Default Derm Caps or Drs Foster & Smith "Vitacaps" for allergic cats?

Does anyone have experience with either? Some sites recommend this in
conjunction with Chlortrimeton for cats with allergies.





Derm Caps

A concentrated fatty acid dietary supplement that promotes healthy skin and
soft & shiny coats on dogs and cats. Formulated with a combination of
Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids such as Safflower Oil , Borage Seed Oil,

Highly concentrated source of marine lipid fatty acids is what your cat
needs for healthy skin. Especially rich in Omega-3 marine lipids, used by
veterinarians to alleviate dry, flaky skin and lessen incessant scratching
caused by allergies. In fact, we have 20%–30% more of the most effective
Omega-3s per capsule than our closest competitor. Vitacaps also contains
the antioxidants Vitamin A and Vitamin C plus the vital mineral Zinc, all
of which are necessary to help your pet build healthier skin and a quality
haircoat. Our competition does not. For cats and small dogs.

I get the *liquid* Derm Caps (comes in a pump bottle) and add it to
Persia's food when she gets dry skin. She doesn't have a medical skin
condition; it just gets flaky when I have to turn on the heat in the winter.
Heck, my skin needs extra help then, too. It works a treat. I've not tried
anything else but again, hers is not a medical condition. Good luck!

Does she still eat all the food with the spray added, and what brand food
do you give her?

I'm assuming that the liquid version adds a flavor that cats like.
