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.
Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! The first thing I'd make sure Willow is eating is enough calcium. Be sure Willow is eating a kitten food until she is about 9 months to a year of age as kitten food has more calcium and other minerals in it that is required for healthy bone growth. A great supplement you may want to consider is DHA and EPA. Both are types of omega 3 fatty acid that are excellent for healthy development for multiple organ systems such as the heart, brain, skin, and bone/joint health. I have a product I'd recommend below: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetri-science-laboratories-omega-3-6-9-dog-and-cat-gel-caps# I hope this helps!
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.
Yes, this is fine to give to your cat. Just be sure to get the one formulated for cats. I do recommend taking her into a vet, however, as she may be painful. Cats can be stoic about pain, and can be quite good at hiding it. If she is in pain, she would benefit from pain medications which the vet can prescribe. Unfortunately you cannot give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I would have her seen by a vet in the next day or two. Good luck, I hope this helps!
Many tripod kitties lead perfectly normal lives without any problems at any point. It's great that you are planning for the future and watching out for Jax's health. The absolute most important thing you can do for him is to keep his weight at a very low and balanced level. I like to recommend to clients to keep their three legged cats / dogs on the thin side of normal. Your pets may not like it, but it is definitely for the best. I am not telling you to starve Jax by any means, just make sure that you never have to ask yourself "Is he looking a little chubby". If you are asking yourself that, then it is probably time for a diet. As far as supplements, there are dozens and dozens of joint supplements available. You can ask 20 different vets an get 20 different answers as to which is the best. The one I would use with my own cats is this: https://www.chewy.com/nutramax-welactin-feline-omega-3-cat/dp/101462 It's nice because you just just put it on their food and they usually lo
