Top 5 Treats for Cats

Cats may have nine lives, but they still need good nutrition to enjoy all those lives. Many cat food varieties these days are robust and full of protein and fat for energy, but may still lack other important nutrients needed for a fully healthy kitty.

Luckily, supplements and fortified treats can help boost your feline’s intake of nutrients without the hassle or cost of finding a food source that has it all. We’ve rounded up this list of the five best treats and supplements for cats with highly beneficial nutrients and enjoyable flavors. 

As always, please consult your veterinarian before making any changes to your cat’s diet or introducing a new supplement. Cats have unique health needs just like humans, so it’s important to discuss with your vet whether certain supplements will be safe and beneficial for your kitty. Likewise, consulting with your vet ahead of time can help you track any changes that may come from introducing these supplements.

1. Bluebird Botanicals Companion CBD Oil

Did you know that all mammals have an endocannabinoid system and as such, can experience the same benefit from CBD as humans? It’s true! Full-spectrum hemp extracts can make for a great addition to your pup or kitty’s diet. Bluebird Botanicals offers a line of Companion CBD pet products designed to treat your pet to the same health and wellness that you treat yourself to. In fact, our Companion CBD products are so beloved that they won a Best of Supplements award from Better Nutrition!

2. Greenies Feline Dental Treats

Oral health is extremely important for cats, yet many pet owners forget to give their friends a good teeth cleaning every once in a while. Greenies is here to help with that. They offer a line of Feline Dental Treats with a specially formulated crunchy texture to help reduce tartar buildup. Their treats are available in several tasty flavors (well, tasty for cats) - including roasted chicken, salmon, tuna, and catnip. They’re packed with protein, fat, and fiber yet contain less than 2 calories per treat so that your kitty can enjoy them every day. 

Price: $2.35 per 2.1 oz bag

3. Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil

Question: what do cats love more than fish? Answer: not much...except maybe yarn. But fish definitely earns top ranks for almost every feline palate. While some foods may feature some fish-based ingredients, they’re often lacking the vital nutrients that come from fish - particularly omega fatty acids. These fatty acids are crucial to helping your cat maintain a healthy, lustrous coat and also help support immune and cardiovascular health. 

Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil provides these fatty acids in a delicious format that your fish fiend is sure to love. You can pump some drops onto your cat’s food or administer directly by mouth. And with a price tag of just over $5 for a 4 oz bottle, both your kitty and your wallet will be thanking you. 

Price: $5.59 per 4 oz bottle

4. Nutramax Cosequin Joint Health Soft Chews

Any cat owner has surely witnessed some pretty impressive feline acrobatics. Between jumping, crawling, sprinting, tumbling, wrestling, and chasing anything that moves, your cat is likely putting some wear on its joints over time. And while young kitties seem to be the most durable creatures alive, older kitties may start feeling the pain from unsupported joints after years of such activities. 

Nutramax Cosequin Joint Health Soft Chews feature a blend of glucosamine, manganese, and chondroitin to help support your feline’s joint health. These soft chews make for a desirable treat while also packing extra nutrition with omega-3 fatty acids.  

Price: $10.99 per 2.1 oz bag

5. Life Extension Cat Mix

Did you know that multivitamins exist for cats and dogs, too? Life Extension is regarded as a  go-to cat supplement - each serving provides a boost of flavonoids, amino acids, antioxidants, probiotics, essential fatty acids, methylation enhancers, and more. It also features a special ingredient called arginine, which detoxifies the ammonia in cats' kidneys, supports heart and pancreatic function, and helps keep the gut healthy.

Life Extension Cat Mix comes in a powder format that can be sprinkled right on your cat’s food and is easily digestible. Plus, you get a huge quantity for a small price, making this supplement a no-brainer. 

Price: $13.08 per 100 g container
