Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by carlsaan Stops Shedding I was on the fence about this product initially, but it started to work within as week. Now my cat's shedding has been reduced 1000 fold...not exaggerating. At first my cat wouldn't eat food coated in it... we had a little stand-off. I ended up increasing the food ratio until she found it tolerable, then once she was used to it, I increased the concentration. October 10, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bettafan It Works!!! I adopted a cat - yeah. Her coat was very dull tho. Don't know what she had been eating but I ordered this VitaCoat+ and some great Blue and Drs. Foster and Smith cat food. She is beautiful now and not over grooming herself. Great products. I use Drs. Foster & Smith for all my fish, dog and cat needs. June 30, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by KCN77 Excellent product for cats! My Russian Blue cats (2 of 4 cats) are shedding terribly and have dandruff. The Vitacoat Plus helps that. I told the vet about it and he was impressed too. June 12, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by TommyT Good stuff!! I've been giving this to my cat for about 10 yrs & it's great for itchy skin! She doesn't scratch or run around frantically nearly as much as she does when she did before I started using Vitacoat. Highly recommended! March 15, 2015

I am interested in the Vita Coat Plus for my cat.

My cat is on a prescription diet to control crystals/uriniary tract issue Hills c/d. Will adding the Vita Coat Plus interfere or negatively affect him?

he sheds and has a lot of dander...my guess is his skin is too dry from being on the prescription food.

Thank you!

Can I put this medication directly into cat's mouth?

My cat does not eat wet food and will starve himself before eating dry food that I have sprinkled this on.
Can I use a dropper to put this directly into his mouth?
Or does this come in pill format?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can administer it with a dropper. You will want to make sure that your cat either eats before or after administering it to avoid any stomach upset.

Bowdoin,

Thank you for your question. It is very possible that the VitaCoat will work for your cat, however, we would recommend speaking to your Veterinarian to ensure that this is a product that you would be able to use.
