may need to be less calorie-dense to avoid obesity. Protein: While senior cats require quality protein to maintain muscle mass, the quantity and type may need to be adjusted based on disease processes. Joint Health: Many diets formulated for older cats contain additives such as glucosamine or chondroitin to help support joint health.
Kidney Health
Cats tend to develop kidney disease in old age; therefore, diets for kidney support usually have controlled levels of phosphorus and higher-quality protein.
Hydration
Cats tend to drink less water with increasing age. For that reason, wet food can help to keep them hydrated.
Final Thoughts
If "Senvelgo" refers to medication or some kind of dietary supplement, it would be worthwhile to find out from the vet whether any dietary modifications are recommended in relation to it. Always consult with your veterinarian before making substantial changes in your cat's diet.
