Highlighted Reviews

— Lindsay

"This supplement has worked wonders for my Sweetie. She had extremely bad dandruff and shedding and the vet recommended a skin vitamin and some weight loss. I used this vitamin while using an activity feeder and her dandruff has cleared up by 95% and it's only been 2 1/2 months!"

— Brenda

"I have three cats and none would even touch these supplements! I am not able to use them. Whatever is in them, they do not like. Will not buy again....."

Bottom Line

This supplement will be a hit or miss depending on your cats palate, with great results for some and strong dislikes from others. Be warned that purchasing more than one bag could prove problematic if your cat declines to eat it.
