Available formats: 3 kg
 

OTHER USECat-Dermato-1.png

  • Dermatitis
  • Pruritus

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
  • Chronic hepatic insufficiency 

 

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Improves Coat Condition

High linoleic acid (LA) content contributes to normal skin, reducing scale and helping to promote a shiny coat (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

High Protein & Sulphur Amino Acids

Richness in animal protein meets the high requirements to restore skin integrity with proper skin healing and hair regrowth.

DERMA Plus Complex

Concentration and balance in omega-6 and omega-3 (by fish and sunflower oils, borage seeds), plus synergistic co-factors vitamins A and E, help improve clinical signs of dermatosis and dermatitis. (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

High Level of Essential Fatty Acids*

High supplementation with both omega-6 and omega-3 helps decrease inflammatory processes, and repair skin and coat.

Supports Skin Barrier Effect

Richness in animal protein and essential fatty acids help reinforce natural skin defences, a key factor in management of dermatosis and dermatitis in the long term.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Modulates Inflammation

Balanced omega-6 to omega-3 helps reduce clinical signs related to inflammation (redness, itching).

High Digestibility and Digestive Tolerance

Addition of clay, prebiotics, probiotics, and fibres helps maintain a healthy digestive tract to optimise the absorption of all the essential nutrients for skin and coat.

Withdrawal of Major Allergens

The diet is made without beef, gluten, maize, wheat, rice, soya, egg, fish, and dairy products.

Immune Support

High protein content and added vitamin E help maintain a healthy immune system.

Suitable for all Life Stages

The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirement of cats at all ages or physiological status (kittens, gestating or lactating queens, and senior cats).
