aligato says "Promotes and maintains healthy skin and fur for dogs and cats" about Universal Pet Products Proderma V

Proderma V is a "nutritional supplement for the promotion and maintenance of healthy skin and hair-coat." It is only for dogs and cats and comes in 8 oz canisters in a powder form.

Proderma V was recommended to me by my vet for one of my cats who had a dandruff problem. (see my gray/white one eyed kitty - Jester)

Jester alway had dandruff which would increase and decrease depending on the season, but it never went away.

I started putting Proderma in everyone's wet food. When I consistently gave them wet food every day, the dandruff problem went away and everyone's coat was a little softer and shinier. He looked and felt better, but the problem came back when I quit using Proderma.

I personally did not use the recommended dosage of 1/5 to 1/3 scoop per cat because the food became too gritty and the cats would not eat it. I only put in about 1/5 scoop per small can of wet food and then divided it between all my cats. They were all only getting very small amounts of the product, but it......

aligato says "Excellent deshedding tool and comb for pets" about FURminator Large

I just got the Furminator just the other day and I love it!!!

I have multiple cats and clean a lot of hairballs, especially in the summer.

The Furminator is a special comb that gets the loose hair and the pet's undercoat to significantly reduce shedding. My cats love it, too, and it's also great for dogs.

It comes in different sizes to accomodate your pet's size.

My only recommendation is to use it outside or on a hard floor surface because fur flies everywhere and will stick to your carpet/clothing, etc.

Overall, it is an excellent product!!!

aligato says "convenient way to keep fresh water available for your pets" about The Drinkwell Pet Fountain

The drinwell pet fountain is a convenient way to keep fresh water available for your pets.

Comes with either a 50 oz or 75 oz resovoir and 3 charcoal filters.

I use the large reservoir since i have multiple cats and only have to refill it every 7-10 days.

That cats love the constant spout of water and it encourages them to drink.

I have to rinse/wash it out 1-2 times a month which isn't bad, but it is difficult to clean out. You'll need special small brushes to scrub out all the inside areas. Also, I wish the power cord was detachable from the fountain's base to make it easier to unpug for cleaning.

Overall, great product and is great for ensuring your pets have water at all times.
