Cat medical supplies & grooming essentials

cat-medical-supplies-recommended-Cat-supplies

While you should take your cat to the veterinarian for any major ailments, it is important to be prepared to handle all facets of their health and safety. Having a few cat medical supplies on hand can help you deal with minor injuries or illnesses. These supplies can also help you tremendously to administer first aid in case of a medical emergency.

We’ll also include some grooming supplies in this list as well. It makes sense to store these two essentials in close vicinity to each other for easy access. Just ensure that you have two separate boxes or pouches to keep them separate.

We are continuously learning at Top Cat Guide and regularly write about Cat Health & Wellness and Cat Hygiene & Grooming. So stay updated!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The items on this list are great to keep at hand but please DO NOT self-medicate. Top Cat Guide highly advises you to consult your veterinarian and use/administer under Medical supervision.
