Vitamins that are key for healthy cats

June 11, 2011 by Jennifer Simms Leave a Comment

Vitamins are a crucial part of humans’ diets, but these plentiful nutrients are also important when it comes to feeding cats as well. There are a large number of vitamins that can have a positive effect on a feline’s health, and it would behoove pet owners to know which have the greatest benefits.

As is the case with people, antioxidants can go a long way in maintaining proper health. Among the numerous benefits these vital nutrients offer is that they reduce the appearance of free radicals. In doing so, antioxidants boost a cat’s immune system which can prevent numerous diseases ranging from arthritis to cancer. There are a number of foods that include antioxidants, most commonly fruits and vegetables such as beans, peas and carrots, however the easiest way for your cat to get his or her daily dose is through the use of supplements.

VitaChews for Cats are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals for cats so they can get plenty of antioxidants. With a delicious chicken-liver flavor, cats will have no problem eating the tablet, and in doing so they get plenty of vitamins A, D and E as well as iron.

Omega-3 is among the most well-known nutrients for both humans and pets. This versatile fatty acid does just about everything for your cat, from protecting against diseases to creating a thick, glossy coat. There are plenty of easy ways to get the nutrient including Nordic Natural Omega-3 Pet tablets. Like antioxidants, this easy-to-administer capsule will reduce free radicals and keep your cat happy and healthy.

Calcium is also crucial for a cat’s health, and being deficient in the mineral can lead to a host of problems for felines. In the past, many domestic cats were not getting enough calcium, which wreaked havoc on their bones. However, these days there are plenty of calcium-rich foods and supplements so getting your pet enough of this nutrient is a piece of cake.

For cat owners looking give their pets a little calcium boost, especially as the felines enter old age, Osteoform Calcium-Phosphorus and Vitamin Supplement is a chewable tablet that will help any cats (and even dogs) who may be calcium-deficient.
