Canina Cat-Vitamin, 100 tablets (50 g) is a multivitamin supplement for cats. According to the description, the tablets improve metabolism, support immunity and ensure healthy growth. The base is yeast and calcium carbonate; thanks to milk yeast, the tablets taste good and suit even fussy cats. The manufacturer notes that vitamins are especially important for cats that eat mainly meat, and during pregnancy and lactation, as they help prevent symptoms of nutrient deficiency. The dosage is 3–5 tablets a day depending on the cat's size; for pregnant and nursing cats and kittens the dose can be doubled.
Composition per 1 kg
Vitamin A 600,000 IU, vitamin E (alpha-tocopheryl acetate) 2430 mg, D3 10,000 IU, K3 60 mg, B1 240 mg, B2 160 mg, B6 120 mg, B12 1800 µg, pantothenic acid 300 mg, nicotinic acid 1200 mg, vitamin C 2000 mg and biotin 10,000 µg. One tablet weighs about 0.5 g, so five tablets contain roughly 1500 IU of vitamin A — a maintenance rather than a therapeutic dose.

Cons and what to watch
- No taurine. It is important for cats but not listed.

- Double dose plus food. Doubling for kittens already on kitten food is best agreed with a vet — vitamins A and D3 accumulate.
- Hardly any minerals. Only calcium from the base.
Who really needs vitamins
The manufacturer names the main group directly — cats that eat mainly meat. Home feeding without well-planned supplements often leads to vitamin deficiency, and multivitamins help fill the gap. Another group is pregnant and nursing cats, whose needs rise sharply. If your cat eats a good complete food, extra vitamins are not needed. Details in vitamins for dogs and cats: when they are needed.
Kittens
For kittens the manufacturer allows a double dose. But if a kitten eats a dedicated growth food that already contains all the vitamins, give extra tablets only on your vet's advice. Proper nutrition for kittens is covered in what to feed a kitten.
How to give them
Thanks to the yeast, many cats eat the tablets like treats straight from the hand. If your cat refuses, crush a tablet and mix it with a little wet food. Give the daily dose in one or two servings.
Other Canina vitamins
The brand also makes targeted supplements such as Canina Biotin Forte for the coat, and the liquid Canivita. Do not combine several multivitamins at once, so as not to exceed the dose of fat-soluble vitamins.
Storage
Keep the tub tightly closed in a dry, cool place out of reach of children and animals: yeast tablets smell tasty, and a cat may help itself.
Who it suits
The supplement suits cats on home-made diets, pregnant and nursing cats, and animals recovering from illness, as agreed with a vet. Other options are in our cat vitamins collection and the vitamins and mineral supplements section.
Verdict
Canina Cat-Vitamin is a yeast-based multivitamin for cats: 12 vitamins, 3–5 tablets a day, a double dose for kittens and pregnant or nursing cats, and a fully listed composition. The downsides are the lack of taurine and the fact that cats on a complete food often do not need it; doubling the dose is best agreed with a vet.
