Best Cat Supplies, According to PetMD Vets

Cats can be notoriously picky eaters, but even the fussiest feline will find it hard to turn his nose up at this best rated wet cat food. With water as its first ingredient, this cat food is formulated to promote a healthy weight and aid in digestion. And the food’s chunky, slathered-in-gravy texture makes it irresistible for felines.

Our veterinarians recommend this high-quality dry cat food for most adult cats. Its well-balanced formula helps cats maintain a healthy weight, while the beet pulp may help reduce hairballs. Hill’s is a loved brand by our experts, and this kibble is packed with ingredients to provide a well-balanced nutritional option for your cat.

The food also contains antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins, and L-carnitine (a supplement that helps turn fat into energy, which keeps them from gaining weight).

Our vet team agrees this Hill’s® Science product is the best dry food for kitten health. What they particularly love about this kitten food option is its high-quality ingredients specially curated by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist.

Aside from having a good balance of prebiotics, omegas, and antioxidants, it’s also specially formulated with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) to support healthy brain and eye development. Plus, it’s approved by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), highly digestible, and has a taste guarantee—all without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

Our vets give two paws up for this toothbrush from Virbac®, a brand trusted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC), for its versatility and quality.

It features both a smaller and larger end, making it suitable for both dogs and cats of varying sizes. Besides being budget-friendly, our vets like this cat toothbrush’s ergonomic head and bristle design, which helps you get into all areas of your cat’s mouth to remove food and plaque effectively.

From a vet-trusted brand in cat care, Purina® Pro Plan® Crunchy Bites are considered the best cat dental treat on the market by our panel of vets. Not only are they VOHC-approved, but they’re also low-calorie treats (less than two calories each) with a crunchy texture that cats love.

They come in two cat-favorite flavors—liver and chicken. While they don’t replace the need for cat tooth-brushing, they can be used as a preventive measure and a form of positive reinforcement for good behavior.

As our vets’ favorite flea and tick prevention for cats, Revolution® Plus covers just about every parasite that can harm your feline: fleas, ticks, heartworms, ear mites, and gastrointestinal (GI) parasites such as hookworms and roundworms. The top-rated cat flea treatment is applied topically every month to cats at least 8 weeks old and 2.8 pounds. Talk to your veterinarian about whether your cat can be prescribed this medication, as it might not be safe for felines with a history of seizures.

Vetoquinol® is a brand loved and trusted by our vet panel. This dog ear cleaner helps to keep your cat’s ears dry and includes aloe vera to help calm any irritation in the ear canal. Available in four sizes, you can choose which amount you need on hand depending on frequency used and the size of your pet. It’s a great choice for pets prone to ear infections (no prescription needed)!

The Optixcare® eye cleaning wipes make our list yet again as the best wipes for removing tear stains.

Whether you want the best tear stain remover for white fur cats, need a solution for removing tear stains on kitten, or have a pet with lots of tears, these wipes are convenient and safe to use.

We love that the ingredient list is free of harsh chemicals and includes chamomile extract, which can help soothe sensitive skin around the eyes.

According to our vets, these wipes are often kept on hand in their examination rooms because they are safe to use around the sensitive skin around your cat’s eyes.

The Whisker Litter-Robot 4 is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it option for your cat’s bathroom needs. Its automated sifting cycle has a built-in OmniSense™ system that detects when your kitty is inside and pauses the cleaning cycle. There’s also an accompanying app that notifies you when the waste drawer is full and offers insights into your cat’s habits and health.

This automatic litter box also has a built-in step that is ideal senior cats, and a built-in dust screen which is great for cats with allergies or asthma.

Our vets love this litter box’s minimal noise and odor level, the wide entrance, and all of its included accessories.
