KEYS TO CAT HEALTH

Cats are special creatures that, with proper care, can flourish and live long, happy lives with their pet parents. And thanks to a variety of brands in the pet industry, there are plenty of products available that will benefit finicky felines.

One aspect of cat health that needs to be expressed to customers is the fact that these companion animals require taurine, an essential amino acid, for heart and eye health. Also of utmost importance is that cats should be provided with fresh, clean water at all times. A product that promotes water consumption in cats is CATWATER, which is ionized and chlorine-free with a light rate of acidity to encourage cats to drink more.

As cats can be picky eaters, often gravitating toward wet food and ignoring dry kibble, oral health can be overlooked by consumers. According to Scott Reinhardt, vice president of sales and marketing for Swedencare USA, cat parents are seeking “convenient and effective ways to reduce dental issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease in their cats. If not prevented, these issues often require medication and/or expensive dental work to alleviate pain. In addition to regular annual exams, consumers are looking for preventative products that they can find at their local pet retailers.”

In addition to noting that ProDen PlaqueOff Powder Cat includes brewer’s yeast to counter a cat’s discerning palate, Reinhardt has some advice for pet store owners.

“Retailers often overlook the importance of dental care products for cats so we always recommend that they highlight them on end caps, or bring extra attention to them in some way,” he recommended. “Pet parents are actively looking for ways to improve their cat’s dental health so by letting them know about PlaqueOff, we are helping to reduce plaque and tartar concerns, bad breath and helping the overall health and vitality of their pet, while also increasing recurring revenue for pet retailers.”

CATWATER is the only mineral-free & pH optimized water for cats. The No.1 reason for cat vet visits is feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), so CATWATER was created to promote urinary health and prevent issues before they start. CATWATER is mineral-, chlorine- & toxin-free. Additionally, cats prefer the taste of pH-optimized and mineral-free water, which encourages them to drink more.
