Vitamins and minerals for cats

Given a high-quality cat food, your furr-endly feline can get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals she needs for healthy living. However, some cats have illnesses or are otherwise immunocompromised and need a boost of amino acids and antioxidants to stay healthy. This is where vitamin and mineral supplements for cats come in handy.

Do cats need vitamins and minerals?

Healthy cats get all the vitamins and minerals they need from their premium cat food diet. If your cat is showing symptoms of a deficiency in her diet, she may need supplements to help restore some balance in her health. Never give human vitamin supplements to your cat, though. This is why we have nutritional supplements specifically indicated for cats for pet owners to buy – they are safe and effective when given under the correct circumstances.

What vitamin is best for cats?

Only supplement your cat’s diet with vitamins or minerals recommended to you by the vet. If your cat is recovering from illness or surgery, she may need a nutritional supplement to speed up her recovery. Or if she needs a little pepping up after an anxious spell or traumatic event, then a generalised formula containing a combination of vitamins, minerals, pre- and probiotics, as well as omega fatty acids can work wonders.

For cats who have FHV, feline aids, snuffles or any other immunocompromising condition, Pet Hero also stocks nutritional supplements to help boost their immune systems.
