Weight management

How to keep your cat at their ideal weight

Updated yesterday

Maintaining a healthy weight helps your cat enjoy a longer, healthier life. Our balanced, protein-rich, portioned meals can support weight management, muscle maintenance, and overall wellbeing. Here's why Marro is great for managing your cat's weight:

  • Portioned meals: tailored to your cat’s current weight and weight goals.

  • High-quality, digestible protein: provides essential nutrients without overfeeding.

  • Calorie-controlled: helps prevent obesity while supporting lean muscle.

  • Adjustable: as your cat's weight changes, just let us know and we'll recalculate their portion

  • Lean recipe options: both our chicken and turkey recipes contain just 6% fat, making them great options for weight loss

How do I know if my cat needs to lose or gain weight?

  • Take a look at your cat: can you see their ribs? What about their spine? When you look at them from above, can you see a defined waist between their ribcage and hips?

  • Now give them a feel: when you run your hand over your cat's back, can you feel their spine without having to push in to find it? And what about their ribs?

  • Weigh them: you can do this at home using a human weighing scale with a box or while holding your cat and subtracting your weight.

Why weight matters

  • Overweight cats are at a much higher risk of diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and shorter lifespan.

  • Underweight cats often suffer with a weakened immune system, can experience muscle wastage, and potentially even organ issues as their body isn't getting enough energy and nutrition.
