Description
This medication may only be purchased with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. See information bar for further details
Metacam (or meloxicam) is a POM-V category medicine that can be prescribed by your vet for the treatment of painful inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or soft tissue injuries. Metacam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Metacam works by inhibiting an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase (particularly cyclooxygenase-2) that is responsible for prostaglandin synthesis.
Because osteoarthritis is an inflammatory condition Metacam and other NSAIDs are highly effective at controlling this form of pain and often bring much needed relief to a stiff and sore animal. Many owners report that their pet has a `new lease of life` following NSAID therapy.
Metacam is most widely available in liquid form that is usually very palatable and its taste is thought to be similar to that of honey! Other formulations include tablets and a liquid for injection. Osteoarthritis is a painful condition that can affect an animal`s joints. Arthritis is often seen in older animals due to the aging process although some younger pets may develop this condition as a consequence of other illnesses such as hip dysplasia or cruciate disease in dogs. Arthritic pain is also becoming increasingly diagnosed in cats as we are progressively more able to identify symptoms of pain in this species.

Aktivait for Cats: Cognitive Health Support for Ageing Cats
Aktivait for Cats is a scientifically formulated supplement that supports brain health in older cats. As cats age, cognitive decline can affect their behaviour, memory, and quality of life. Aktivait combines a unique blend of antioxidants, essential nutrients, and neuroprotective ingredients that help maintain mental sharpness and promote overall cognitive function.
Designed for long-term use, Aktivait is an effective way to support your cat’s brain health and improve their mental wellbeing as they age.
How Aktivait for Cats Works
Ageing can bring changes to the brain that impact a cat's memory, behaviour, and ability to learn. These changes are often caused by oxidative stress, which damages brain cells over time. Reduced blood flow, inflammation, and declining levels of essential neurotransmitters can also contribute to cognitive dysfunction.
Aktivait for Cats is formulated to counteract these age-related changes by:
- Combating oxidative stress: Antioxidants in Aktivait neutralise free radicals, reducing damage to brain cells and promoting healthy cognitive function.
- Supporting neurotransmitter production: Ingredients like acetyl-L-carnitine help maintain the levels of neurotransmitters, which are essential for communication between brain cells.
- Improving energy metabolism: Coenzyme Q10 and other nutrients enhance cellular energy production, ensuring that brain cells function efficiently.
- Reducing inflammation: Aktivait includes omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties that protect the brain and support overall cognitive health.
These ingredients work together to help maintain your cat’s memory, alertness, and quality of life as they age.

Cystophan for Cats - Pot of 30 Capsules
Cystophan for Cats
Cystophan for Cats is a supplement designed to support urinary tract health and bladder function in cats. It is often recommended by veterinary professionals for cats suffering from Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a common urinary condition that can cause stress and discomfort. By combining carefully selected ingredients, Cystophan helps maintain a healthy bladder lining, supports natural defences against irritation, and promotes overall urinary comfort.
How Cystophan for Cats Works
Cystophan is formulated with a combination of ingredients that support the bladder lining and promote comfort in cats affected by urinary conditions such as FIC. Its action is based on replacing and strengthening the natural defences of the bladder.
N-acetyl D-glucosamine: This is a key building block in the production of glycosaminoglycans. Supplementing with N-acetyl D-glucosamine supports the repair and reinforcement of the bladder lining, helping to restore its natural protective barrier.
L-tryptophan: This amino acid is included due to its role in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and stress responses. Since stress is strongly associated with the occurrence of FIC episodes, supporting normal serotonin levels may help reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
Hyaluronic acid: This naturally occurring substance helps maintain tissue hydration and elasticity. In the bladder, it plays a role in supporting the integrity of the lining and improving its ability to resist irritation.
Chicken flavouring: This is added to encourage voluntary acceptance by cats, making administration more straightforward. Cats are known for being selective with their food and supplements, so palatability is an important factor in ensuring consistent use.
