In addition to the wide range of dietary food, worm pills, flea and tick treatments, and other medicines and supplements, Pharmacy4pets also offers various supplies for the care of your cat or kitten.
Everything for the Care of Your Kitten
To prepare for the acquisition of a new kitten, Pharmacy4pets is the right place for all essential supplies. Some things that should not be missing from your shopping list:
- Kitten food.
- A basket where your kitten can snuggle up and keep warm.
- Food and water bowls. Many cats enjoy drinking from a drinking fountain!
- A litter box, preferably two.
- Cat litter
- Scratching post or scratching board.
- A carrier for transportation to the vet. To make it less stressful, you can spray the carrier with calming Feliway Spray.
- Tasty worm tablets for kittens.
- A flea comb and tick remover.
- Flea treatment suitable for kittens.
- A finger toothbrush to practice teeth brushing early.
- Cat toys.
- Reward snacks.
- When your kitten goes outside, a collar with a tag containing your phone number (in addition to the microchip!) is advisable. For her safety in the dark, you can also consider LED lighting for the collar.
First Aid for Accidents
While cats indeed have nine lives, they can still have accidents. Therefore, it's good to have a basic supply of first aid items at home so that you can do something about minor wounds yourself, with, for example, Vetramil Honey Ointment or Maxani Cleanser Spray. Since cats have such sharp claws and can further injure themselves quickly through constant licking, having a Medical Petshirt at home is particularly pleasant.
Caring for Your Cat from Head to Tail
Fortunately, cats usually groom themselves well, so especially with short-haired ones, brushing is not necessary daily. However, if your cat has a long coat or does not groom itself well, for example, due to arthritis, she may need your help more often. Preventing mats is easier than having to cut them out. In exceptional cases, it's nice to trim your long-haired cat once or several times a year. Most cats do not enjoy bathing very much, and fortunately, it is also rarely necessary. However, in certain skin conditions or if your cat, for example, has walked too close to a parked car, bathing may be necessary. Pharmacy4pets has a beautiful selection of shampoos for every skin and coat type.
Cats have sharp claws, every cat owner knows that... By teaching your cat early to use the scratching post and not to sharpen her claws on the couch, you prevent many problems. Trimming nails in cats is rarely necessary, usually only if they grow abnormally or if your cat gets stuck in the carpet, something that especially occurs in older cats. With a special nail clipper for cats, that task is done quickly. Preventing plaque and tartar is essential to keep your cat's teeth healthy. Therefore, practicing brushing teeth is important. Here's how you can practice this step by step. With your fingers, a finger toothbrush, or a cat toothbrush.
