Joint supplements for cats are different as many of the human and dog supplements do not suit the cats at all. In addition, feline joint products are dosed in the correct ratio for cats and are often flavoured to make them more palatable. Feline joint supplements are of many types like oils, powders, granules and capsules. This is because cats are very particular and fussy as to what they like and don’t like at all. They also come in granules, with MSM, that can be mixed with the food. It is not advisable to feed human joint supplements to cats as they are the wrong strength and can cause serious damage instead. Always ask your vet for advice if unsure.
Too much calcium can cause skeletal problems, vitamin A in high levels can damage blood vessels and too much vitamin D can trigger a cat to stop eating, among a lot of other health risks.
Both cats and dogs benefit greatly from frequent squeezing of the contents of our Omega 3 DHA out of soft gels on to their meal. This can help keep their coats nice and shiny and healthy looking. According to estimates, as many as a third of the dogs and cats in the United States alone are taking supplements, including multivitamins for overall health, glucosamine for arthritic joints, probiotics for digestive issues and Omega-3s for a shiny coat. All these supplements are feline or canine joint supplements and not human supplements.
