Ragdoll Cats

As a Ragdoll Cat owner you may often wonder if you should supplement your Ragdoll’s diet with vitamins. The answer to this question depends on the diet you feed your cat and how healthy he or she is.

Before starting a vitamin regiment for your cat consults your veterinarian. If you feed your Ragdoll cat a premium brand of cat food it may not be necessary to supplement your cat’s diet with vitamins. Do not start supplementing your cat’s diet without consulting your veterinarian.
Vitamin supplements come in two forms: water soluble and fat soluble. Excess water soluble vitamins are passed in your cat’s urine. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in your cat’s body and excesses could be harmful to your cat.

Vitamins of the water soluble variety includes the B family and vitamin C; Fat soluble vitamins include A, D, E, K. Your veterinarian can suggest which vitamins your Ragdoll cat may need supplemented in its diet.

Your veterinarian can recommend a premium cat food that will meet all of your Ragdoll cat’s nutritional needs. Premium cat foods provide balanced nutrition that will meet all of your cat’s needs; do not skimp when it comes to buying food for your cat.
