Recommended Dosage
The dosage instructions for Doctors Foster and Smith Vitacaps For Small Dogs and Cats is "One capsule for pets up to 25 lbs. of body weight per day."
Test Results and Conclusion
Each Vitacap is a large capsule- too big to give a cat in its original form. Annie cuts the end of a capsule and pours it on Buffy's moist food in the morning. She stirs it in well to hide it.
The results? After a week after Buffy started taking Doctors Foster and Smith Vitacaps For Small Dogs and Cats, Annie noticed an improvement in her cat's skin condition. After two weeks, the scabs or thick, dry scales- whatever they were- are completely gone. Annie has since cut down the dosage to 2 to 3 times a week, and Buffy's skin is still clear. Her coat is shiny and softer too.

Post a CommentGreat review. I think our kitty needs some kind of vitamin. Going to take her to vet soon to see what she thinks.
good work, thanks!
I may have to try this for my cat. I've never given her supplements.
Interesting. My friend gives her cat vitamins but we don't give them to our pets. I need to consider this.
Those omega fatty acids are good for both pets and people! good info.
This sounds like a wonderful product! I've not heard of it before. Thanks for the review.
