Pet Nutriscience at the 2026 Feline Medicine Forum: Functional ingredients that transform feline health

Petnutricience® participated in the 2026 Feline Medicine Forum, held in Miraflores, Lima, a professional development event that brought together veterinarians specializing in feline health and included talks focused on scientific advancements applied to clinical practice.

One of the highlights was the presentation by Animal Production Engineer Mariapaz Navarro, titled “How do functional ingredients impact cat health?” Her presentation delved into the importance of these ingredients in modern feline nutrition, emphasizing how they not only meet basic requirements but also play an active role in modulating metabolic, digestive, and inflammatory processes. This approach is especially relevant for cats, whose physiology as obligate carnivores demands formulations aligned with their specific biological needs.

From this perspective, functional nutrition is integrated as a preventative strategy within clinical management, allowing food to contribute directly to digestive balance, urinary system support, and proper weight control. This scientific backing translates into products like Fórmula Natural, which incorporates functional ingredients into recipes developed for specific needs, such as hairball control and nutritional management in neutered cats. In this way, diet becomes a key complement to comprehensive feline health management.

With its participation in the 2026 Feline Medicine Forum, Petnutricience® reaffirms its commitment to professional development and the creation of nutritional solutions based on scientific evidence. Through brands like Fórmula Natural, Pet Delicia, and NutriBites, the company continues to promote alternatives aimed at strengthening feline health and supporting veterinarians in their daily clinical practice.
