Beaphar Vit Bits, 75 pcs are crunchy cat bites filled with multivitamin paste. Besides the vitamins needed every day, they contain taurine, which supports eyesight and heart health, and a complex of B vitamins that help prevent hair loss, a dull coat and skin problems. Ingredients: cereals, vegetable derivatives, milk and dairy products, oils and fats, meat and animal derivatives, yeast. The bites are used as a treat and to prevent vitamin and mineral deficiency, which shows up as hair loss and a poor coat, especially during moulting.
How to give them
The manufacturer offers two regimes. For prevention, 5–10 bites a day. As an intensive course, 10–20 bites a day for three weeks. The easiest way is to give them as rewards during the day or after meals. If you run the course, remember to count the bites in the total amount of treats.

When a cat needs vitamins
A cat on a complete food usually gets enough vitamins from its diet. Extra support can be useful during moulting, after illness, with a poor coat or if the cat eats a lot of home-made food. But if hair falls out in clumps or bald patches appear, take your cat to the vet first — parasites or skin disease may be the cause. More in vitamins for dogs and cats: when they are needed.
Moulting
In spring and autumn cats actively change their coat, and B vitamins and complete nutrition help the new coat grow thick and shiny. Do not forget to brush your cat so that less hair ends up in its stomach. Tips are in autumn moulting in dogs and cats.
Combining with other treats
Beaphar also makes bites for other purposes, such as Cat-A-Dent Bits for the teeth. If you give several kinds, keep the total amount of treats reasonable and reduce the main food. If your cat already gets vitamins, for example Beaphar Kitty's Taurine + Biotine, do not combine several vitamin supplements without your vet's advice.
Storage
Keep the pack closed in a dry place so the bites stay crunchy and the paste does not spoil. The best-before date is on the pack.
Water
Dry treats increase the need for fluid. Make sure your cat always has fresh water, especially if it eats mostly dry food.
Who it suits
The bites suit cats without cereal or dairy intolerance, especially during moulting and with a dull coat. Other vitamins are in our cat vitamins collection and the cat treats section.
Verdict
Beaphar Vit Bits are crunchy bites with multivitamin paste, taurine and B vitamins: 5–10 a day for prevention or 10–20 a day as a three-week course. The downsides are the missing vitamin amounts and pack weight in the card, and a cereal and dairy base that does not suit sensitive cats.
