Description
Coatex is an Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) supplement for cats and dogs.
Because animals are unable to produce many essential nutrients, they have to be supplemented by diet. One such group is known as EFA's. When dogs or cats are deficient in certain EFAs, this can cause problems such as dry, scaly or itchy skin. Also, some conditions like atopic dermatitis are characterised by reduced lipids and EFAs in the epidermal layer.
Both are designed to ensure maximum freshness and prevent the degradation of the EFAs within it. Coatex capsules can be either given as a capsule or in the food. The pump should be added and mixed in with a daily meal.
Coatex Contains:
- Linoleic Acid (LA)
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)
- Eicosapentaenoic Acid
- Docosahexanoic Acid
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D3
Signs that your pet might benefit from Coatex EFA's include:
- Dull
- Dry
- Scaly
- Itchy
- Poor hair growth
If you are concerned, we would recommend that you speak to your veterinarian for a full examination to ensure the correct course of action is taken.
Scientists, who first discovered the importance of EFAs in 1929, found that EFA deficiency could cause growth retardation, skin lesions, organ failure, hormone dysfunction, impaired fertility and many other disorders.
