Cats pretend they're perfectly fine – gracefully leaping, napping as if stress doesn't exist, and boasting a naturally shiny coat. But every experienced cat owner knows: true cat care goes beyond just food and a scratching post. Preventative care is what makes the difference in lifespan, comfort, and cost. The cat care & vet collection forms the foundation: an overview of everything needed to prevent problems instead of treating them.

This guide takes you through the domains of feline health and refers you to the corresponding categories, so you can make informed choices and build a foundation that suits your cat.

1 — Coat & skin: a shiny coat means good health

Coat condition is a thermometer for well-being. Excessive licking, flaking, or itching are early warning signs. With combs & brushes, soothing sprays, and skin support products, you can tackle problems at the source. In the categories for sensitive skin & allergies, combs & brushes, and skin/coat/itch, you'll find solutions that limit shedding, reduce hairballs, and prevent skin irritation.

Short, regular routine: 2–3 short brushing sessions per week + skin check = fewer hairballs, less scratching, more comfort.

2 — Paw & nail care: small intervention, big effect

Ingrown toenails, cracks, or pain when jumping only occur if you wait too long. With basic products from our paw & nail care category, you can keep your nails short, clean, and comfortable. One minute a month prevents weeks of discomfort.

3 — Dental care: the quietest cost-saver

Dental problems are invisible sources of pain and cause inflammation that affects appetite, behavior, and organs. Daily dental care is cheaper and more humane than surgery later on. Our range of cat dental care products includes items that slow down plaque buildup, prevent tartar, and keep breath fresher.

4 — Stress & behavior: a calm cat lives longer

Cats don't show stress verbally, but through behavior: hiding, excessive licking, bladder problems, aggression, or hair loss. In the categories stress & behavior and surgery/recovery you'll find support for moving house, new pets, vet visits, fireworks periods, and post-operative recovery. Less stress means faster healing, better acceptance of care, and a calmer household.

5 — Stomach & intestines: everything starts in the torso

Vomiting, loose stools, flatulence, and hairballs often indicate an upset digestive system. In the categories of stomach & intestines and digestion, you'll find support to restore gut flora, normalize bowel movements, and reduce hairballs. A calm digestive system positively impacts energy levels, immunity, and coat quality.

6 — Parasite prevention: protecting before the problem

With fleas, ticks, or worms, you're already too late once you see them. Prevention is the only effective strategy. In the category of deworming and parasite control, you'll find products that structurally protect cats, even if they live indoors—after all, fleas hitch a ride via people, textiles, and visitors.

7 — Transport & recovery: stress-free from A to the vet

Transport and aftercare are often stressful for cats. Products for transport crates and recovery/post-operative care make travel and healing calmer and safer – for the cat and for you.

8 — Eye and ear care: small and often forgotten

Eye discharge, earwax, or ear itching are often only addressed when they become visibly serious. In our eye & ear care category, you'll find products to keep early irritation clean and manageable, reducing the risk of infection.

The basic logical set (practical)

If you don't know where to start, start with one product per pillar:

• Coat/skin support ( brush or itch relief ).

• A good pair of nail clippers. Check them out here.

• Cat toothbrush and toothpaste from our dental care collection. Check them out here.

• Something that helps with stress during peak times, such as around New Year's Eve. Check them out here.

• Something for soothing the stomach/intestines or for hairballs. Check them out here .

• Parasite prevention. If you see a tick or discover fleas. Check them here.

• A sturdy travel crate for transporting your pet to and from the vet. Check them out here.

• Something for eye/ear care. Check them out here.

With such a basic kit, you shift from "reacting" to "preventing." That's more comfortable for the cat—and cheaper for you. Prevention is always better than cure.

Conclusion

Cats don't ask for what they need. Preventative cat care is the way to stay ahead of pain, stress, and expensive treatments. The cat care & vet collection offers exactly what's needed for good care without overtreatment: small, regular interventions with a big impact.

Don't wait until there's a problem to start caring — care as you would like to be cared for: early, gently, and consistently. Please note, we are not veterinarians. If in doubt, always contact your veterinarian first.
