Should You Be Feeding Your Cat Supplements?

 

Provided you are giving your cat a balanced diet, there should be no need to give it additional supplements.

In fact, adding additional vitamins and minerals to your cat's diet could upset the natural balance of nutrition and do more harm than good.

Many commercial cat foods are nutritionally complete and balanced, and no additional supplements will need to be added if you are feeding your cat these foods.

Suppose you are feeding your cat a raw food diet that represents the types of foods that it would eat in the wild. In that case, it should be nutritionally balanced with sufficient protein and the essential vitamins and minerals needed to remain healthy.

You may need to give your cat additional vitamin supplements during illness or when other factors are involved, such as losing body fluids or diarrhea.

Even in these circumstances, it is wise to check with your vet first to ensure these additional supplements will not cause any other problems.

If you feel that your cat's nutrition is not up to par, you will need to consider supplementing its diet after being sure you have good advice.

There are a lot of good cat vitamin and mineral supplements on the market, and they can help improve your cat's health, particularly as your cat ages, but it is best to give these to your pet based on sound advice from a good vet.

It is well worth discussing with your vet any changes that need to be made to your cat's diet during its various life stages.

Nutritional needs change somewhat as the cat ages, and some good commercial products help with fur balls and other problems that specific breeds of cats might have.

Cats that are well cared for will live a lot longer than what could be expected in the wild, and for that reason, as with people, aged cats can require additional supplementation.
