Cats on a complete food usually get all the nutrients they need, so supplements are best used for a specific reason. Here is a guide to the most popular types.
Do cats need supplements?
Complete cat food is made to provide everything your cat needs, so most healthy cats don't need extra vitamins. Supplements are most useful for a particular need, such as a dull coat, a sensitive tummy, hairballs or getting older. Cats fed a home-made or raw diet may need a multivitamin or a balancing supplement.
Skin and coat
Omega-3 and omega-6 oils, such as salmon oil, cod liver oil and evening primrose oil, help support healthy skin and a glossy coat. Skin and coat supplements suit cats with dry, flaky skin or a dull coat. If your cat scratches a lot or has bald patches, check for fleas and speak to your vet.
Hydration and urinary health
Many cats don't drink enough water, which can affect their urinary health. Hydration supplements like Purina ONE Hydralife and Pro Plan Hydra Care are tasty liquids that encourage cats to take on more water. Urinary and kidney supplements are designed to support the bladder and kidneys, especially in older cats.
Digestion and probiotics
Probiotics like Pro Plan FortiFlora and Protexin support healthy gut bacteria during a change of food, after a tummy upset or at stressful times. If your cat has sickness or diarrhoea that lasts more than a day or two, or stops eating, contact your vet rather than relying on a supplement.
Hairballs, joints and calming
Hairball remedies and malt pastes help hair pass through the gut, alongside regular brushing. Joint supplements like YuMOVE support older and less active cats. Calming supplements with ingredients such as valerian and L-tryptophan can help anxious cats, and work best when started before a stressful event.
Giving supplements safely
Choose a supplement made for cats, or one labelled for cats and dogs, and follow the dose for your cat's weight. Never give your cat human vitamins or dog-only products, as some ingredients are toxic to cats. Check with your vet first if your cat takes medication or has a health condition.
Never run out of their daily supplement. Pop it on Bottomless Bowl with your cat's food. It turns up before you run out, you save on every order, and you can pause or cancel whenever you like.
