Vitamins

I was wondering if any of you gave your kitties vitamins, or suppliments of any kind. I'd like to get my kitties on something if it's out there. Thanks!

I believe if they are getting a quality cat food there is no need to supplement with vitamins.

If you are feeding raw then there is a need to supplement.

Mainly it's for one cat, that is on canned food only. He has seriously weight issues, and I want to make sure he's getting everything that he needs. He's my problem cat, but I love him. lol

The canned food diet is good. Dry food tends to be full of unnecessary calories.

May I ask what canned he is eating??

If it is AFFCO approved you technically need no supplement s ....

Prairie is generally considered to be a "quality" food, so vitamins or other supplements are unnecessary. You have to be careful not to overdose certain vitamins, so it's not wise to supplement except on a vet's advice.
You could perhaps feed another quality canned food in addition, if you're worried about imbalances, and your cat tolerates it. Something along the lines of Merrick, Felidae, Natural Balance, California Natural, etc.. The problem with feeding just one food is that cats can become fixated on that particular brand, and eat nothing else, so giving prescription diets, when necessary, can be nearly impossible.
