Dear Dr. Smith,
I am looking for a product to boost the immune system. I rescue and have cats in kidney failure, chronic infections, stomatits etc. I want to buy one for all my cats. They are already on their indiviual disease products but want a broad spectrum immune product. What do you recommend, Small Animal Antioxidant or Immugen?
Response:
Hello.
Thank you for your inquiry to Holistic Pet Info. Results of a new study found that cats fed a supplemented diet containing antioxidants, prebiotic fiber and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids live significantly longer, healthier lives compared with control cats that were fed a standard adult maintenance diet.
The best actual overall supplement for all your cats that contains vitamins, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and immune support would be Nu-Cat Senior by VetriScience. Though it is recommended for senior cats it contains many additional supplements that should maintain your healthy and improve your sick cats as well. Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Colleen Smith DVM, CVA
