If she is on a high quality, balanced diet I would be cautious about over supplementing her as this can lead to dietary excesses (especially with cod liver oil type supplements as they can be high in certain vitamins also). Plant based supplements such as viacutan may also be an option but 3-5 days a week is likely sufficient

It is very difficult to make a homemade diet for cats because they have such specific nutritional requirements. We don't have a supplement that will meet all the requirements, but if you do want to make a homemade diet, check out these two websites I'm putting below. They offer recipes for homemade diets for cats, and because they are formulated by veterinary nutritionists, you know that your cat's daily requirement will be met. Be sure to follow the recipes exactly so your cats do not suffer any deficiencies in their nutrition. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com

I would caution against giving too many supplements. The calcium supplement is definitely not needed. Research has shown that over-supplementation of calcium in puppies leads to bone abnormalities. The multi-vitamin also may not be needed. In fact, if your puppy is placed on a higher quality dog food (besides the Pedigree), you won't need any supplements at all. I would highly suggest slowly transitioning Roonie to high quality food such as: Royal Canin, Wellness, Merrick, Hill's Science diet, etc. The dewormer you selected is the standard one that we start every puppy on, so you are on the right track there because it covers roundworms and hookworms. The Drontal plus covers a few more worms: whipworms and tapeworms. So it is warranted to give if you have suspicions or proof that Roonie is infected with these worms. You will see tapeworms if they were present, because they are visible with the naked eye and look like tiny fried rice when dried. You won't see whipworms, but the stool would be a little soft if present. Although, it won't hurt if you just wanted to give it to make sure you cover most parasites that Roonie could be infected with. However we always encourage you to just get Roonie's fecal tested by your vet so that you know for sure what, if any, parasites are present.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is really no need to do that. If she is being fed a high quality diet, all these vitamins are part of it and do not need to be supplemented. You can consider a multivitamin which would never hurt though in most cases it is not necessary. Good luck and have a great day!

Sully is adorable! Thanks for including a picture. I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question, but every animal is different and some require a combination of products. I would say that about 50% of the animals I try it with have a good response to Rescue Remedy, so that is often my first choice for cats (especially since it can just be added to the water). I have not used the other products, but both appear to have ingredients that could be used alone or in combination with Rescue Remedy. Don't forget that natural supplements are much more variable than medications and will not sedate, so they are sometimes not enough for a very anxious cat. I also recommend combining supplements with a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or a Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) in your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-cats-ear-1-music-for-calming/ ). Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
