When Smart Pets Need Smart Supplements 

Vitamin supplements can benefit both felines and canines, giving their health and well-being an added boost when they’re not feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. 

What to look out for:

These are signs and symptoms your furry buddy might display if they aren’t absorbing or digesting the right amount of nutrients: 

  • Loss of appetite
  • Dermatitis
  • Decreased body temperature
  • Changes in tongue colour
  • Change in their coat
  • Clotting problems
  • Neurological signs
  • Anaemia
  • Restlessness
  • Weakness
  • Dry skin and loss of fur

3 benefits of vitamin supplements that smart pets deserve:

1. Increased energy – Keep them happy and playful!

A vitamin supplement can benefit your pet’s heart, liver, kidneys, eyes, and immune system, helping to promote overall well-being for your pet. Senior pets can especially benefit from vitamin supplements.

2. Healthier skin and coat – Keep them looking pawfect!

Vitamins can help improve skin health, leading to a smoother, shinier coat. It can also improve skin and coat health and reduce shedding.

3. Strengthened immune system – Keep them going, going, strong!

Supplements can also help maintain optimal liver and kidney functioning and boost your pet’s immune system, helping your pet ward off illnesses and diseases. 

What vitamins do smart cats need to keep them purrring?

Cats, being obligate carnivores, need these vitamins:

A – for vision and skin health 

B1- for energy metabolism

B12 – for red blood cell production and nerve function 

D – for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels for bone health 

E – serves as an antioxidant. 

The essential minerals include iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, and chloride.

Feline Cuisine ensures that our dietary range incorporates all these essential vitamins and minerals because we understand that smart cats deserve to live their best nine lives!

What vitamins do smart dogs need to keep their tails wagging?

Unlike cats, dogs require slightly different vitamins and different dosages. Happy, healthy, smart dogs need Vitamins A, B complex, C, D, and E, as well as various minerals like calcium and phosphorus. 

The Canine Cuisine range is also formulated with all these essential vitamins and minerals to ensure your doggo stays smart, healthy, and barking for more.

Do smart pets require different vitamins?

All pets are not equal when it comes to their required vitamins. As most smart pet owners know, pets are individuals, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for their taste preferences and neither is there for the amount and type of vitamins they each need to function at their purrfect health. 

Cats and dogs have different nutritional requirements and it’s important to note that they cannot take the same supplements. Supplements formulated for cats may contain different levels of vitamins and minerals that are toxic to dogs, and vice versa.  

It’s best to consult your vet about the correct vitamin supplements and dosage for your pet’s particular needs to ensure your fluffy friend avoids future deficiency problems.
