Dolfos Dolvit Beta carotene Biotin forte Dog, 90 tablets is a skin and coat supplement for dogs from the Polish manufacturer Dolfos. It's based on nutrients needed for proper coat formation: biotin, amino acids and chelated zinc, plus beta-carotene and brewer's yeast. The tablets are given in 45-day courses — for a dull coat, heavy shedding and skin problems.
What's inside and why
Biotin, amino acids and chelated zinc are the coat's "building kit": they're needed for healthy hair growth and formation. Chelated zinc is zinc bound to amino acids. Beta-carotene is provitamin A: according to the manufacturer, it deepens coat colour, strengthens immunity, supports vision and protects the skin from harmful factors. Brewer's yeast is a natural source of B vitamins. The manufacturer notes that regular use improves skin and coat condition and gives good results in dogs with skin problems.

How to give it
The daily dose is 1 tablet per 20 kg of body weight. A 10 kg dog gets half a tablet, a 40 kg dog two tablets. For heavy shedding and persistent dullness, the manufacturer allows doubling the daily dose. The course lasts 45 days, followed by a 14–20 day break, and can be repeated if needed. For small breeds the Dolvit Beta carotene Biotin forte Mini is more convenient — one mini tablet covers 3 kg of body weight. The tablet can be given as a treat or crumbled into food.
A good coat starts with diet
A supplement works better when the base diet is complete: a quality food with enough protein and fat. A dull coat and dandruff can also come from parasites, allergies, skin disease and hormonal disorders, so if the course doesn't help, take your dog to the vet. Regular brushing speeds up coat renewal — see our articles on autumn shedding in dogs and cats, caring for a dog's coat at home and when dogs and cats really need vitamins.
Who it suits
Medium and large dogs with a dull coat, heavy or prolonged shedding, dry skin and skin problems — in 45-day courses. If you need omega fatty acids, see our Dolvit Omega review. More supplements are in the vitamins and mineral supplements section.
Verdict
Dolvit Beta carotene Biotin forte is a simple, clear coat course: biotin, chelated zinc, amino acids and beta-carotene in a tablet that covers 20 kg. Good value for medium and large dogs; small dogs are better off with the Mini version. Give it as a 45-day course with a break and don't expect instant results — the coat renews gradually.
