Not only do senior cats have greater nutritional requirements, they also absorb less from
their gastrointestinal tract. So although a good high quality diet is essential, nutritional
supplementation is just as important. Remember, most cat foods are grown through
intensive factory farming methods. Older cats need five major supplements:
Vitamins, AntiOxidants, Essential Fatty Acids, Condroprotective Agents, and
Enymes. We recommend the following schedule… and the following products. These are
not ALL the great products available, but just some that we know and trust.
We've chosen products that are relatively easy to add to your cat's diet, and are important
for the major issues that older cats face; Kidney Disease, Degenerative Joint Disease, and
Cancer. All the VETSnyc products can all be purchased at any of our hospitals
or we can certainly mail you anything you wish to purchase. (Just call the hospital nearest you)
