My cat only eats dry food. Does he need vitamins or supplements?

Question

Hi i have been enjoying this Petco Pet Education Center app! But anyway yoda is on blue buffalo adult duck cat food. There is no wet food in the mix he just won’t eat it. I feel like he isn’t getting enough nutrients. It’s not a huge deal but wondering if i should buy vitamins or supplements change the food or add something he might enjoy to the mix. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | 1 year and 8 months old | 7.2 lbs

Blue Buffalo food (along with most commercially available cat foods) is nutritionally balanced to meet minimum requirements. You shouldn't need to supplement with a vitamin. Anything else you would offer would just be for fun. Since he's not a fan of the wet food you could try offering him a couple of treats a day if you want to give him something he enjoys, but I would only give 1-2 small treats and would not recommend this if he seems at all overweight (9 lbs seems like a pretty ideal weight for an average Persian). Some cats also like to nibble on cat grass which you can grow from seed or purchase in small containers.
