Feed supplements have different ingredients and active agents. Before you give your cat special food, you should consider the animal’s needs. For example, there are vitamin compounds for the immune system and there are food products that help care for skin and fur. There are also products specifically intended to support weakened organs – or to have a calming effect, when a visit to the veterinarian is pending, for example. Feed supplements with green-lipped mussel extract promote strong bones and joints. They strengthen the connective tissue and the cartilage. If your cat has a sensitive stomach and digestive problems, malt pastes or cat grass can have a supporting effect. For example, this loosens hair balls in cats’ stomachs, which often form due to the hair that gets swallowed during grooming.
Feed supplements come in various forms. Powder, tablets or drops can simply be mixed into the regular food. Pastes and gels are suitable for a snack between meals or as a reward.
