AnimAll VetLine Beauty Hair & Skin herbal paste, 100 g is a paste for cats to improve coat and skin condition from the Ukrainian brand AnimAll. It's based on plant extracts, coconut and other oils, probiotics and a prebiotic. According to the manufacturer, regular use improves the coat, speeds up hair growth, adds shine and strength, helps form strong claws and makes shedding easier, while also improving digestion and acting as a general tonic.
What's inside
The paste contains extracts of St John's wort, pomegranate, immortelle, black willow, seaweed, black cumin and aloe vera. According to the manufacturer, aloe improves tissue nourishment and repair, while black willow extract activates skin metabolism and helps prevent hair loss. The plant extracts are obtained after cryodestruction — grinding the raw material at low temperature, which preserves more active compounds. The paste also contains probiotics, coconut oil, oils (30%) and fats (1%), plant fibre, yeast extract and a prebiotic (TGOS).

How to give it
Give your cat 5 cm of paste a day, straight from the tube or mixed into food. The paste should be at room temperature: if it's been in the fridge, warm the tube first. Many cats happily lick the paste off a finger; if yours refuses, put a little on a paw — the cat will lick it off while grooming. The supplement is used to help prevent skin problems and dandruff, improve coat condition and colour, and speed up shedding. Don't give it to cats sensitive to any of the ingredients.
Coat and shedding
Coat condition reflects health: a dull, brittle coat and dandruff can result from an unbalanced diet, parasites, skin disease and stress. During shedding, regular brushing is especially important so less hair ends up in the stomach. If your cat brings up hairballs, a malt paste helps — for example KRUG Malt Paste; causes and prevention are covered in hairballs in cats: what to do. On seasonal coat change, see autumn shedding in dogs and cats.
Storage
Keep the closed tube in a dark, dry place out of children's reach at 2 to 20 °C. Once opened, keep the paste in the fridge. Shelf life is 2 years.
Who it suits
Cats over 10 weeks with a dull coat, dandruff or dry skin and during shedding, as well as for keeping the coat beautiful. From the AnimAll VetLine range we've reviewed the Anti-Stress paste. More supplements are in the vitamins and mineral supplements section.
