All animals require optimum nutrition to maintain good health. For some cats and dogs in certain situations, this can’t always be provided through their diet and needs to be supplemented through nutrients. One such group of nutrients are the Omega 3 and Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).

Our Coatex range consists of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and shampoos to help keep your pet’s skin and coat in top condition. The Coatex range consists of three different products:

At VetPlus we believe vets are best placed to advise on the best course of action for your pet.
Keep a close eye on your pet and if you see them itching, scratching or grooming more than normal, consult your vet.
Our products are only available through veterinary practices. To find your closest vet practice stockist, please visit our Vet Search page.
Coatex EFA comes in either a gel capsule or a liquid pump, to suit the needs of you and your pet. Your vet will advise on the quantity to feed. Both can be given alone or mixed in with food.
Coatex EFA contains a proven blend of Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs. The levels are specifically designed to help health in dogs and cats, and provide a better blend of ingredients than using a single EFA source such as evening primrose oil.
All of our products are manufactured in Lytham, Lancashire to GMP Standard. To find out more about our manufacturing facility, click here.
Name: Emi
Breed: Pekingese dog
Age: 11 years old
Emi’s Story:
Emi was born in October 2005 and is a very shy Pekingese dog. In 2006 after being sterilised, she started loosing her fur around her neck and on her belly. Ms Nandia tried several veterinarians around Limassol and several treatments after doing analysis after analysis for Emi.
The diagnosis she received was that Emi’s problem was hormonal and psychological and this was causing her hair loss. Emi had also developed rashes and dry skin in many areas during the hot summer months. No treatment worked very well until around 2014 when she started using Coatex together with the thyroxine tablets that she was already taking. The results since then have been phenomenal. Emi’s coat has finally grown back completely and is shiny.
