One of the cats eats himself, usually this is difficult and you have to figure out how to give it. It is difficult to say about the effect, since the cats are young and healthy. The second cat flatly refused to eat on his own, I crumble the tablet into his food and eat it reluctantly, I hope there is some benefit.

After giving birth, Laura's fur always loses its shine and begins to shed heavily. At this time we feed her with vitamins. Especially in the area of her ears, strong bald spots appear, which are very noticeable. We have been purchasing Farmaks “Farmavit Active” vitamin and mineral complex for cats and kittens for the second year in a row. The price of the box is 205 rubles.
The cardboard box contains all the necessary information. Farmavit Active tablets are in a dark plastic jar. There are 60 tablets in a jar, each weighing 0.5 g. Tablets are round in shape, light gray in color. Each tablet has a cute cat face on it. Animals, of course, don’t care what’s on the tablets, as long as they’re edible, but the owners like it and always make them smile.
Our Laura happily swallows such pills without even having time to blink an eye. And we really like it, we don’t have to persuade her. We noticed an improvement in the condition of our Laura’s fur after two weeks of use. The fur began to crawl less and a pleasant shine appeared, which means the complex - the vitamins suited her. I recommend the Farmaks “Farmavit Active” vitamin and mineral complex for cats for purchase.

"Farmavit Neo" ("Farmaks")
The complex has been enviably popular among cat owners for more than 6 years. The supplement comes in small tablets containing a large number of useful elements: phosphorus, biotin, riboflavin, taurine, calcium and other substances.
The Neo complex is intended mainly for the younger generation. If your pet has already reached puberty, then you can try a similar product from the same manufacturer, but only with a higher concentration of elements - these are Omega vitamins for cats.
The supplement helps prevent vitamin deficiency and stabilizes metabolism. The Neo complex will be especially useful if your cat is expecting kittens. These vitamins can be given to the latter through the mother cat, then after birth and until puberty. This product also helps with deterioration of the skin and coat condition.
