    General Health and Vitality for Cats

    Cats are obligate carnivores with nutritional requirements that differ fundamentally from dogs and humans. Several nutrients that other species can synthesise internally must come from diet in cats: taurine, arachidonic acid, vitamin A as retinol, niacin and arginine. When these are insufficient, serious health problems follow. A comprehensive daily multivitamin formulated specifically for cats fills these gaps in a single daily scoop.

    Why taurine is non-negotiable for cats

    Taurine is an amino acid that cats cannot synthesise in adequate quantities. It is essential for normal heart function (taurine deficiency directly causes dilated cardiomyopathy in cats), vision (taurine is concentrated in the retina and its deficiency causes progressive retinal degeneration leading to blindness), digestive function (required for bile salt conjugation), and reproductive health. Taurine deficiency caused a major epidemic of feline heart disease in the 1980s before it was identified and corrected in commercial cat food formulations. It remains critical to monitor, particularly in cats fed home-prepared or raw diets.

    Lysine and feline herpesvirus

    L-lysine is included in the formula. Lysine is an essential amino acid that also plays a role in managing feline herpesvirus, the most common cause of recurring upper respiratory infections and eye conditions in cats exposed as kittens. Lysine supplementation is widely used in veterinary practice as part of herpesvirus management, particularly to reduce the frequency of stress-triggered flare-ups.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why does the cat multivitamin contain taurine when most cat foods already include it?
    Commercial diets include taurine, but processing, storage, individual absorption variation and home-prepared diets can mean some cats benefit from additional supplementation. Cats with chronic vomiting may also have impaired taurine absorption.
    My cat has been vomiting for years and vets have found no cause. Could taurine deficiency be relevant?
    Taurine deficiency can cause digestive dysfunction in cats. If the diet has been inadequate in taurine over a sustained period, supplementation may be relevant. Discuss with your vet alongside other investigations.
    What makes the cat formula completely different from the dog formula?
    The cat formula contains species-specific nutrients including taurine, lysine and arginine that are absent from the dog formula. The dog formula uses green banana powder as its base and contains turmeric and glucosamine at different levels. Never substitute one for the other.
    Is this suitable for kittens?
    Yes. The formula is grain-free and appropriate from kittenhood. Starting early builds the nutritional foundation that supports health throughout the cat's life.
    My cat has feline herpesvirus and gets recurring eye and respiratory infections. Can this help?
    The lysine content provides amino acid support relevant to herpesvirus management and should be used alongside veterinary treatment. It complements rather than replaces antiviral management.
    Does the fish flavour contain actual fish?
    The fish flavour is a flavouring component only. No animals are used in the flavouring itself. The product is suitable for cats with fish protein allergies where the intolerance is to fish protein rather than flavouring compounds.
    Can I combine this with other Petz Park cat supplements?
    Yes. The Multivitamin provides a comprehensive nutritional foundation designed to be combined with more targeted supplements such as Urinary and Kidney, Joint or Probiotics.
    What is the correct dosage?
    1 scoop daily for cats up to 4kg. 2 scoops daily for cats over 4kg. Sprinkle onto or mix into food.
