Pet supplements

From everything I read the most important ones that you cand add to your pet routine are omega 3 (or a good fish oil that has more omega 3 than 6, a 5-1 or more report is best), a dental powder and joint supplements.

Cats show subtle signs if they have joint pain and it is really easy to miss. It is stuff like hesitating to jump or climb something they would normally do.

We have many lickmats in the house, with different textures. I use them both for dogs and cats. There are so many ways you can  use them, you can give their wet food on them so that  they eat it slower, or you can give them lickable treats when you want to keep them busy. You cand also but in the freezer with the treats or bone broth, so that it takes longer for them to finish it.

I don't have this, it is a new product I keep seeing and i find it very cool because cats tend to climb surfaces and this one is doubling as a cat tower and an air purifier. I have only seen good reviews.
