One Health: When Health Starts from the Bowl

The health and well-being of companion animals are becoming an increasingly important focus for veterinarians, pet food companies, and pet owners alike. A recent international survey among veterinary professionals has brought renewed attention to the concept of "One Health"—an approach that recognizes the close connection between animal health, human health, and environmental well-being.

In this context, prevention plays a crucial role. Alongside regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy lifestyle, nutrition can make a significant contribution to maintaining a cat’s well-being, particularly when specific nutritional needs are involved.

This awareness is at the heart of the REFINE VET Diet Cat range, developed to provide targeted nutritional support for cats requiring specialized diets. The formulas are designed in accordance with PARNUT regulations and FEDIAF guidelines, using carefully selected ingredients to deliver specific nutritional benefits without compromising palatability. Because dietary compliance starts with palatability, every recipe is developed to encourage consistent acceptance, even among the most demanding cats.

Among the products in the range, REFINE VET Diet Struvite is specifically formulated to support urinary tract health, one of the most delicate aspects of adult feline well-being. The recipes feature an appropriate protein content, are enriched with salmon oil as a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, and contain reduced magnesium levels to help support the nutritional management of struvite and reduce the risk of recurrence. In addition, the grain-free formulation promotes high digestibility and excellent palatability, even for the most demanding cats.

The growing focus on prevention confirms the important role nutrition plays in supporting animal well-being. This is why REFINE continues to develop advanced nutritional solutions that complement the work of veterinary professionals, providing pet owners with practical support in the daily management of their cats’ health.
