Natural VetCare Cat'Skin – Skin & Coat Supplement for Cats, 60g

Natural VetCare Cat'Skin Skin & Coat Supplement for Cats – 60g

Cat'Skin is the powder in NAF's Natural VetCare range for cats whose skin is itchy, flaky or quick to react. It pairs marine omega 3 from fish oil with chlorella and spirulina, methyl sulphonyl methane and a heavy vitamin and trace element load, and is fed by scoop straight into the food.

The declared analysis is 32.6% crude protein and 15.9% crude oils and fats, of which 5.09% is omega 3 — a high inclusion for a feline supplement, and the reason the dose is a scoop or a scoop and a half rather than a spoonful. Biotin, zinc and taurine are all added at levels aimed squarely at coat quality and skin repair.

Performance & Benefits

• Fish oil supplying 5.09% omega 3, the fats a skin barrier is built from.
• Methyl sulphonyl methane, a sulphur source used in coat and connective tissue support.
• Dried chlorella and spirulina for broad antioxidant cover.
• Zinc at 3,230mg/kg and biotin at 11.60mg/kg, both directly involved in skin and hair quality.
• Taurine at 17,474mg/kg, an amino acid cats cannot make enough of themselves.
• Yeast-based and palatable, so it goes into wet or dry food without much argument.

Suitable For

• Cats with itchy, flaky or dull coats.
• Cats whose skin flares seasonally or with an environmental trigger.
• Cats of any breed, dosed above and below 4kg bodyweight.
• Long-term daily feeding alongside a normal diet.
• Not a topical treatment — for a cracked nose or a split pad, Natural VetCare Pet'Skin Balm is the one to reach for.

Feeding

• Cats up to 4kg: 1 scoop per day.
• Cats over 4kg: 1½ scoops per day.
• Mix into the food, in one meal or spread across the day.
• Feed daily — skin and coat changes take several weeks to show.
• NAF publish no scoop weight, so no days-per-tub figure is stated here. This listing is the 60g tub.
