Vitamins for Our Four Legged Friends

I, like so many of you am a pet owner. And because I (like I know you do too) love my two sweet kitties like my children, I do everything I can to keep them healthy. I buy them the best cat food, lavish them with toys, and spoil them from time to time with a little cat nip. More recently however, I tried something that even I was a little wary of at first but it has really improved the health of my two little fluff balls, a daily multi-vitamin, and organic supplement!

Before I get to far ahead of myself, let me back up. One afternoon, as I was cleaning the bathroom, and I noticed my cat Dusty licking a bag of epsom salts sitting next to the bathroom. After my initial disgust with him wore off, I realized that one of the reasons he might be doing this is because he's not getting enough minerals in his diet.

After reading several reference books on animal health, including Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats which deals with a variety of issues concerning pet health including diet and has a particularly thorough section on pet illnesses with a variety of ways to treat them using supplements, herbs and homeopathy I decided what vitamins would best suit my sweet hearts.

So now every morning as I'm taking my cocktail of multi-vitamins, minerals, and essential oils, I make sure to give Dusty and Lily (the kitties) a multi-vitamin of their own called Feline Formula, and a supplement called Hairball Formula both pf which are made by Actipet, and they have never been healthier. Plus they love it! They always know when I'm getting their supplements ready for them, and come running to the kitchen.
