Health & WellbeingWhat vitamin supplements would you recommend for cats that are almost 12 years old? I'm afraid they might be arthritic.
Hello, if your kitties are eating a brand name cat food well, then vitamin supplementation is neither necessary or advised. For arthritis, however, I strongly recommend starting a glucosamine supplement. Nutramax makes one called Cosequin, which I use & recommend to all of my elderly cat patients. It comes as a capsule that you can pill them with, or just open the capsule & sprinkle the contents on a little moist food. If your cats are very arthritic, then talk with your veterinarian about starting Adequan injections. They really help the joints, too. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
