Cats are special animals, with a unique grace and independence. But, just as they take care of their territory, we want to take care of them with the best natural products. From our cooperative, we have worked for generations to offer an extra pure virgin olive oil, made with our Arbequina olives from Castelldans. Did you know that this same oil can bring many benefits to your cat’s health?
Benefits of extra virgin olive oil for cats
Improves coat and skin health
Extra virgin olive oil is rich in healthy fatty acids , such as omega-3 and omega-6, which can help keep your cat’s skin hydrated and problem-free. A soft, shiny coat is not only a sign of a well-groomed cat, but also of general good health.
Question : How can I incorporate olive oil into my cat’s diet?
You can add a few drops of olive oil to his food ration once or twice a week. In addition to improving its coat, your cat will enjoy it.
Facilitates digestion and helps with hairballs
Cats, due to their constant grooming nature, can suffer from problems with hairballs. Olive oil has properties that can help smooth out intestinal transit, making it easier for hairballs to pass through your digestive system.
Question : Is it safe for my cat to take olive oil?
Yes, as long as it is in small amounts and in moderation. About ¼ teaspoon per week is a good amount.
It can help maintain healthy joints
As cats age, they can suffer from joint problems. Olive oil contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help ease these pains, keeping your cat active and agile for longer.
A product of the countryside, pure and beneficial
When we think of olive oil, we think of the wealth of our land, the hands that work the Arbequina olives and the care with which each drop is produced. Offering this treasure of the countryside to your cat is a way of bringing it closer to nature, to the well-being and health that our earth gives us.
