High blood pressure in cats

Cats can suffer from many of the same health conditions as we do, but high blood pressure is one we don’t often think about when it comes to our animals.

However, it’s relatively common, and affects senior cats in particular. In fact, one in five cats over the age of nine has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, and we often simply won’t realize that our cats are affected. It can’t be managed solely by giving them the best cat food for senior cats, so what else can we do?
