Adult Maintenance Pet Food in Alberta: What This Category Covers

Adult maintenance is the everyday nutrition category for healthy adult dogs and cats. If your pet is past the puppy or kitten stage and does not have a specific health condition your vet is managing, this is often the aisle you shop from.

What this category includes

Adult maintenance formulas are designed to support a healthy adult pet's day-to-day nutrition, from protein and fat balance to essential vitamins and minerals. Brands package these as dry kibble, wet food, and mixed options in a range of bag sizes.

Who it is generally aimed at

Generally aimed at adult dogs and cats without a diagnosed condition that requires a therapeutic diet. Your veterinarian is the right person to confirm whether a maintenance formula fits your pet's age, weight, and activity level.

Do I need a prescription for adult maintenance food?

No. Pet food is not a controlled product in Canada, even when it sits in a specialty category. You can browse the adult maintenance section of the food storefront and check out just like any other online order, with no faxed script and no waiting.

That said, therapeutic categories exist for a reason. If your vet has raised a specific health concern, please make the formula choice with them, not from a search result.
