Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any good vitamin brands they recommend? I had my cat on some chewable vitamins from petsmart, but they've since been hard to find. I'm giving them to my 6yr old FIV kitty, who appart from the occasional bouts of sneezy runny eyes and soft foul smelling stool (which I have probiotics that I sprinkle on his food every now and then) is pretty healthy otherwise. Just something to give him a little extra help, the ones I had him on last time had digestive enzymes that helped with his occasional stool problems as well.

Thanks in advanced!

Have you asked your local PetSmart if they can order them in for you, since you have purchased them before.  Or if you know the name of them, have you tried just calling around to other pet supply places in your area to try to find them. 

I'm  honestly not familiar with Pet Vitamins.  I HAVE heard of Transfer Factor, though, for the immune System.

Glad to hear your guy is staying healthy

I haven't asked, I guess that would be a good idea haha.

I'm curious if anyone else had any experience in cat vitamins as well.

I have found the best defense for my herpes girl  is basic good nutrition.  Start with a high quality grain-free canned food and/or dry food.  Then, my girl gets her daily doses of L-Lysine and Missing Link twice a day.  She had the first flare up in 8 years last year and we treated it quickly and she's been fine ever since.  I also run Feliway diffusers to help her de-stress and also try to stick to a routine as much as possible.
