Cat Vitamins & Supplements

The type of cat vitamins your pet might need depends on their individual health. Most healthy cats on a complete diet don’t need extra supplements. However, if your cat has specific medical issues, your vet might recommend targeted nutrients such as:

• Omega-3 fatty acids for skin, coat, and joint health
• Taurine for heart and eye health
• Probiotics for digestion
• Glucosamine for mobility in aging cats

Our selection of cat dietary supplements includes formulas tailored to these needs. Always consult your vet before starting a supplement, even if you're choosing from the best cat vitamins available.

Indoor cats are generally protected from outdoor dangers but may still face unique health challenges like obesity, boredom, or lack of sunlight exposure. These factors can sometimes lead to vitamin or mineral imbalances over time. While many indoor cats thrive without additional support, some may benefit from specific feline nutritional supplements prescribed by a vet—particularly if they have chronic conditions or are aging. Cat vitamin treats can offer a convenient and palatable way to deliver essential nutrients under professional guidance.

Not all vitamins for cats are meant for daily use. Some cat supplements are short-term aids for illness or recovery, while others, such as cat longevity medication or omega-based cat joint supplements, may be recommended for daily, ongoing support. Giving your cat daily vitamins without veterinary oversight, however, can be harmful. Your Dutch-affiliated vet can help you determine the safest frequency based on your pet’s age, diet, and health history.

No. Human multivitamins are not formulated for cats and can be toxic. Excess doses of vitamins A, D, and calcium from human supplements can lead to serious health complications in cats. Unlike humans, cats have unique dietary requirements and metabolize nutrients differently. Instead, opt for vet-formulated options like cat vitamin treats, cat multivitamins, or joint and skin supplements developed specifically for feline needs.

Only add supplements to your cat’s food with a veterinarian’s approval. While some cat dietary supplements are safe to mix into food, doing so without guidance could result in over-supplementation or dietary imbalance. Dutch offers vet-approved products like cat skin and coat supplements or cat vitamin treats that integrate easily into mealtime routines, but all additions to your cat’s diet should be reviewed by a vet to ensure they align with their nutritional needs.

Yes, fat-soluble vitamins such as A and D can accumulate in the body and become toxic over time if overdosed. Always use caution and avoid giving your cat anything that hasn’t been explicitly recommended or prescribed by a licensed vet.
