Greg has been diagnosed with a metastatic intestinal cancer. He's on Palladia and Prednisone. The issue is, the only food he seems to be able to keep down - and have a desire for - is canned tuna. I know it lacks a lot of needed nutrients, and should
VetriScience NuCat Multivitamin Everyday Health Bite Sized Chews available on chewy.com and amazon.com are highly palatable multivitamins that would be good to supplement Greg’s diet with. Prescription Royal Canin recovery canned diet is generally palatable (yummy) to even sick or hospitalized cats and is another option as well that your vet can either sell from his/her practice or prescribe. Good luck!

What animal glucosamine product do you recommend for hip pain and a cat?
I typically recommend the following: 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil for cats 2. Cosequin for cats 3. Duralactin paste 4. Dasuquin for cats Any of these will be great supplements to use. You can use the Welactin and Duralactin together along with either Dasuqin or Cosequin (not both). I hope this helps! If Stella is in a lot of pain from arthritis, she may need more than supplementation and more along the lines of pain medication to reduce inflammation and pain. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

I have two beautiful cat brothers- they just turned a year old. I got all their shots, deworming etc through vetco. they have also been neutered. Recently I heard I should be feeding them strictly wet food not kibble- is this true? for some reason
Canned food is recommended because it has a high moisture content and it is a high protein/low carb diet. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they require protein (of animal origin) and very little to no carbs in their diet. In the wild, the only carbs ingested are typically those eaten by small prey. Many dry foods, by their very nature, are high in carbs which can lead to obesity. You can continue to feed a dry food as long as you choose a grain free or low carb product. Keep them up to date on vaccines, use monthly parasite prevention, feed a healthy diet and provide plenty of exercise and love. Probiotics can be used to promote gut health and won't harm them, however if they have no GI issues then you can skip them.

Hello, Is this joint supplement good for my cat, sweetie to try with a little salomn oil? The Chondroitin in it is made of shark cartilage. I sadly can not use cosequin on her because sweetie is sensitive to chrondroitin made of porcine or beef cart
Hi there! I’m not familiar with this brand, but those are good ingredients! You could definitely start your other cat on it, as long as your regular vet has no concerns based on your cat’s health history. As long as he’s on a high quality food, it may not be necessary until you start seeing the early signs of arthritis or other joint troubles.

What food is good for cats who are five years old ?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! There are several diets available in the market as you have probably noticed. I personally prefer Purina, Royal canin and Science Diet foods as they are of high quality and have research to back up their use. Any of their variations should be good for Maddi. Good luck and have a great day!
