Nutritional interventions are an important part of the management of cats with chronic gastroenteropathy.

Various cooking processes are used in preparing commercial pet foods to ensure delivery of highly nutritious, palatable products. The methods used are determined by the final form (e.g., a dry or wet food), desired texture and visual properties, and packaging. Common forms of pet food include dry extruded kibbles and canned wet food.

Diet modification can play an important role in a multimodal approach to managing dogs with immunosuppressant-responsive enteropathy.
