Our cats bring joy, comfort, and personality into our lives every day. On World Cat Day, it’s the perfect time to give back with a little extra attention to their daily wellbeing.
In addition to a balanced diet, enrichment, and regular vet visits, nutritional supplements can be a helpful part of a cat’s wellness routine. Ingredients like Hemp Oil, Omega 3-6-9, Magnesium, Biotin, and Vitamin B12 are commonly used to support general health in pets. Our Petabolics range offers targeted supplements specially formulated to support your pet’s overall wellbeing.
