The cat was cured
In general, I am very skeptical about any drugs, tablets, and especially dietary supplements and do not believe that they can bring any benefit to either a person or an animal. I have one cat, but a couple of months ago, he started getting sick. In its structure, it reminds me of a fat, lazy cat who is not interested in playing and eats something and sleeps all day long. He only wakes up at night to be fed.
But about six months ago he began to eat poorly, ate practically nothing, he began to weigh him on the scales and it was clear that he began to lose weight. I refused my favorite delicacies, which I ate almost every day, without rebelling. And then I even stopped eating dry food, although I don’t spoil my cat with it often, well, about 2 times a week, but in large quantities, though. I decided to take the cat to the vet. The veterinarian explained that the cat had digestive problems. And most likely this happened because of this dry food that I fed the cat. As a result, the doctor prescribed Omega-3 seaweed vitamins for the cat. And a month later, come to him so that he can look at the cat again and draw conclusions whether the vitamins helped the cat or not. Should I prescribe new pills for my cat or not?
Well, since the veterinarian prescribed Omega-3 seaweed vitamins for my cat, I had to buy him these tablets. When the vet told me that I would have to buy these pills. I thought I would have to go broke. But it turned out that they cost no more than the dry food that I fed my cat. Tablets in the store cost about 65 rubles, and there are 90 of them in a package.
this is what the pills look like
I came home and gave one thing to my Caesar. Caesar sniffed it and immediately swallowed it. The tablets smell like the same dry cat food, but they are the size of a five-kopeck coin and have a beige color with speckles. Many people in their reviews about Omega-3 with seaweed claim that their pets do not want to eat these tablets at all, but as you can see, this was not the case with my cat. After 6 hours he gave me another one and he didn’t refuse it either. After giving the second Omega-3 seaweed tablet, within half an hour the cat at least ate a normal home-cooked meal. I gave the cat 1-3 tablets a day, no more. The main thing is that after them the cat showed at least some appetite. A month later, I went with the cat for a check-up, explained that things had become better, the cat began to eat well and his digestion had already returned to normal. The veterinarian also noted an improvement in the cat’s health. In 3 months I was only able to feed the entire package to the cat.
It is possible that I will buy more of these tablets for my cat, since he has begun to like them. But on the other hand, I won’t overfeed my Caesar with them, because they may be addictive. I started noticing this about two weeks ago, when the cat became lazy and irritable at the same time. When I approach the box where the vitamins are, he starts screaming heart-rendingly, even if I’m not going to give them to him. Therefore, I’ll probably feed this pack to my cat and won’t buy any more Omega-3 seaweed tablets for my cat. Although I am incredibly grateful for these vitamins. The cat was able to recover, his stomach began to function better. Now I will not feed the cat dry food, but will feed the cat normal food, preferably in the morning and evening. The vet said so, he wrote a special diet and now I will stick to this diet. As it is written on the box itself, Omega-3 seaweed helps to: - improve the gastrointestinal tract; - helps to develop healthy habits; — prevents the occurrence of allergic reactions; - enhances pigmentation of the nose and coat; - prevents the development of obesity; - maintains an active lifestyle; - reduces the effects of stress. And how many other beneficial elements are in Omega-3 seaweed). And this is what it says on the box:

Operating principle
Vitamins "Doctor ZOO" are a tasty and nutritious supplement to the basic diet. Their components ensure normal functioning of the body, improve coordination of movements, and maintain the balance of microelements.
The composition of the complex is enriched with protein (animal protein), which is an essential component of a cat’s diet. Felines are carnivores by nature and require animal protein. Pets rarely get the optimal amount of protein in their diet. In this case, they are recommended to give it in addition to the main diet.
Taurine included in the composition must be ingested through food or nutritional supplements, since it is not synthesized in the cat’s body (unlike humans). It is an integral component of all tissues, including the heart muscle. With its deficiency, the heart and organs of vision are the first to suffer.
Taurine promotes normal heart function, ensures proper digestion, and supports the immune system. A sufficient amount of it in the body reduces the risk of developing degenerative processes in the retina.
Doctor ZOO contains the optimal amount of biotin. Biotin affects the condition of the skin, claws, and fur. Biotin deficiency is most common in kittens and older animals. Normally, this vitamin is produced in the intestines, but it is still not enough to fully meet the body's needs.
Biotin is involved in many important life processes:
- enhances the effect of zinc;
- promotes the release of energy from carbohydrates;
- processes fatty acids;
- is a “transport” for sulfur into cells.
It prevents hair loss, maintains optimal pigmentation, and maintains healthy skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
The combination of useful components in the Doctor ZOO complex is designed to generally strengthen the animal, replenish the required microelements and prevent various diseases.

Owner reviews
Katerina:
“I use Doctor ZOO vitamins for cats regularly. I take different flavors for variety. They helped solve the problem with constant hair loss. After taking them, the cat stopped shedding so much, and the appearance of her coat improved significantly. The cat really likes vitamins. I give them not only with food, but also just like that, as a treat (without exceeding the amount indicated on the package). I'm satisfied with the quality of the product."
Larisa:
“I’ve been familiar with the Doctor ZOO brand for a long time. Since our furry lives in a private home, we constantly use a flea collar from this company. Reviews about the collar can be good; the animal is not tormented by parasites, it does not interfere, and does not cause allergies. Therefore, we decided to try the “Skin and Coat Health” vitamins for cats. The result was twofold: on the one hand, the cat really liked the treat, but on the other hand, the reaction to it was inadequate. It seems that valerian is included there, because the cat was ready to climb over me just to get the coveted pills. I didn’t like this reaction, so we don’t give them anymore.”
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of Doctor Zoo vitamin supplements is the taste formula. It is fully adapted to the taste preferences of cats living at home.
The manufacturer produces a variety of products at low prices; they can be easily found in pet stores. The vitamins have convenient packaging; they can be added to both ready-made and natural food. The composition contains taurine, an element necessary for the normal functioning of the animal’s body. The disadvantages include the lack of vitamin complexes for sterilized and neutered pets. It is also important that some animals experience inappropriate reactions after using Doctor Zoo.
