Virbac Launches URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats, Feline Muscle Support Supplement

Virbac, a global leader in animal health, has announced the launch of URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats: a muscle-support supplement that addresses an often neglected aspect of feline wellness: muscle health. Following the successful launch of URSOLYX Soft Chews for Dogs in 2025, the feline supplement expands Virbac’s commitment to supporting muscle health across companion animals.

Muscle atrophy affects many cats aged seven and older, causing reduced mobility and lower quality of life. Unlike conventional joint supplements, URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats feature ursolic acid, a natural compound that works at the molecular level to inhibit mRNA expression changes associated with muscle atrophy, helping to maintain functional muscle health in cats.

While joint health has always been a focus of senior pet care, muscle resilience represents an equally significant component of feline agility and vitality. As pet parents increasingly begin to focus on their pets’ health span, maintaining muscle function becomes crucial to helping cats enjoy their senior years with strength.

“With URSOLYX Soft Chews, we’re empowering cat owners with an innovative solution that addresses this overlooked need,” said Giovanni Abruzzini, president and CEO of Virbac US. “This delivers meaningful solutions for feline health, reflecting our commitment to supporting cats throughout their health span.”

URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats is the first muscle health supplement of its kind specifically formulated for felines. This innovation complements Virbac’s comprehensive portfolio of feline wellness solutions, addressing a critical gap in proactive care and mobility support. Early efficacy study results showed an 82% mobility improvement by week eight and many saw results in as little as two weeks.1

URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats is ideal for:
● Aging cats (7+ years) experiencing natural muscle decline
● Active cats who need support for continued mobility
● Recuperating cats rebuilding strength

With an 89% acceptability rating, convenient once-daily administration and bacon flavor, URSOLYX Soft Chews for Cats make proactive muscle health easy for both veterinarians and cat owners to implement into daily care routines.
